On Monday, I kept both kids home with me all day. We spent the day playing at home, and then we did some school shopping with Grandma Barb. We got Emma a winter coat, and few warmer shirts for school. Elliott also got some new fall clothes. Both kids did pretty well on our outing, and we had a nice lunch at Burger King. We ended the day with some gymnastics for Emma, and overall a really good day.
Tuesday, Elliott went to daycare, and Emma and I had a mommy and Emma day. We ran a couple of errands, and then went and saw My Little Pony in the theatre. Emma really enjoyed it, and I survived, so I guess it went pretty well. Then we went home, and I tried to do some cleaning while the kids played and destroyed the house.
On Wednesday, I kept both kids home with me again and we went to Brookings to the Children's Museum with Grandma Barb. It was a pretty fun day. We left home around 10:00, and pretty much played at the museum for 5 hours straight, along with a lunch break. The kids had an absolute blast and played their little hearts out. They played really hard, and both kids slept the entire way home. It was a pretty successful day.
It was back to work and school for the rest of the week, which I think everyone was ok with. It's always nice to get back into a routine, and Emma loved going back to school again. I had a good couple days of work, and then it was back to the weekend again!
Yesterday was a pretty low-key day. We were pretty lazy and just lounged around and watched some TV most of the morning with the kids. It was a cold, rainy day, so it was easy to be lazy. Eventually, we went to Costco and then we went bed shopping for Elliott.
We decided it was finally time to get him a twin size bed, and he was pretty excited about it. He spent his first night in it last night, and really did pretty well. He got out of bed a couple times when he was trying to fall asleep, but after that he stayed put and slept there all night. He didn't even fall out of bed, so it was a success. And he got up and went potty all by himself first thing this morning, so that was great!! It was nice to turn his room into a little boy's room, and get rid of all the baby stuff. His room has a star wars theme going, and it's pretty cute.
We ate supper at Olive Garden with Dennis, Jenny, Emily, Andy, Malia, and Jim and Barb to celebrate Dennis' birthday. It was fun to get together with those guys and visit again. It has been quite a while!! We had some dessert back at Emily's house, and the kids had a blast playing with all the toys. It was a successful evening!!
Today we went to church, served the Bible Study treats, and I am home with the kids enjoying some Mickey Mouse Clubhouse. John is at a Voter's Meeting right now at church, which may take a while. Pretty soon we are going to have some lunch, and then we have a hayride to go to out at a church member's house, it should be a pretty fun time. Emma is super excited about it, and won't stop asking me about it.
Also, the Packers and Vikings play today. Skol Vikings!!!
