Monday Gideon had a game that the coaches agreed to cut short. It was cold and rainy to the point the kids (the ones that showed up anyhow) were no longer having fun. That got us home early from the game for a fairly calm night. We also started an experiment letting the kids sleep a little longer in the  morning. Gideon picked The Land Before Time when we got home. He has gotten to the point of wanting to get shows going via the remote on his own instead of having us get them going.
I’m not sure what Heather read to Gideon after I read him more from the First Book of Space.
I am sure that Heather read Richard Scarry to Cecilia before I did the same because Cecilia told me.

Tuesday we went to the Huisinga’s for dinner. The kids got to play together and had fun. We watched Micky Mouse Clubhouse on the way home and didn’t get stories.

Wednesday we went to the wrong field for the game. Turns out they may get changed throughout the year and the website should be checked before each game to verify where it will be. the good news is that we ended up at the right field before the first pitch in spite of our blunder. There was no show after, but we did get ice cream to celebrate Gideon having a good run when he took his turn at first base getting three outs on hits close to him. (He got player of the game on Monday for a reason I missed.)
Gideon had a new library book from school the Heather read him as well as four new class books we went through.
I’m not sure what Heather read to Cecilia, she has about 20 books on her bed. I read her Arthur’s Baby which is the library book Gideon picked up.

Thursday Gideon wanted to join me and Cecilia at her gymnastics again. He made the decision when he found out I was bringing her so I guess I should be flattered. Mickey Mouse Clubhouse played on the way home again.
I read Cecilia Baby Dear from the Golden Book Collection. I’m not sure what Heather read her.
Gideon had us both read him Arthur’s Baby.

Friday was not a good day. We were called to get Gideon basically as soon as the school day started. He also wasn’t welcomed back to school until Tuesday. The Huisinga’s got to drop their kids off for a date night. Summer is definitely here and the kids were bouncing off the walls. Times like this we miss having the big yard from Elk River. Cecilia picked Team UmiZoomi for everyone to watch. After the show I brought the other kids to their house where I waited for my car to arrive so I could go home.
I’m not sure what Heather read to the kids.

Saturday Grandma and Grandpa Nelson surprised Gideon by showing up to his baseball game. We had a low-key afternoon before church and watched Amazing Race followed by Gideon picking Miles from Tomorrowland.
I read Gideon Arthur’s Baby again followed by reading Cecilia two of the Tonka Learn to Read books. I missed what Heather read to Gideon from the Richard Scarry Collection, but she didn’t read to Cecilia due to Cecilia’s actions which was a whole different level of problems for the night.

Sunday Cecilia had a gymnastics program we got to go see. It was about what you would expect from a preschool group. That is to say, cute, fun for the kids, enjoyable for the relatives, and not too long. After eating lunch out at Cecilia’s choice (“the place we went with Grandma Reed”) we watched some Amazing Race for dinner and wind-down. Cecilia picked Team Umizoomi for the night.
Cecilia had a rough night again but managed to get both of her stories. They were both from Richard Scarry’s stories again.
Gideon had me read him 500 hats. Incidentally I’ve been doing the weekly night-time routine posts for about a year, started partially to vent over how often I’d been reading 500 hats. Heather read to him from the same Dr Suess collection, but I’m not sure which story.
