Monday I woke up before Cecilia. Being a school day I knew I needed to get ready and then spend time waking her up. We had our last two of us dinner since Heather’s flight was due in late at night. Cecilia picked Creative Galaxy for a night-time show. She hadn’t finished her bedtime snack when it was over, so she bargained for more time by giving up one story for a Fireman Sam. The remaining story was Splat the Cat On With the Show.

Tuesday Cecilia got to be woken up by Heather. The nice weather also meant playing outside for a bit after getting home. Cecilia wanted a bath pretty badly, she even shortened her show to a single Fireman Sam so she would have time after dinner. She had Heather read her Old McDonald Had a Farm while I got to read the next chapter in Blondie.

Wednesday continued the nice weather. When we all got home it was time for a family walk with Cecilia on her striding bike. She didn’t want to go in, and who can blame her. She decided to watch Creative Galaxy after dinner. Heather and I both read her a Fly Guy book.

Thursday wasn’t as nice as it was expected to be. Don’t take that wrong though, it was still a wonderful unseasonably warm day. We had pick-up day when everyone got home. After dinner we had a family walk for the fourth of five days this week. Oh, and it was Cecilia pushing for them. When it was show time today we went with Land Before Time. Yeah, there’s a TV series that was done for it. She had me read her a Fly Guy book again I can only assume Heather read her one as well.

Friday came and I brought Cecilia t the airport to pick up Gideon and Heather’s mom. We stopped at Sonic on the way back as per Gideon’s request. The kids got to play outside at a park before dinner, and after a late meal Gideon chose Fireman Sam.
Cecilia had Heather and Grandma read her Fly Guy book.
Gideon had Grandma and me read him Bedwetting and Accidents Aren’t Your Fault. We split it with me reading the first part and her reading the second.

Saturday. Heather’s birthday. Cecilia tried to go check on Grandma after seeing Heather wasn’t up instead of waking her up. It woke her up though. After a full but largely uneventful day we had dinner run late at a restaurant for Heather’s birthday. Home for cake and presents left us watching Fireman Sam by Cecilia’s request, but not getting stories.

Sunday the kids spent the morning getting new spring clothes. After a day of bike riding and playing outside later on we watched some Amazing Race as a family. We are still on the first episode. Gideon picked Postman Pat for a nighttime show.
Cecilia had Grandma read her a story from the Pinkalicious story book. She had me read her a Fly Guy book after much negotiation with Gideon.
Gideon had me read him a Fly Guy book, and Grandma read him a different one.
