Weekly summary of bedtime show/movie/stories with the kids.

TWB Ep4 – Schedule, what Schedule?

Posted on by

Monday you’ll need to check with Grandma and Grandpa Reed. It sounds like there was a story, and maybe even a movie.

Tuesday there was no show. No stories either. That was OK though. Instead we cheered grandma on as she finished her month long fitness challenge. Oh, and we were in a pop-up camper with no electricity.

Wednesday was another no show no story day. It was also another night in the pop-up.

Thursday we were at Great-Grandma’s house. Cousin Jocelyn didn’t want to choose so Gideon got to choose Jake & the Neverland Pirates.
We let Cecilia sleep in the same room as cousin. We told her if she didn’t try sleeping she would have to come to Mom and Dad. Rumor is we maybe should have brought her down.
Since Cecilia had her special event going on, Gideon got to watch a special him and dad show – How It’s Made. (One of his favorites.)

Friday we didn’t watch shows. We watched fireworks! The kids did amazing. Gideon had to go to the bathroom but held it until we got home. Both kids fell right back asleep when moved from the car to sleeping bags.

Saturday Cecilia didn’t get to watch a show. She went to a wedding shower instead. Gideon watched Caillou, some puppet singing show, and fell asleep during Thomas and Friends. (The puppet show was only 10 minutes or so long.)

Sunday Cecilia just wanted to keep on the Disney Junior show that was on. Since Little Einsteins was half over I let them also watch Henry Hugglemonster.

TWB Ep3 – T-Ball in Full Swing.

Posted on by

Monday Gideon picked Chuggington. They didn’t get to see the wait due to T-Ball.
Cecilia listened to Dad read “The City Mouse and the Country Mouse” after Mom read her “Colors.”
Gideon got to hear Mom first when she read “Pokey Little Puppy.” The next story he had was “How the Turtle Got It’s Shell.”

Tuesday Cecilia picked Jake & the Neverland Pirates.
Cecilia wanted Dad to read “The Boy and the Tigers” while mom got to read “There’s No Place Like Space.”
Gideon almost didn’t get two stories because of his actions towards Mom, but after Dad read Grinch he listened to Mom read “.”

Wednesday was T-ball and picking up the new laptop from UPS after. They watched Clifford puppy short movies in the car as their show.
Cecilia heard Dad read “Ho Ho Tucker” after Mom read “The Wonderful House.”
Gideon let dad read “Llama Llama Red Pajama” while he also looked at some star charts in his telescope manual before Mom read “There’s No Place Like Space.”

Thursday we had dinner at Gideon’s school because it was the last day of the VBS they join. For a show Cecilia picked Jake & the Neverland Pirates.
In the craziness of the night the books they had for bedtime have been lost to me. 🙁

Friday was a travel day. The stories and shows watched throughout the night are numerous.

Saturday was another travel day, but it ended at a destination. Gideon wanted Bob the Builder. It was late after a long day so they each got to pick one story and both listened to both of them.
Cecilia picked “Wizard of Oz” and asked Grandma to read. That didn’t last when we told her she would want to read it every night because it would take a whole week. Instead she picked “Over in the Meadow.” Gideon picked “If You Give a Pig a Pancake” for Dad to read.

You’ll have to ask Grandma and Grandpa about Sunday. Maybe I’ll find out and be able to fill in later.

This Weeks Bedtime (TWB) Ep 2

Monday Gideon picked Jake & the Neverland Pirates. Cecilia didn’t get to watch because, well, let’s just say she had a rough night.
Cecilia had Mom read Words. Dad had already spent a long time trying to calm he down by then and didn’t read her a story.
Gideon had Mom read 500 Hats and Dad read Grinch Stole Christmas.

Tuesday Cecilia picked Jake & the Neverland Pirates.
Cecilia had Mom read “” while Dad read “No Place Like Space.”
Gideon asked Dad to read Grinch, but was kidding. Dad ended up reading 500 Hats and Mom read Grinch.

Wednesday was T-Ball for Gideon. After that we had to run the van to the shop for work on Thursday. Due to this we had showtime and books decided by Dad.
For a show we had Meteor and the Mighty Monster Trucks while driving to the dealer. (About half of the DVD.)
For books we had “Clifford the Firehouse Dog” and “Santa duck” on the way home.

Thursday Mom’s softball game got rained out. We decided to have Mom do grocery shopping at bedtime instead. Gideon had some “issues,” not the get in trouble kind though. Dad decided to split the bedtime routine.
Cecilia got to watch Sophia the First followed by reading “The Sailor Dog.”
Gideon watched Sheriff Callie’s Wild West and then heard “Splat the Cat on With the Show.”
When Mom got home she read Cecilia “Words” and Gideon “Chicka Chicka Boom Boom.”

Friday we watched Turbo Dogs while hanging out at the Huisinga’s. Gideon and Cecilia watched part of Frozen on the way home. (They always call it “Disney Frozen.”) Mom gave that ride to them. Dad stayed behind and read A phonic’s Hello Kitty story to Lydia, Alladin to Lydia and Isiah, and a story about cows typing to Lydia.

Saturday Gideon picked Jake & the Neverland Pirates.
Cecilia wanted mom to read “How the Turtle Got It’s Shell.” Dad was asked to read “Under My Hood I Have A Hat.”
Gideon picked 500 Hats. Mom got to read “Double Play! Monkeying Around With Addition.” This is a book Gideon picked up from the library when his class went earlier in the week.

Sunday Cecilia picked Jake & the Neverland Pirates.
Cecilia asked Mom to read “Color Kittens” while Dad read “Weights & Measures.”
Gideon got 500 Hats from Dad and asked mom to read “The Lorax.” He told Dad Mom would be reading “How the Grinch Stole Christmas..”
