Wow, I have gotten a little bit behind. My excuse goes something like this...
Marcel gets home between 6:30-7pm each night and most of the time Snoh & I have yet to eat dinner, there isn't much time for a lot of fun and games before Snoh's bedtime. Then Marcel and I watch some tv, usually West Wing, which I love but seems to make me very sleepy. On second thought, it may not be the show that put me to sleep, but the actually having 5 minutes to sit nice and still on the couch to relax some.
Tuesday--Snoh went with Brother to work and LOVED it. When he got home, the first thing he told me was "man, I'm poofed." I didn't tell him that I thought it was "pooped"
Wednesday--Snoh & Lilli had a great hour with Wende Lady while I had a doctor appointment. I was planning on taking them by myself but when I found out I might have had to have lab work done, I called in back-up. Plus, they loved her being in charge. I never would have given them candy at 10:30am. That night Snoh & I went to the God & Country Festival, which I had never been to before. Marcel had been there since about 9am helping with all the set-up, sound checks and whatever else has to happen before at least 3 bands can put on a concert. Snoh was excited to go all day, but it didn't really hold his interest much. I wanted to leave early after realizing that but Snoh heard there were going to be fireworks and didn't want to leave. The last band,
The Afters, sang part of
I've Gotta Feeling, which I'd say is Snoh's favorite song so that made his night. But about 10:30pm he fell asleep and even with 3 or 4 hard attempts at waking him up, he missed the whole fireworks show.
Thursday--Even with being up until 10:30 (and then awake enough to walk to the car which took about 30 minutes) he was still up before 7:30, which shocked me. We went about our normal day, which included him being very upset at me because he couldn't use electronics. We ended up playing soccer & tag in the backyard for a few minutes before I heard the neighbor boys next door. We went to see them and Snoh was beyond excited to have made friends. One of the little boys and Snoh decided that they already knew each other because they went to preschool together. Where do they come up with this stuff? He came home to eat dinner (pancakes, finally!) but I'm not sure his bottom even touched the chair and then played some more!
Friday--Marcel had already promised Snoh this would be the day he could go back to the club, and lucky for me Lilli was out of town so I had an entire kid-free day! I slept in until about 8:30 (oh, how I remember the good ol' days when that was getting up early), enjoyed some tv shows I wanted to watch, took a nap, stayed on the couch all day curled under a blanket, played on the computer a bit, and didn't do a single productive thing. IT WAS WONDERFUL!!
I'll try to be better next week about taking pictures and posting, but again I make no promises :)
