I don't know that there was anything we did except church and grocery shopping on Sunday, four loads of laundry and lunch at daddy's work on Saturday....but it just seemed like the weekend flew by.
Nick worked from 10-5 on Saturday, so the boys and I brought lunch to his office and all ate together...the only way the boys were going to see daddy more than a weekday. We enjoyed our time and were sorry to have to leave daddy at work. On the way home, there was a car accident causing a major traffic jam. A drive that typically takes 10 minutes took over twenty. By the time we got home, both boys had fallen asleep. It doesn't surprise me as it was nap time, but I had to carry each of them inside and lay them back down, trying not to wake them up. They both woke up...but they both went back to sleep, allowing me to start the first of four loads of laundry. After dinner, we gave the boys their bath and put them to bed. I spent the night getting up and down, not being able to sleep, and eventually started Sunday with two hours of sleep.
I decided to start going to Sunday School as well as church, and Pastor Daryl just started teaching a study on the book of Colossains. He has broken the sections of the book down so that we do a more in depth study of each group of passages. I am not very participatory (afraid of looking rather stupid), however, after listening to others give their answers, I did offer my point of view and found that I had the right answers or a valid point of view. (Surprised the stuffin' out of me!) I really look forward to going back. Although, it does make for a very long day for the boys. We leave the house at nine in the morning and don't get home until one in the afternoon. Then they need lunch (since they haven't eaten since 7:30) and lay down for a nap. The only problem is, they usually fall asleep in the car on the way home (at least Baby Nick does) and then their naps don't last as long....and since my nap time is determined by their nap time...I pray for a long nap for the boys on Sunday afternoons. Thankfully, I have a kind husband, and unless he is napping with us, he will let me sleep a little longer after the boys get up. But since we still had to do the grocery shopping, he couldn't let me sleep too long yesterday.
On the way home from church yesterday, my eyes fell on a pretty, but depressing sight. The taller mountains had snow on their peaks. Then, even more depressing, was this morning as I went to send something out in the mail....the windows on the cars were frosted over and the dew on the mailbox was frozen. This is just the beginning....and the end is so very far away.
Last Thursday, Joey stepped on something (I'm not sure what) that cut the bottom of his foot. He stood their crying and wouldn't come see me (and since I was in the middle of a diaper change I couldn't go to him) but when he did there was blood all over his socks. He actually asked for a band-aid, and for a kid who has been more afraid of the band-aid than the owie, he really surprised me. Since then, though, he has been tip-toeing around. Even after waking up from a nap or a full night sleep, he would start right off tip-toeing, not even needing to step on his foot to remember he had an owie. Finally, sometime yesterday afternoon, he stopped walking on the tops of his toes....but habits are hard to break, and every once in awhile, I will have to remind him not to tip-toe.
I don't know when he picked it up, but Joey has been "cheers"ing anybody with a glass. Anytime he has his cup when someone else has something to drink, he will come up to them and tap their glass with his and say, "Cheers!" It is really cute. But now Baby Nick has picked it up and he will tap glasses with someone else! I love watching the two of them "cheering" each other throughout dinner.
I can't think of anything else that needs telling right now. You already know what crazy weeks the next two are for Nick at work. I wonder if we will see him at all. The first choir practice is this Thursday (and if Nick doesn't make it home from Soldotna in time, I will have to bring both boys). Tina should be calling me this week to get together and figure some things out about the children's Christmas program. I really look forward to getting that started.
