I think today could be classified as a "good" day though admittedly with a rocky start… Zander has come to the realization that if he says WAKE UP over and over and quite loudly that is exactly what Gavin will do – ready or not! So guess what the little bugger did this morning! Which of course lead to a VERY cranky Gavin… add to that an Emanuel who though I laid him back down at 6, really did not sleep until he demanded to be released tat 6:30 and a tired mommy… let the fun ensue…
For once I had to FORCE them out the door to go on our walk – they decided they wanted to sit in their corner and "read" the moment I said OK time to go out (no mommy I read the book). Which lead to yet another wrestling match to get our outdoor clothes on BUT once out the door back to our "good" day mood. We went to the dollar store downtown and picked up some animals, then on to a slurpee for mommy (of course) and finally a nice long walk around the lake to see the ducks, play in the grass and eat pretzels. It was about 11 cel this morning (already creeped to 19 this afternoon) and we need to take advantage of those last few nice days. Although I am really looking forward to winter and snow banks and the ease of just dressing the kids in their winter clothes and heading downstairs (or outside if we finally move) and let them run in the lawn for a shorter period of time until they are tuckered out!
I know Zander has a cold (runny nose) but I think Emanuel has a bit of a bug too – nasty diapers. Luckily no fevers or anything so we will just ride it out – lots of diapers and tissues. Fun fun fun.
So it is a long weekend coming up – the Daveys are having a birthday party for their youngest on Saturday and I want to get all of us to church on Sunday since next weekend is the little pre-Sunday School festival. Hard to believe our twins are ready for that! A part of me is concerned that we decided NOT to put them in preschool this year but we know our boys best right?
So life is basically same old today though this morning the boys were rather wild. Emanuel had a relatively decent nap and the twins are still asleep, with Emanuel a little off he is watching his Baby Einstein and I, well I am getting some sewing done. Only a little over 3 hours before mom comes to get the twins!
