Dry, dry, dry

By Moriah on July 10th, 2009

Are we EVER in the Land of Dry. I’m going to need a gallon of lotion just to see us through the week. It’s the kind of thing that makes your eyes burn and I’ve already got a patch of dry flaky skin on my cheek.

A little bit of a shock, even if expected, coming from the South where you don’t need lotion because it’s so humid. Madeline’s curls have even fallen out, turning into a messy sort of wave.

We got to my mom’s yesterday afternoon. When my sisters got home from work, they wasted no time in taking the kids out to play and showed the kids this new trick:

My grandparents live down the street, so we went over there for dinner last night. My kids got to sit up at the bar (which they thought terribly exciting):

My aunt made the yummiest chicken enchiladas but they should have come with the pregnancy heartburn warning label “FIRE, FIRE! PROCEED WITH CAUTION OR YOUR STOMACH WILL HATE YOU LATER!”

And then we got to watch some natural beauty like this:

And “borrowed” my grandparents’ neighbor’s toys:

This morning we’ve been playing puzzles (which have their names personalized into the picture, courtesy of the grandparents):

My girls have been in heaven with my sister’s makeup drawer(s) and having their aunts around to do things like apply glitter and paint nails:

(Aren’t chubby two-year-old hot pink nails the cutest? You should see her toes.)

And we’ve been messing up the Post-It notes:

The things you get away with at Grandma’s.

I’m telling you, the fun never ends.

Share and Enjoy:

I’m sad I can’t enlarge the pictures when I click on them. SO happy for you and the kids to be there! Soak it up!

Looks like you’re having a great time! It’s funny to see different people’s perspective because I hated having curly hair in the south and loved how well my curls worked in CO. And, I’ll take the dryness over the humidity any day. Guess it just depends what you’re used to! Hope you get over the altitude sickness soon.
