This Weekend

This weekend was spent getting some more unpacking done around the house and playing World of Warcraft. I have been obsessed with playing WoW again since I joined a guild. I am part of a knitting community called Ravelry and there is a WoW group there and reading the posts got me into playing all the time. I have created new characters and joined the Ravelry guilds on both the Alliance and Horde side. I have really been enjoying it.

Saturday we went and got me a new cell phone, its a green LG enV. I really like it. We have been sending more phone text messages lately and I wanted a new phone with a qwerty keyboard so it would be easier to type out the texts.

Roland and I have decided to go back on the Weight Watchers plan. He even let me sign up with the online version so we can get back on track and have some support doing it. It's the end of the first day and I have already over eaten a bit, but I'm doing better than most days, so its a good start.

We decided to sleep train Drake. This means that he is going to be put into his crib while he is awake and no longer letting him fall asleep in our arms. I started on Friday morning by putting him down for his nap in his crib when normally I would let him fall asleep in my arms and than put him down in his chair. It wasn't to hard to get him to sleep Friday night, until he woke up when Roland got home and he had a really hard time calming down. Saturday took a little less time. Tonight I put him down, he fussed a bit, got distracted by a toy and while he was turned away I left the room. He fussed a bit and calmed down afterwards. I haven't heard a peep from him for a while so I am assuming he must be asleep by now. This is so much easier than holding him for an hour or more, or listening to him fuss and cry while Roland tries to calm him to sleeping.

Here is a picture of Drake from Friday.


We went for a walk around our new neighborhood on Thursday and Friday.


Our yard is much bigger at this house, so Roland decided to get a new lawn mower, oh make that a lawn tractor. See the post on his blog for more details :)
