Friday Adventures

Well - Thursday I chickened out and refused to go out because well it was - 12 and got colder as the day wore on. We didn't have to be out and that is just beyond cold and I saw no reason to drag the boys out in that (they are a good excuse on days like this, cause really it was true no need for them to be out, but if I didn't have to I was happy to stay home) To tell you how cold it was, Mike got out his parka - which he has never worn the whole time we've been here but he got it out and found his hat!


Our adventures today were good, so nice to have a good day all day. Noah needs nap, but he has not napped most days - we have the same routine, the same time we try to get him to nap - all the things "they" say you should have but he has not napped. By 330 on these days he has been crabby - so whiney and crabby! It has worn us all down. Anyway, today we dropped Mike off at work, headed to the grocery store (I wish I understood why it takes us almost 1 1/2 hours !) and then after unloading groceries headed to the Y. After that we met Mike at work for lunch with him at work, which was very yummy and a nice treat. After a trip to Target Noah fell asleep and then took an awesome nap! Oh it was lovely!

After picking Mike up from work and having dinner we decided to give in to Noah's request for the Y pool. Unfortunately after we got there, got Mike and the boys their ids and got everyone changed into swimgear the pool got closed because someone got a bloody nose in the pool. Thankfully whoever it was was okay, not hurt badly. That was devasting to Noah though, he was so looking forward to getting to swim tonight. Mike had him and said he was upset and kept saying "no pool closed, I want pool" but calmed down slowly as they got dressed again and heard that we could go and get some ice cream instead. So we stopped and got some ice cream on the way home. Josh didn't want the bites of ice cream, he was thrilled getting to share a drink with us all. Noah enjoyed chocolate shake and also tried a few times to drink both his drink and chocolate shake at the same time. Josh got to try the chocolate shake right before we left and didn't want to stop drinking it, so apparently it wasn't that he didn't like the ice cream he just wanted to drink his ice cream. It made for a fun night though despite the disappointment of not swimming.
