Welcome to today’s link-up for Week in My Life 2013! The linky is below- just link to your post!
Today isn’t quite our typical Friday, but I got some great pictures and the day was extra fun.
On the way home he fell asleep. As I pulled in, I saw our cleaning lady was still at the house. She usually comes on Thursdays when I’m at the office so today. It’s the best money I spend all month. In fact, we don’t have cable and I don’t care if I can keep her. 🙂 I decided to drive to get gas and have the car washed. Ethan slept the whole time.
I came home and she was still there so I just came in and said hi. Ethan was on my shoulder and of course he woke up (that’s why I didn’t go in earlier). From there, he had a CRANK FEST. He laid on the landing of the stairs and asked for a snack but wouldn’t tell me what he wanted nor come with me to look in the pantry. After a while, I decided I’m plop him back in the car and drive to Starbucks so he could chill the EFF out. He of course screamed and cried the entire way there. You guys, he was demonic! He rarely gets like this but wake up abruptly from a nap and he’s insane.
Once he snapped out of it he was happy as a clam.
After we picked up Noah and they had a snack, we took Trajan our dog for a walk. He’s blind from diabetes (been blind a little over 2 years now) so taking him and two kids for a walk is no small feat. But he needed it and we had fun.
After that, I decided to meet the hubs at the gym. My goal is 4-5 times a week but lately it’s been 2 and occasionally 3. Since dinner was already cooked, the routine after the gym would be easy. I ran for about 20 minutes then we did weights. That’s me trying to look like I’m NOT taking a picture. LOL.
After dinner, we broke out a game I got at the Type A Parent Conference from Time to Play Magazine. It’s called Headbandz and you put a card on your band and one person or everyone tries to guess it. We played the game LOOSELY but man, did the kids have fun! I love seeing them get excited about getting answers right.
Tonight, I’m curled up on the couch with a glass of wine and my trusty Mac. Only 2 days left of the challenge! Can’t wait for tomorrow- we’re going to the NC State Fair!
I’ve enjoyed following your week. Well done on the gym selfies! I can quite imagine the difficulty trying to be discreet 😀 We have a Mr Men version of the headband game. You’ve inspired me to get it out and substitute the Mr Men cards with our own characters – thanks.
And thanks so much for creating the Week in My Life link up. It’s been harder work than I’d expected but much more rewarding too. I’ll be back next year.
Ah, yes. The preschool field trip. I didn’t realize right away that parents were expected to go, and then I went and figured it out. It is optional but encouraged at our boys’ preschool.
And I love the picture of you at the gym, trying to look like you’re not taking a picture. 🙂 Thank you for hosting this link up!
Love this! Oh, preschool field trips? Goodness. I’m glad that we dont have those. But, we do have assemblies instead – and on days that they aren’t in school. But, it works I suppose. Better than field trips for sure.
