Montana Girl at Heart: Pura Vida

Pura Vida

Today we leave for Costa Rica! It has been a tough week for us but I think we are going to survive. Adam is on antibiotics for a sinus infection and I went to the doctor on Wednesday and found out I have the flu. I was given medication which has really helped and now I just feel like I have a head cold.

Our flight leaves at 3 pm from Baltimore and we arrive in Costa Rica at 9:40 tonight (central time). Tomorrow morning we meet up with everyone except for Adam's family and we will all be transported from San Jose to Manuel Antonio via a big shuttle bus. It should be fun and a great way for everyone to get to know each other. Adam and I are still both amazed at how many people are attending the wedding and all the love and support we have received from everyone.

We return on Saturday, February 24th. Until then, Pura Vida!

Out of the Mouth of Babes

Charlie was sad because Adam asked her to flush the toilet after she used it and she didn't want to. Her response, "My heart is sinking like a stone."
"But Dad, how do I drop my attitude?"
This afternoon I asked Charlie if she wanted to FaceTime with Papa and Mimi. This was her response: "Well, if you give me playdough to play with then I won't wiggle (as she shakes her bootie), but if you don't give me playdough then I am going to wiggle when I FaceTime. It is your chance (I think she meant to say choice)."
Adam was snuggling with Charlie one night before bed. "Dad, has it been 5 minutes yet?" "Yes, Charlie it has been 5 minutes." "Ugggh! It felt like forever! You can go now."
"I want what I want and I don't want what I don't want."
"Dad, I can't see the TV. Your big bum is in the way!"
"Mom, you make my heart so happy." Charlie randomly said this while we were grocery shopping.
Charlie's preschool class had a Christmas party and Santa Claus showed up. Charlie was very shy and didn't want to get very close to him. I asked her if she wanted to sit on Santa's lap and she shook her head no. I then told her she needed to tell Santa what she wanted for Christmas. She said, "That's okay. I have enough toys."
As I was putting Charlie to bed tonight, she said, "Mama, I have a good idea. How 'bout I sleep in your bed tonight." I told her she could fall asleep in our bed but she would have to go to her own bed when we went to bed. As Adam carried her back to her bed a few hours later, half asleep, she said, "But what about my good idea?"
As Charlie sat down to pee it took her a couple seconds to actually start peeing. Once she started she said, “Hi pee! We’ve been waiting for you!”
One night Charlie was literally moaning and groaning all through dinner. After 5-10 minutes I finally asked her why she was being so loud. She said, "Because I want all of your attention."
"I'm going to go scare the pee right out of Daddy!"
