On this day (yesterday, monday the 23rd) I woke up to my alarm and decided to let Jackson sleep in a little. Instead of giving him the 5-minute-wake-up-warning I jumped in the shower. When I got out and went to proceed with the school morning as usual I again decided to let him sleep a little longer. This time it was probably going to mean being late to school but one time wouldn't hurt anything... At 8:45 I finally went into Jackson's room to wake him, this time I did, and then I asked him if he would rather go to school or stay home with me and Soph. He gave me a look like 'do you even know me?' and grogily said "stay home...can I watch a cartoon?" (As it dawned on him that it was a free day) Soph woke up just then, she must have sensed us talkign about toons. The rest of our day went like this:
Cartoons and cinnamon rolls in moms room for the kids
Mom has a chance to get ready in her bathroom, relatively peacfully
A trip to Krumpets just cause with 2 perfectly well behaved kids (seriously)
McD's for lunch, nuggets and hot chocolate (it was a rainy day and we loved it)
Meet Jay, Chloe and Claire at Costcos again just cause, we love Costcos
Home for Sophia's nap with a friend in tow for Jacks (Chloe)
Coloring, painting, Legos and gumballs for the buddies
A haircut for Jackson (w/a well rested girl)
Dinner and a movie in the living room:)
Baths, Books and Bed time
Love it
Ummm I think you forgot to mention that CLaire was off to get 4 SHOTS while the buddies were happily playing. Poor girl.
