The highlight of our New Year’s weekend was that John did not have to go to work on Friday or Monday. We were not happy this morning when John had to go to work. When Kevin got up this morning he said, “where’s Daddy?”. He was so upset when I told him daddy had gone to work. I told him to say “bye bye daddy” and he waved down the stairs at the door and with a pout said bye bye. Maybe that’s why he was grumpy all day today.
As for the weekend, we spent time at home and some time looking at a house we’re hoping to buy. Yikes! And exciting. We were all sound asleep by the time midnight rolled around, we’re pretty exciting aren’t we? Now I’m asking John what else we did…
Oh, yes, after John did some work from home we saw “The Muppet Movie” on Friday. We were going to go to a theater in one part of town but when we got to the ticket window they said they could only sell us one ticket. I asked John if I could just take Kevin but he said no. He didn’t want to hang out with Adam for two hours.
But we found another theater and there was hardly anyone there. Weird! John got some of his favorite new movie snack, nachos. Kevin and Adam pigged out on popcorn and soda. Kevin enjoyed most of the show, but Adam got kind of bored so he did a somersault down the stairs. I had to hurry and carry him out! The boys and I really enjoyed the music, but John slept through a lot of the movie so I’m not sure what he thought of it.
On Saturday after looking at the house we took the boys out to dinner at this really fancy restaurant called Chili’s. Yum yum!
Sunday morning we actually ate breakfast before church since it started at 11 instead of 9. Even though we always have sacrament meeting first, Kevin seemed really upset when we got there. He was adamant that he should go to nursery first thing. I had to walk around the hall with him and show him there was no one in the nursery room. I was finally able to calm him down by reading “Curious George”. We made it through the rest of the meeting without having to leave. John did take Adam out to try to get him to go to sleep. His normal nap is at 10 am but he did not go to sleep until we were driving home from church at 2:00. It’s about a 3 minute drive and he was out before we pulled out of the parking lot.
Overall, this weekend was just our speed. It was really nice to be all together for a few days but now we are back in the swing of things. Sort of. Now it’s almost midnight so it’s time to get to bed! Happy New Year everyone!
