OK I might post a little more than I anticipated because I am finding this fun right now. Today has been a busy day. I spend the morning with my mother at the Flower and Garden show - this is an annual event for us. Whole time I was walking around, I kept thinking that next year the Little Bug will be joining us and I am not sure he is going to go for 2 hours in the stroller with lots of of pretty, breakable things just out of his reach. I am sure he will enjoy the geese and the lake (he loves AUGUA!!!), but being cooped up with so many neat things near by might be a bit much.
I was amazed at how many goods were on display from Latin American- I think last year I counted one vendor, this year there were at least 5 vendors. The little bug is now the owner of Incan Pan Pipes and another noise maker (a drum on a stick with wooden balls that as you twist it bounces off the drum- I am sure someone will know the correct name). Any, his mam (grandma) bought that for him for on the airplane ride home - pray that you are not coming back on the plane with us. We did manage to buy some flowers and seeds for the garden- I will be working on putting them in tomorrow.
After the Flower show, we headed out to BabiesRUS to update my registry- the last time I registered was a year ago and pretty much everything I registered for at that time I either have or the little bug no longer needs thanks to the year long process. The real goal was an outfit for him to wear to the US embassy appointment- no luck at BRU. Their nice outfits stop at 12 months and anything bigger was all summer causal clothes. But I did find a car seat that I like. So the car seat a former co-worker gave me after her 4 year old outgrew it is going to my sister, she is the little bug's day care provider, and I will get the new car seat. Not that I expect anyone to buy the car seat for me, I am going to buy in mid May, it is just a reminder to me. Then the find of all finds- flannel crib sheets. I know you all are saying, "it's spring, almost summer" but I am thinking next winter. Apparently the little bug hates blankets, so flannel sheets, warm pjs and he should be set. We'll see.
After BRU, I was still on a mission to find the perfect embassy outfit, so we headed to K-Mart. I seldom shop at K-Mart but it was across the street, so we checked it out. And there on the clearance rack was the most perfect embassy outfit for a 22 month old little bug. I am so happy!!!! I am not going to describe it, but look for pictures after our embassy appointment. I am ready to go pick him now. I have the outfit, everything else is just filler for the time.
I have been working on organizing the house, 1 hour a night since I got out of PGN. I have 5 boxes of books to take to the library for their friends of the library sale, 2 boxes of household linens for Goodwill and I have not even started on the clothes closets yet. Somewhere along the line I turned into a pack rat. I like this cleaning thing, but I am hoping I can keep it from being needed again by not acquiring so much in the future.
Well, the thunder is rumbling outside and I need to call the little bug's foster mother, so I will sign off.
Love to you all,
Momma Bug

We're here! We're here! So glad you have put together a blog. We have one but I've not been able to figure out the privacy setting...if you do, please let me know. :)
Looking forward to reading all about Little Bug.

Sounds like you had a great day!!! What are you waiting on? Now that you have the outfit, go get that little bug of yours.
Ginger- if it were only that easy. The whole job thing comes into play. SO we wait and I keep cleaning up more rooms in the house that I should have had cleaned months ago. You would think that spending 215 days in PGN would have given me enought time to get everything in order.
Love to you,
Momma Bug
Hi Deb~
I had to giggle about your comment about little bug's dislike of blankets. It brought back memories of our first visit to GC. Not only did our little guy not like blankets, he didn't like wearing pants. We woke up that first morning together to find bebe's pants laying in one corner of the crib and him in the other. It was pretty funny. I think he will change his tune come winter in Wisconsin.....brrrrrrr! It seems that he is somewhat of a streaker - much happier without clothes. I'm hoping it's just a phase as that could present some problems when it's time for pre-school and my little boy is running around without clothes - ha ha!!
