Another "on-site" Saturday

Well, here I sit this Saturday afternoon overseeing my neighborhood. I have been employed as an on site real estate agent since December of 1998. I have worked for a few different builders during the last 9-10 years. What has been one of the most wonderful aspects of my job is the life long girlfriends I have made. The other agent that I work with now has been one of my closest friends and "business associates" ( that sounds so formal and sooooo not us) for as long as I can remember. She and I have shared quite a few life experiences together. We have lost parents, gotten married, started families all along side of each other. Our little boys are about 3 weeks apart in age. They are both such sweet little souls. We are taking a family trip to Orlando this Labor Day weekend- not sure who will be working in the neighborhood but "oh well"! We are staying at the Animal Kingdom park in the hotel that overlooks the Savanna. It looks truly amazing- supposedly we will have clear views of different animals like beautiful giraffes- I can't wait! I think Coleston will lose his mind!! I bought him some plastic safari animals so he could start learning to say "monkey", "giraffe", "hippo" etc. Well, he unloaded them onto the coffee table and within 5 minutes I noticed Ashes, one of our Great Danes gnawing on something in the floor. Our giraffe is now without legs! But anyway, Coleston is so cute- he takes the animals in the shower and plays with them on the shower seat. Once we go on our trip I will post some pictures. I really think that Coleston and Luke will have fun together. They are both so laid back and play well together.
I'm glad we have been somewhat busy today as it makes the time go by. I would really love to go see "The Dark Knight" tonight. It used to be so easy to go to the movies with Coleston. We would take a bottle and he would be asleep within minutes. Now he wants to get out of his stroller, climb the stairs, play with the lights on each step... You know just being a normal 18 month old boy. But I always said that I would never be the Mom that let my kid run all over the restaurant, theater, etc, and cry, scream or just be a nuisance to other people. I just pick him up and walk out. Notice how I say "I" pick him up and walk out not "my husband" leaves the theater. So needless to say we will not being doing that during "The Dark Knight" b/c I really want to enjoy all the performances in the movie, especially Heath Ledger's, Joker. I am always hoping that Eric's Mom will offer to babysit... that's another post-
OK- so next I am going to try to learn how to upload pictures to my blog-
