A quiet week

This week Abbi Grace is at my mom's. She was the only grandchild that was not able to spend the week with them this summer, and currently the only one not going to school. So, during the day it is just me. What to do, what to do? I am trying to get the house good and clean, so that we can declutter and rearrange. Why are we as people obsessed with having stuff? I have so much stuff, Emma has a ton of stuff, and Abbi Grace is on her way to having to much stuff. It has been a lit easier to clean this week with Grace gone, b/c her favorite thing to do is walk behind me and take the things that I put up, to a different room. She then says "mom, come see dis, I helpin cwean. Come on." I then follow her to a random room where she shows me how she has moved everything. In her defense, I am usually taking toys from the living room and putting them in the play room, so she is doing the same. I am ready for her to come home. I miss all the funny things that she says, and the silly little things she does.

I am getting to spend a lot of quality time with Emma. It has been nice. I miss just the me and her time. I had lunch with her at school today, and I am planning on doing that again this week. It is so much fun to see her at school. She is such a big girl now. Next week we will be back to the run around of our every day life of a family of four, but for now it is just a quiet week with just us three.
