Saturday we went "over the river & through the woods to Grandmother's house we go"- we sang the song lots along the way & saw a little bit of the snow from Friday on the way home. The only bummer of the day was didn't get to see Uncle Brian much- we got to Grandma's house right after he left for work. T is positive he's a big kid now- he looked right at home playing with all the toys. After a little playing, pottying, & leg stretching, we went to see Great Grandma. C gave her a sweet kiss & K & C both sang "Happy Birthday" before getting chocolate cupcake crumbs all over her room. Then we went to Brian's work & got to see him for a few minutes- long enough to ride the escalator up & down. Grandma made a very yummy lunch that we all enjoyed- the boys especially loved the ribs & banana pudding. T made his rounds around the room looking for any food he could find! The boys were also happy that Leon drove up to spend the day. After a big lunch, I snuck in a nap & the boys played- we all had a great afternoon.
Sunday we were super excited to have some friends go with us to church & then we all went on a walk on the nature trail by our house. T loved watching our friends' dogs run. K & C both pet the dogs and liked them from a distance. That was the closest C has stayed to me on a walk- I think to keep the stroller between him & the dogs.
Monday was another speech/ karate day. K has graduated from working on F and is now trying to work on slowing down to "talk like a turtle". When his speech teacher told him that, he told me "turtles don't talk" so we'll see how that works out! K loved his karate again- I think the sparring (wrestling) part has been his favorite- he was trying to get extra turns. C &T & I went to the playing spot for a while where T flirted with everyone & tried to see how far away he could go.
For our preschool this morning, we made dinner with what was left in our refrigerator. C helped make carrot pancakes & K made leftover oatmeal pancakes (I found another use for old-fashioned oatmeal.) Pancakes were a big hit- the boys asked if we could have pancakes every Monday. Now, I'm procrastinating finishing packing- you'd think I'd be finished by now with all the help I got. Reason 679 we miss James- loading the van!
