Comments are Back

Jason was missing the ones I'd get so they're back (starting now) for anyone interested.

Sorry I didn't get around to blogging yesterday. I was on the phone with a place about Easton's birthday party and then chatting with a girl from high school. We've reconnected via Facebook and I might be getting a little job with her but don't really want to talk about it yet.

Anyway, I realize I've got some days to catch you up on. Back to Tuesday, our snow day, after quiet time Easton wanted to play in the snow. He played by himself:


Well, I take that back, he played with his brother too:

That picture is also a link to a video of their "game" so you can click on it if you want to see the movie.

Yesterday (Wednesday) was one of my very lazy days. We didn't leave the house at all and I was just so blah and unmotivated to do much. Boy was I paying for it at the end of the day. Those two boys were so squirrelly. We were having discipline issues and they were driving me crazy with whining and crying and getting all over me and each other. I decided it was a good night for take out and even though the Old Chicago I called doesn't do curbside To Go orders the guy who answered the phone offered to come out to my car anyway. He must've sensed it in my voice or something. So with the boys in their p.j.s we went to pick up our dinner and I made sure to tip "Nick" the nice To Go man.

It's not like we didn't do anything at all, but we didn't do much. We did a small art project. Festive door hangers:




Dalton didn't do his at all. I made it:


Easton did his, though. I would just put hot glue the piece and hand it over. He even chose what to write on the sign:


In the afternoon poor Easton was trying to come up with stuff to do. He must've been so bored, the poor guy. He was like, "How 'bout we do Playdoh?" So they did:


Today I resolved to have a more active, less lazy day. It's Thursday but it wasn't a typical school day for E. Instead the entire preschool/pre-K classes showed up all at once for an hour to practice for their Christmas program. It was an hour and a half after school normally starts so first I took the boys to McD's for breakfast and playing to make up for not doing anything fun at all yesterday.

The Alabamaws sent the boys McDonald's gift cards inside their Thanksgiving cards(Thanks, Maws!) and so we brought those and a coupon for a juice and one for apple dippers and had our breakfast. As soon as we got into the play area Easton made a beeline for the sign. You know how he is with the "No" signs and wanted to check them all out:


Dalton sported the look that is oh-so-popular amongst the under-2 crowd:


And Easton impressed me with his improved dribbling skills. He's been able to dribble a bit in the past but somehow with age (not practice!) he's gotten even better:

He's nowhere near this girl, though.

I bet he might kick the pants off of her in a climbing competition, however:






And I was thrilled to see Dalton willing to slide again. He loved it as a wee person, then he's been scared of sliding for awhile lately. But he did it all on his own a bunch this morning:


After breakfast we headed over to E's school for practice. I dropped him off in the basement to line up then went up to sit with many of the other parents in the sanctuary. I found my neighbor (Ben's mom) and Diddles and I sat with her. Dalton was a bit of a rascal. Especially when I took my cell phone away after he figured out how to make an "emergency call". He was quite loud and I'm a little nervous for how he'll do tonight. I'll have to bring a bunch of stuff to keep him busy, but when we tried that with church awhile back he threw stuff at the people in front of us. He's a rascal and he knows it:


We came home for some lunch, Easton spread his strawberry cream cheese on his bagel all by himself he did great until he was climbing down from the counter and put his belly right into the cream cheese. Oops. Good thing he'll be changing into fancy clothes later.

It's time for Q.T. now, I might go snuggle Easton watching his shows and do a little reading of my own. Ta ta!
