31 December 2012

1.  Bobby woke up at 9pm after going to bed at 8pm.  I thought it was going to be a really long night, so I headed to bed around 10:30pm.  Well, he slept all night until 6:30am! YAY! I felt so rested, and I even got to go back to bed until 8am.
2.  Scott and I went outside during Bobby's nap today and I had fun drawing tracks with sidewalk chalk.
3.  Scott wanted to watch Arthur today. I LOVE that show. I thought it was hilarious when I watched it as a kid, so it was fun to watch it again.
4.  Matt picked up dinner for us at Wendy's. I had chili and a side salad and it was yummy.
5.  Matt took the kids after dinner and I just sat on my laptop and played games and stuff. It was so nice to have a little time to myself. Gooooooo Matt!

30 December 2012

1.  I had a very relaxing day at home. I didn't shower till after the kids were in bed and I was in pajamas all day. Sometimes it's nice to have days like that.
2.  Scott, Matt and I played some games today. Sometimes it can get frustrating to play with Scott just because he's kind of young and easily distracted, but it was really fun with Matt there because we could laugh about it together instead of being irritated.
3.  Bobby has gotten so good about going to bed and down for naps. I ask him if it's time to lay down and he says, "Ah!" meaning yes, and then he waves, "Bah-bah" to me as I leave the room. So much nicer than him crying for several minutes before falling to sleep. I'm so glad he can enjoy sleeping more.
4.  Bobby has been really snuggly with me for the past couple of days because he's feeling crummy.  It's not a good thing that he's sick, but it is nice to feel loved and needed. He's a sweet boy and I love him.
5.  Scott is so cute with all of the things he needs at bedtime now. He has a big stuffed seal, Buzz, a monkey, his blanket, and now the boppy pillow, which is his "nest." He is so cute! I love him.

29 December 2012

1. Bobby has been waking up at 5:30am every morning, but today I got him to go back to sleep till past 7. Yay!
2. Scott used his Christmas money to buy a big stuffed seal at Ikea and he loves it!
3. I had a lot of alone time today. I took Matt's car in to get new brakes and sat in the waiting room while they did it. I colored, listened to Pride and Prejudice, ate popcorn and drank ginger ale. It was nice to have a little break from caretaking.
4. Bobby missed me so he just hugged me from dinner till bedtime, pretty much. It's nice to feel wanted!
5. Matt and I played games and watched a movie tonight. It was fun.

1. I got the trash out on time. And I got the laundry mostly done.
2. My kitchen sinks are empty! I think I've been caught up for three days in a row!
3. Scott and I played together a lot today.
4. Matt said dinner was really good. We used a seasoning on the chicken for the first time and I'm a big fan!
5. We got a recycling bin from the county a few days ago and I know it sounds geeky, but I have been having a lot of fun recycling!

27 December 2012

1. Scotty and I sang Happy Birthday on a video for Laura. It turned out really cute. It's fun to see Scott get older and more able to follow instructions.
2. We had a quick trip to the grocery store this morning and it went really well. The boys were very well behaved and got fruit packs for a snack instead of chocolate so I was feeling like mother of the year.
3. Scott and I played CandyLand today and it was funny to see him want to win and then get disappointed if I got ahead. He is getting how the game works and needs fewer reminders now to pick a card then move his piece. It was a good afternoon activity.
4. We listened to my new Disney compilation cd in the car and it was really fun to sing along. The boys seemed to enjoy it, too. Scott even clapped after a few songs.
5. Matt and I played WoW and watched Princess Bride after the kids went to bed. It was a fun night.

26 December 2012

1. I got to take a shower this morning before Matt left for work.
2. The boys played on their ride-ons outside on the hill for the first time this morning. It was fun to see their faces full of delight.
3. Scott played with color-changing cars a lot today, which was fun.
4. I had chocolate chip pancakes for dinner.
5. I had another ice cream cone. Yum!

25 December 2012

1. The boys were so fun to watch as they opened presents and played with new toys. Scott kept saying, "I'm so happy."
2. Matt got me a jewelry cabinet that I really like. I was actually really needing a place to put all of the jewelry I got at my party in November. It looks nice on the dresser.
3. When Scott choked on some water, he spoke through his coughing, "It went down the wrong pipe." Matt and I laughed so hard. He's so cute.
4. We had steak for dinner. So yummy! The kids ate it really well, too.
5. It was fun to have texts and calls from family throughout the day.
