Monday came again. Cecilia decided that since she was awake and it was light out that Gideon needed to be woken up. That wasn’t cool. The day wasn’t horrible though. We got our washer and dryer so we can do clothes in the house when we want again. We ended the day by getting second-hand patio furniture. It was a real rush affair in the sense that we got to U-Haul for a trailer to carry it in about 5 minutes before they closed. It wasn’t an impulse purchase as we had been looking at patio/deck furniture for a few days. We got to the place we were planning to buy from (unless something just wasn’t right) at the kids normal bedtime. Then we surprised them with a DQ visit that Grandpa showed up to. Paddington on the ride home left them very tired, to the point that Cecilia was asking to be home so she could go to bed. That finally happened around 9. No stories.
Tuesday morning the kids decided to play together outside in the backyard for the most part. I more or less caught up with emails from job sites while also getting some laundry done. The kids have really been up on the “Mommy and Daddy time” that we try to do lately. The problem of course is that we don’t have time to do it every day. Between getting the house in a livable state, job searching, and Heather working we run out of day fairly regularly. Add in the fact that we get tired more easily due to the thinner air still and it’s tough some days. After dinner Cecilia picked My Little Pony.
Gideon had me read him Caps For Sale and it looks like Heather read Walter the Baker.
Cecilia had Heather read her something before I came and read Little Critter Easter.
Wednesday I took the kids to a city event at a local park. It was free, so there were long lines for the inflatable’s. There was an appearance by a fire truck which shot a water cannon into the air and rained down lots of water on the gathered kids, but not Cecilia. Gideon picked a Monster Truck Cartoon while I attempted to mow the back yard, but was foiled by a rainstorm that just clipped us.
I read Cecilia Cuddly Princess Pals while Heather read Gideon Hotwheels Shark Attack. (Gideon started, but got tired of reading.)
I read Gideon Step Into Reading Level 1 Lego Master Builders while Heather got an encore of Shark Attack.
Thursday Cecilia picked Paw Patrol.
Friday Gideon picked Teen Titans Go.
Saturday Cecilia picked Paw Patrol.
Sunday we had promised a family bike ride. Gideon picked Teen Titans Go.
I read Gideon Trick or Treasure and then I read Cecilia Pink at the Zoo.
Side Note: Obviously I didn’t do a great job of keeping up on posts this week. That happens sometimes. If I can get it back-filled I do, but with the new time-delay post system I have in place that has become a very difficult proposition. I have increased my efforts to get actual content for each day, but there are a smattering of these “empty” days that will show up for the next month or three.
