A Boy Named Conan

You guessed it.... Another Day of nothing productive.

           We woke up late again.  We plan on doing nothing but swimming, playing games, and all those relaxing things.  We laid there cuddling in bed for around an hour or so, after waking up. Then we got up to join Ashley for some of the Tea and cookies. On this hot day, we opted for some cold, Iced Tea. We took our glasses of iced tea out to the backyard. Where we just casually sipped on our tea, and chatted a bit.  We did that for at least 45 minutes.  Then we decided to get our swimsuits on.  I make sure I lotion up, and I make sure Conan does too, because I care about him.  I don't want him to get skin cancer or even a sunburn.  He gets it on all the areas he can reach.  I put it on his back.  And I ask him to do the same to me.  So he does.  "Thank you very much!  Now let's go get the lotion on our babies.  So they can safely be outside with us.  And maybe even go swimming with us."  I say.  "Yeah!  Let's do it!"  Conan agrees.  So he lotions up Luna, And I lotion up Conan Jr. it takes about 10 minutes, to lotion them up. And now, we are ready to go back outside, and sit and relax. We give the babies hats, and back outside we go! "Oh shoot. I just realized, I forgot to put lotion on before I came outside when we came out for Tea!" I say, getting anxiety. "Babe, it's okay. You're fine. The place we were, we weren't in the sun at all! We were completely covered." Conan says, calming me down. It eases my anxiety immediately. "You're right, good point. And it's better to put it on late than never." I say. "Exactly, that's right. It will be okay." Conan says in a soothing tone of voice. It's very comforting. He pulls me in, hugs me, and gives me a sweet kiss on my forehead. So, we get into the pool, and we walk for a bit, in the pool. Since we had the babies in our arms. Then we got on a raft with the babies. They had their cute little sun hats on, and were enjoying the sun! So were Conan and I. After a while of relaxing in the pool, we got hungry. And it's probably about time to feed the babies. "Do you want to have lunch?" I ask Conan. "Sure! Let's have lunch! How about hamburgers and Potato Salad? We have the stuff for potato Salad." Conan suggests. "Sounds like a great lunch! And I'll prepare a bottle for the babies."  I say. "That sounds like a plan!" Conan says. "Haha, yeah.  There's nothing else they CAN eat right now."  Conan says. So I make the babies bottles, And Conan gets the potatoes boiling. He puts the lid over the pot, so the water boils faster. Then we have to let the potatoes sit in boiling water for 10 minutes. Hamburgers don't take that long, so we wait for the potatoes to be all done cooking. I take the potatoes out, carefully, and rinse them in cold water, to help cool them down faster. Once they're cool enough, I ask Conan "Do you want me to leave the skin on, or peel the skin off?" "Leave it on. That'll be good!" Conan says, as he puts the hamburgers on the grill. He comes back in the house, in the kitchen, to come make the Potato Salad. I cut the potatoes, and he cuts the ingredients. Such as celery, Onion, finely chopped, and chives. By then, I am done dicing the potatoes. So I ask if he needs me to do anything else. "Sure! Could you please chop the pickles? Make sure they're finely chopped, just like the onions." Conan requests. "Okay, I can do that!" I say, and get the pickles out of the jar and get chopping. Then I also cut the green onion. Conan goes to check on the hamburgers, and I combine all of the ingredients. Potatoes, A tablespoon Of Mustard, 1 1/2 cups of miracle Whip, salt, Dill pickles, celery, Green Onion, regular onion, and everything else needed. I stir it up with a spoon really good. Conan comes back in, after flipping the burgers, and I ask "is this good?" I ask. "It's perfect! Thanks for your help!" Conan says, kissing me, in his cooking apron. I smile. "You're welcome. And I thought the chef is supposed to RECEIVE kisses. Not give them, but thank you for the kiss." I say, smiling through puckered lips as I go to kiss him back. "Well thank you love! I appreciate the kiss back! And I appreciate your help. By the way, there's no rule that the chef can't give kisses. The rule is the chef must ALWAYS be kissed. While it's not a rule for chefs to kiss people, they can. There's no rule against it. It's a bonus kiss." Conan says. So, then he cuts some Tomatoes, and more onions, not diced this Time. He cut them into rings. As well as dill pickle spears and round dill pickles. And other things for hamburger toppings. He goes to check on the hamburgers again, and they are perfect. Not burnt or anything. Not overcooked at all. So he takes them off the grill. He set them on a plate and put that on the table on Ashley's patio. And I brought out the big glass bowl out onto the patio, that has the potato salad. Then we set out the plates with the different hamburger condiments, and ketchup and mustard. We're all ready to feast, together! It's so exciting! A family meal! Usually the babies eat when they're hungry, about a half hour before dinner for Conan and I. And Also usually I give them bottles of my breast milk. This time they haven't eaten this morning, but I think they must not have been hungry, because they usually cry when they're hungry. But they also might be like I was before. Some days, I would be hungry, and not cry. So I'd be so hungry for hours, cause I wouldn't cry for food. Or maybe they just don't have an appetite today. I sometimes have days like that. They seem to be eating and enjoying their milk though. If they're full they won't drink at all. Or they will, but they'll spit it all out. I took a few bites of my delicious hamburger that my wonderful, handsome fiancé made! And then a couple bites of the potato salad, and that was incredible! Then I fed the kids a couple more bites. Then I'd take more bites of my food, etc. until all of us were done eating. "That was great lunch! I thoroughly enjoyed this!" I say.  "Me too, babe!  I'm glad you enjoyed it!  I put all of my love into it!"  Conan says, smooching me.  "Awww, I Know you did!  I could taste the love!"  I say, lovingly.  "Well that means a lot!  It means I did well!"  Conan says.  "Yes you absolutely did!  You did amazing, sweetie!"  I say.  Kissing him softly.  He smiles in an adorable way.  Kinda like his side lips are out, across his cheeks, and his middle lips are puckered a little bit.  "I love that little smile of yours.  It's so adorable."  I say.  And then I grab his cheeks, and I mimic his smile, and pull his face in to kiss him.  Then he decided to Eskimo kiss.  Which made me snicker a little bit. "I adore you and your little giggle." Conan says. "Well keep giving me Eskimo kisses and you'll keep hearing it. Because I love the way it feels to have our noses slightly rub against each other." I say. "Okay, noted. I will give Eskimo Kisses more often, Just so I can hear that giggle of yours. I love all 10 of your laughs though." Conan says, smiling. "Thank you! I find it hilarious how I have many laughs. It's not just 1 or 2, or even 5. There's always more." I say.  "Haha, yeah.  I love them all a lot!  They're my top 10 favorite laughs!  The giggle being my number 1 favorite."  Conan says, smiling just thinking about my laughs.  "Your laughs are my favorite!  You don't have as many laughs as me.  You have that cute giggle, and then you have that laugh that's a little louder and harder, it kinda sounds like the laughter rolls out of your mouth.  Then you have your dolphin laugh.  So your laughs are in my top 3 favorite laughs!"  I say, smiling.  "I'm glad you love all my laughs too!"  Conan says, smiling.  "Well how could I not?"  I ask.  "I don't know.  There's also no way I wouldn't adore all your laughs as well."  Conan says.  "Well there you go.  There's no reason for me to not love your laughs.  I've made AND PROVEN my point."  I say.  "Yes you sure did!"   Conan says.  We continue to go about our day.  We decided to  go inside about 20 minutes later.  We didn't want the babies to be in the sun for too long.  Even with hats and lotion on.  And we can't leave the babies unattended.  And honestly neither of us could figure out what to do in her yard.  So we all went inside together.  We decided to watch TV and play Card games.  We had a great time.  We played some music as well, on a speaker, just on a quiet volume.  It was very relaxing. We did that and had a delicious spaghetti dinner, with Chicken mixed into it. In place of Hamburger meat. It was indescribably good! You'd have to try it for yourself! We marinated the chicken in a tomato basil purée, along with some Italian seasoning, and a little tiny bit of garlic. That way it could be flavorful chicken. We watched some Tv and laughed and talked as we enjoyed our food. We also had 3 Cheese breadsticks to pair it with. YUMMY!
A few hours later, it was bed time. We went to bed early this time. Around 9:30. We tucked the babies in their cribs at 8:15. We enjoyed a nice quiet evening. Conan and I cuddled up in bed for the rest of the night. We talked about our day, it was really nice.
