Wait, what?! (Parents shenanigans)

My parents have been up to some pretty crazy shenanigans since LO was born.

I posted a long time ago "oh man- my parents and my baby shower" ...

well, at my baby shower, my dad stood up and said "I just want to say... my daughters and my wife ... sometimes they call me the 'a' word ... well, I'll say it, they call me anal" (Umm I have never called my dad that or heard my mother or sister do so) "but today is about spending time with friends and family, it's not about gifts" (okay, but it is a little bit) ... "so, my goal is for my daughter to get all the presents opened in ten minutes, and if she's not done in ten minutes she can finish later ... we are going to have her sister open the presents as fast as she can, she will look at them, and my wife will write down who got what" ... okay- there was NO WAY that I was going to let my SISTER tear through my baby shower presents!! So .. I just smiled and then my dad got distracted by the guys in his band and I took one hour oohing and ahhing over everything with DH while my sister took pictures.

Then, my parents came down the day after we brought LO home from the hospital and arrived at 3:30am. They had a six hour drive and were supposed to leave the next morning, but got really excited to come and left the night before. LO had JUST fallen asleep, but then it was the whole production of getting them settled in. Then, when they were here, they would ask me questions like "what would you like to eat" or "is there anything that we can do" ... but they would not do what I asked! They asked what they could do, and I said vaccum please ... and my dad said "i am looking at your house as if it were a huge classroom and you were a custodian - I would have you dry mop the whole thing with a huge dry mop, and then wet mop it ... the vaccum will raise too much dust in the air". Okay, but I'm not a custodian, I'm your daughter and this is my home. Then, they asked me "what do you want from biscutville?" and I said "a bacon, egg, and cheese biscuit" and they said "no, we already talked about it and we are just getting biscuits and making the eggs and bacon at home because dad doesn't think they do it right". Okay, then say "we are going to go get biscuits". Just stuff like that the whole week.

Now, someone just told me that my parents gave them a birth announcement. What?? I ordered birth announcements but they aren't here yet. Did they make their own? What???? Why?! Ahhh!!!

at least they really, really love LO- that is my mantra for the past couple months. They really do love her.
