The Boardman Band: 12 Hours and Counting

12 Hours and Counting

Well, tomorrow's the big day! Matt, Bauer and I get on the ferry in Ludington at 9 am, which means we need to be there at 8 am, which means we need to leave at 5 am, which means I need to get up at 4 am! Yikes! I still have a few things to get done and almost all my packing to do, but we're waiting for our dinner to finish cooking because I just can't do anything with a painfully empty stomach!

Tomorrow is my sisters graduation (7pm on a Thursday?) and then Matt comes back home by himself on Friday while Bauer and I go on with my mom to her place in Minnesota! Poor Matt, I think he's really going to miss us this year. I always feel bad because I have a blast over at my mom's place while he sits over here by himself. This year though, I'm going to leave him a big long to-do list to keep him busy! I've taken it easy on him the last couple years and he's slacked on the four jobs that I've given him. Hopefully if I leave a longer list he won't be able to forget about it so easily!
Anyway, I'll try to keep up on my blog while I'm over there so don't count us out yet! See you all (or most of you) when I get back!

Hey and if Matt gets through your to-do list - send him on over and he can help Dan with ours if he gets bored! Lol...

Have a fun and safe trip!; June 4, 2008 at 8:58 PM
Hope said...: hmmm I seem to remember a couple years back a to-do list, hanging curtains or something. You were telling me about it at swim class.
I hope that list goes well.

When Kurt left the to-do list was get Lillian potty trained. So to you Matt: I suggest your own to-do list for Aubrey :)
Have Fun!; June 4, 2008 at 9:10 PM

Ann said...: Have fun! Vacations rock! Even if you do have to get up that early. I think the "Honey Do" list is a great idea! My mother in law leaves one for E.Jays dad everytime she leaves and E.Jay hates that! I think I'll try it sometime and see what he does! :); June 5, 2008 at 9:14 AM

Ashlee said...: Have a great vacation, I hope that you get the chance to do a little relaxing while you are there! I'm thinking the to do list is a great idea. You have inspired me to leave one for Andy as well. I'll make sure he knows that you are the one to THANK!!; June 7, 2008 at 8:44 AM

Bauer Moments

Bauer - "Me and Daddy are the dads, you're the kid, and Cadance is the mommy."
Me - "Great, then you can do all the work and I'll play all day! That sounds perfect!"
Bauer - "Oops. No, you and Daddy are the parents!" (5/2/11)

We walked past some kids playing basketball: "Wow, they're really good!....But I'm a little bit better." (4/29/11)

Easter Morning "Cay-cay and me got the most wonderful things!" (4/28/11)

"I didn't do it. It was just a dream I had." Bauer woke up to Cadance crying and wanted to make sure he didn't get in trouble for it! (4/20/11)

"I just said quietly to myself, 'Hmm, I like bubbles.'" (4/19/11)

We were driving with the windows open and there was a car in the next lane that was making a loud clicking sound. The sound got louder as we passed it and Bauer started yelling, "Quick! Roll up the windows! I hear something outside that's trying to come it!" He thought there was a really large spider on our roof trying to climb into the windows. (4/10/2011)

"Dang you dull chicken nugget!" (4/6/2011)

Talking about pancakes, "It feels as soft as a chick's fur!" (3/31/2011)

Talking about a tornado, "It's like a straw...only a lot bigger and twisty-er!" (3/30/2011)

Cadance was being particularly troublesome one evening and Bauer said, "She's such a mischief baby today! She must have decided that at naptime" and "She's the most mischief baby we've ever had!" (3/29/2011)

Getting frustrated while playing the Wii: "Alright, that's it!" (3/5/11)

"I just can't stop eating these, they're so good!" (2/24/11)

Talking about how he wanted an "Angry Bird" party for his birthday, "Some boys can be red birds, and some boys can be yellow birds, and some boys can be blue birds. Who wants to be the pigs?" Me - "I don't know." Bauer - "Hmm....maybe....you do, Mommy." (1/23/11)

After opening a McDonalds toy while we were in the car when he was supposed to wait until we got home, "Well, I was just interested in opening it...so I did." (1/10/11)

Bauer has a loose tooth! (Although he kind of did it to himself...) (1/7/11)

Whispered into my ear, "I just tooted out of my weiner." (12/3/10)

Written on a Thanksgiving project for school: "I'm thankful for chicks because they're my favorite animal." (11/26/10)

Bauer couldn't understand what Cadance was saying while we were in the car, so he came to the only logical conclusion, "She's just speaking Spanish!" (9/16/10)

Cadance's Corner

When I picked Cadance up from nursery today she was so excited to see me! She leapt into my arms, gave me lots of hugs, showered me with kisses, patted my neck and said, "Hi Mommy!" (4/10/2011)

She can reach the doorbell all by herself now! (4/10/2011)

Cadance thinks cat food is a suitable afternoon snack. (4/8/2011)

She likes to say, "Shew" (as in "phew") when she does something strenuous. (3/30/2011)

"Oops-shie!" (3/4/11)

Cadance sucks her thumb. When I rock her before bed she likes to tease me with her soaking wet thumb by holding it inches away from my face and laughing because she knows I don't want her to touch me with it! (2/1/11)

"Yuh-yoo" - I Love You "Bye-yoo" - Bye, I Love You "Pubby" - Pumpkin "Ninguh Nie-Nie" - Little Einsteins "Min-uh-ma" - Mario (1/29/11)

Is obsessed with showing us the picture of the Deep Dark Woods in her Peep and the Big Wide World book. She even yells out something that's supposed to sound like, "Deep Dark Woods!!" and we have to yell it back and then she says, "Boo!" (1/21/11)

Taps my mouth and sings "E-i-o" to get me to sing Old Macdonald of sings "How I Wond" so that I'll sing Twinkle, Twinkle. (1/12/11)
