Can You Paint with all the Colors of the Wind?
Well, does anyone dislike daylight savings as much as I do? I have been groggy pretty much all day. But enough about that. How about we just jump right into the events of the week eh? Monday I worked on a grocery list and made cookies. In the evening my pa and I went to get groceries before dinner and the subsequent night of t.v. (Bachelor finale and 24)
Tuesday Aiden and I went for a brief visit to my grandma’s and because it was so nice he got to toddle around outside for a bit. He loves exploring and he loves to be outside. Later while Aiden was napping I spent most of the time on the computer looking at various shoe options. I didn’t really like what I was finding so when my dad got home I borrowed the car so that Aiden and I could go shoe shopping. We went to 4 stores and finally at the 4th store I decided to go with some sandals instead a ked type shoe because warm weather is on it’s way and I thought that they would be good in Florida. I was having a really hard time finding anything that I liked and kids his age should really have bare feet or next to nothing extremely flexible soles. Baby/kid shoes are way over priced! I also ordered some church shoes for Aiden from target.com because they were on clearance and were pretty cute. They came yesterday and he wore them to church for the first today. I will have to take some pictures of him wearing his new shoes and post them next week.
Wednesday is my big laundry day so I spent most of my day swapping laundry. In the evening Brandon and I watched Lost. It was a confusing episode with a lot of time changes and things.
Thursday I finally decided that there NEEDS to be a playgroup at least once a week for the sisters in the ward who have young children and sent out an e-mail to see what the interest level is. I think we have enough people interested but now I am not sure how to hash out all of the other details. I definitely want to have a different parent in charge each week and I want there to be circle time, free time and art time but that is about all I can figure out.
Friday I took Aiden to toddler storytime at the library. Let me just tell you, he doesn’t quite graps the concept of sitting, listening, and participating quite yet. I think he was just so excited to see all of the other kids and the new things to explore that he just had to get up and go, go, go! It was fun though and I think that we will start going every week so that he can have the opportunity to be out of the house and learn and experience new things. It was a good week to take Aiden because the theme was dinosaurs. I also found out the a misplaced library book had made it’s way back to the Davis County library systems main branch and that I would not end up paying for it after all. That was AWESOME news!
Friday evening Brandon and I got to go on a date. We went to see Bedtime Stories at the dollar theatre and it was a GREAT movie. I laughed alot and it was insanely clever. I like dates with my hubby.
Yesterday we had parent tot swim as usual only this week my mom came along to watch. We had her take some pictures and some video too. On our way home from swimming we stopped and got Baskin Robbin sundaes with our 2 for 1 coupon. YUM! When we got home we had omelets for lunch and by the time we had finished up with that it was Aiden’s nap time. While he napped Brandon and I went out in my dad’s backyard and started cleaning up garbage and racking the dirt that had accumulated on my dad’s back patio. We made a small dent but I had no idea the amount of work we’d actually need to do until I got back there. Oi. We spent the night in and had pizza while we watched the first 2 hours of Australia. It is a long movie (3 hours) but it didn’t feel that long. That plot moves quickly and has a little bit of everything in it to keep everyone interested. We plan to watch the rest of it today sometime.
Today I visit taught after church. It was actually quite fun to get to know the girls I visit and my companion. We had a good chat with both of them and each other. I better go lie down because I got really light headed during one of our visits and even though I have had some water and protein I am still light headed. Thank goodness we will eat dinner soon. Until next time, thanks for reading…
