Our Weekend

The cousins are in town.  

We enjoyed a fun Saturday morning of Slip n' Slide fun with them.

Yesterday was an interesting Sunday with unexpected twists and turns.

I missed the morning service because I walked by the nursery and saw my son, miserable and crying, a result of his too-early wake time.  

I couldn't ignore him in that condition, so I tried to rock him and let him rest.

Of course, this resulted in the same thing that happened a couple of weeks ago.

A 15-minute cat nap in Mommy's arms made it hard to go down for a nap at the normal time when we got home, which made him finally collapse later in the afternoon.

I forgot to press "Start" on my crock pot Sunday morning.

This resulted in a cold roast when we came home from church.

There were redeeming qualities to the day, though.

I played Rummikub and Uno with Ella.

She likes games, and she's good at them, too.

James' late nap gave me some time to spend with a neighbor,

who I've wanted to spend time with for awhile.

By the end of the day, I was too tired for multitasking.

I simply watched a movie on the couch with my husband.

It was nice.

Now we're off to a new week of school and me trying to figure out what to do with my early-waking boy.  Back to two naps (like we did on Saturday)?  I'm not sure, but I don't like being unsure.  It makes it hard to plan outings.  We've got cousins to visit.
