Monday: Back to work for me and Fred is off for a week. I went to work, Fred played with the kids all day. I came home, watched a video with the the kids, ate dinner and then it was time to give the kids a bath, read some stories and off to bed! Whew, I am exhausted!
Tuesday: Today was Ryan's leader day at school. The leader gets to bring something for show and tell and he gets to bring a snack for the whole class. He decided to bring his harmonica to show and play for the class. I wasn't at class yet but Fred said that he played so well and that another student got up and danced. He said that the harmonica was special because he got it from his Dad. I arrived at 9:50 and helped him get ready for his swim lesson. The whole class swims on Tuesdays and I think that this is such a great experience for Ryan. Just this summer he was wrapped around my neck when we got into the pool and now with a bubble on he gets right into the water and kicks his legs. What a turn around. I got to see Ryan and Cooper swim and I videoed it so that Trish could see Cooper swim. Both of us work during the boys school time so we don't get to see them at school. I took a little time off work to go see him today since this week at my school is mid-terms and Regents exams and I am just proctoring. So anyway... I got to see them swim for a half an hour and then helped him and Coop get dressed and got them back to the classroom. They sang grace and then I got to help pass out the snack. They ate snack had some play time and then the school day was over. Ryan rode home with Papa and got McDonald's on the way home.
Wednesday: I got home from work and we made Valentine cookies with ReeRee! All heart shaped cookies. Ryan had fun making cookies, especially frosting them! He liked frosting so much I am not sure what got frosted better, the cookies or his tongue! He also had fun with the sprinkles, one cookie has sprinkles on top of sprinkles. I put Ryan's frosted cookies on a different plate than all the rest because I am positive the only one to eat his cookies will be himself. But he did try and that is all that really matters! Landon only cared about eating the cookies! We finally finished frosting the two double batches and got cleaned up around 10:30. ReeRee then went home in blizzard like conditions! Dang it is cold!
Thursday: When I got home from work, we got the kids dressed in their snowsuits and went outside and played. It was fun and Fred has started another igloo. Landon loved justing sitting in the snow and Ryan kept getting stuck and we had to go get him! It was cold but a good time!
Friday: We went to the library! Ryan got to play with the puzzles and look through loads of books! Landon had fun ripping the books off the shelf, fun for him not so for me. Ryan picked out books and then we left the library and went over to Nana and Papa's! We had a pizza party and played on the Wii. It was fun. I bowled a 201. Much better than I would bowl regularly! Landon fell asleep on the way home and that was a definite plus!
