Sometimes I wished we lived somewhere warm year round, but then we’d miss out on pumpkin patches, apple picking, leaves, etc. Over the weekend we went to the Zoo and then had a leaf party at Becky’s house.
The Zoo was so nice. It was the perfect weather. We didn’t get too see much, but Elijah saw what he wanted to – bugs and ride the train. Um, it’s unreal what they have there, so if you have the chance to see the insects as the Zoo, you should go if you can. As for Athena, she nearly slept the whole time in the backpack carrier.
What might have been better than the Zoo was just lounging around Art Hill while the kids played in the grass and dirt. I ALWAYS have a bulldozer in my purse for such occasions to occupy Elijah. He could play for hours this way.
Athena on the other hand, I don’t need to bring anything for her except a pacifier just to keep her from putting EVERYTHING in her mouth.
It was such a nice day. To top off the evening, we got to play in the leaves!
Since we don’t have leaves anywhere near our house (and probably won’t for the next 15 years) it was so fun for my sweet kids to jump in Becky’s!
They got the best baths of their lives when we got home, especially when the kids had the bright idea of throwing the pile on our heads. I’m sure Jon back there had something to do with it!!
oh my goodness, can you tell that they are related!?
Aside from all the good times during the day…at night has been a struggle…..Struggle, with a capital “S”. Athena is going through something, not sure what. But she will wake up around midnight to 2 am and wont go back to sleep sometimes until 6 am. I changed her formula thinking her belly hurt her. But I am beginning to think she has separation issues. I can’t even make dinner without her wanting to be held, even if she is at my feet! I hope she gets over it soon because while she’s snoozing until 9:30 Elijah is ready for pancakes at 7:00.
Luckily tomorrow is my “day off”. They both go to a local church for a mother’s day out program on Thursdays (Elijah goes Tuesdays and Thursdays). So I am relieved to have some precious me time from 9-12.
I’m off to sleep before Athena wakes up for her weird nightly snuggle/play time. Cross your fingers that it doesn’t happen tonight!
