Dave is silly

Things have been very busy around here, and I'm making some time to ramble, I guess. We move in less than 10 days, and I have been packing packing packing, and painting the apartment back to white, and arranging things for the moving day, and calling everywhere to change our mailing address...and the list goes on. Today I'm taking a break from "the move" and getting ready for our weekend trip to Kitchener. My friend, Grace, is getting married this weekend, and I'm a bridesmaid. We are all very excited for the wedding, and today I'm packing for that, and printing off directions, and painting my toe nails, and picking up some last minute things. Road trip...wooo hoooo...can't wait! Some quality time with friends and family is a welcome break in the moving process right now.

Speaking of quality time, Dave and I celebrated our 3rd anniversary last week. We dropped Jesse off at a friends and went to a nice little Italian place that served gluten free. I had glutenous pasta loaded with shrimp and clams and scallops...mmmm...my favorite. Dave doesn't eat seafood, and we usually have rice pasta. So, this was a real treat. I got Dave this funny card that played the song "You'll be in my heart.." by Elton John when you open it. That might not be the name of the song, but the chorus goes "You'll be in my heart. Yes you'll be in my heart. From this day on, now and forevermore..." Anyways, it's a pretty cheesy song, and he opened it in this fancy quiet restaurant and as it blared out over the calm dinner music, he got a little bit embarrassed. He closed it and said, "I'll..ahh.. Listen to the rest of the song later." Ha Ha Ha.

Dave has also been doing this strange thing in his sleep lately. You see, I tend to sleep on my side. But, I usually wake up every few hours during the night, and sit up, then switch to my other side. Last night, at around 3am when I sat up to have my little stretch before switching sides, Dave BOLTED straight up in bed and dove for me, wrapping his arms around my shoulders, and pulled me close to him, and wouldn't let go. I thought he was going to squeeze me to death. I tried to tell him to let go, and push him away, but he just held on tighter and tighter like I was in danger. I literally had to use my whole body to pin him onto his back, then pry his arms off me while yelling at him to let go and go back to sleep. I was scared to move for the rest of the night. He has no recollection of this , this morning, but he believes me. He actually did this same thing twice a few weeks ago, and remembers it. He says he thought I was falling off the bed, and he was trying to save me?!? He woke up screaming last time, and scared the CRAP out of me, and I started screaming. Oh the adventures. I just love him. Every year gets better.

I was listening to him play with Jesse the other day. He was playing with Jesse's toes, and perhaps forgot some words. This is what I heard, "This little piggy went to the market. This little piggy went to Bayshore. This little piggy went to the rideau center, and this little piggy went to the movies. And this little piggy went, weee weee weee all the way to bulk barn." Jesse loved it. Dave can CRACK UP Jesse. Last night Dave was pretending to sneeze, and Jesse almost had tears he laughed so hard and so loud for so long. I can't get Jesse into hysterical fits of laughter like Dave. Just a chuckle here or there.

Well, I hope everyone enjoys the long weekend! Dave has the day off tomorrow, too, and I'm just SO tickled. Thanks for reading! I'm off.
