Break's Over

So the lovely 4 day stretch with Jason home is now over and all 3 of us are having to get used to it all again. Blah. Easton was moody this morning and asked for J a bit. Blitz was crazy and woke Easton up--not helping his mood. It is always nice to have him around (Jason, not Blitz). I think J's missing us too. How could he not? :)

Easton took another insanely long 3 hour nap yesterday so Jason watched large amounts of football while I worked on a holiday "project". But, E's still in his Mr. Cranky Pants phase when he wakes from naps. It can get rough for about a half an hour.

Yesterday's nap was without a shirt. Some days its the pants...some days its the shirt. He ended up being shirtless all day. Anyway, back to him being a little rough around the edges after naps. Don't know why that is, it's relatively new. In the mornings he's usually good to go. Except yesterday...he woke up and I went to get him (he wasn't calling for me yet, though) and I peeked my head in at him and he politely told me "No" and shook his head. Okay, that's fine. I went to grab some milk, hit the potty, that sort of thing...tried again. Again he told me no (but nicely). So, I went to hang out with Jason on the bed and eventually J got up to get E and Easton let him. I'm fine with that, though. Oy, it's the naps that are getting to me. I might have to just leave him in there for a few so he can finish waking up fully or something. Whatever it takes to get the crankies out of his li'l system.

I made some baked potato soup yesterday for dinner. It was good but my oh my...not sure it's worth all the effort. Then, Jason had a craving for chocolate chip cookies. So I made some of those. Yum.

Here's just a couple of shots of E playing last night. He loves to wear J's hats and it's too cute to me how he puts them on himself. He prefers backwards a lot of the time:

Here he is telling me what a pig says:


Oh, and here is a part of the bedtime routine every night:

After picking up the toys he runs back to the rug to do a somersault or two. Then we head upstairs. We're a strange bunch.

Today we went down to visit Gramoo at her school and to bring her some of our baked potato soup. She and Auntie Lauren can enjoy it for dinner sometime this week.

Easton liked all the toys "Guh bah" got out for him. She even had him tell the kids "Go!" to get their game started. He liked that. He was still telling me about it before his nap. Anyway, here he is in her equipment room:

See that Easton brand bat on the floor?:

He didn't want to pose with it. There was too much else to explore.

This afternoon we're going to Wal-Mart...sweet and sour meatballs for dinner tonight. And tomorrow it's back to Gymsters and swimming and such after the week off for Thanksgiving. We didn't get out to the mall over the weekend to get ornaments but oh well. Next weekend I hope. Instead I'll share some festive pictures from last year for you real quick. Someone on a message board I'm on was wanting to see everyone's pictures from last year so since they're in my account I'll share with you too. Just to get you in a holiday mood. How nice of me. :)
