Wednesday and Thursday

Wednesday: Hannah and I went to visit Momo and Papa. Hannah had a great time playing with the great yard sale find that Papa brought home. It's a Casio keyboard and Hannah just had a blast with it. We both napped for quiet time.

Thursday: I had planned for us to go to story time at the library today but Hannah wouldn't help us get out the door by getting ready when I asked her to get dressed and brush her teeth. Since we would have shown up late we didn't go. Hannah said she would try harder next time to help us get out the door. We did go to the book store so I could pick up the next book for book club. Hannah go to pick out an itty bitty, hot pink Christmas tree (approx. 10-12 inches tall and on sale for $4.89!) and a book to take home. Since we had a little tree for Hannah, we went to Wal-mart (it wasn't so bad) to get some little ornaments to put on it. I didn't like their limited selection but we found a couple of cute things. Since it was about lunch time and we were still on the south end of town, we met Brad for lunch. On the way home, we decided to make a quick stop at Target to see if they had better ornaments and picked up a couple for the big tree as well. We walked Petey through the park when we got home.

Monday and Tuesday

Monday: Hannah and I lounged for a bit in the morning then we took Petey out for a walk to the park. It was chilly but nice in the sunlight. Hannah rode her scooter and showed me some "tricks" where she glided along with one foot in the air. After lunch and quiet time, we turned some jar lids, plastic drink cups, and paper plates into holiday art with tempura paint.

Tuesday: Today was very similar to yesterday except that Brad came home for lunch. We finished painting our holiday projects with some glitter glue. We walked Petey before quiet time again and today Hannah got to choose the directions we took.

Wednesday through Friday

Since this blog's number one purpose evolved to let Brad know what his wife and child were up to each day he was away at work and since he will be home with us for the rest of the week and weekend, I will probably not post again until next Monday. I can guess that Wednesday we will clean the house, Thursday we will make food and eat food with family, and Friday we will visit with Momo and Papa who won't make it over on Thursday.

Have a great Thanksgiving Holiday! May the stuffing be with you.

Monday & Tuesday

Monday: We hung out at home and did some laundry and dishes. We watched too much TV until it was time to get Hannah ready for swim lessons. Brad said she did some head bobs where she actually got her whole head wet at least two times.

Tuesday: Hannah went to see Momo and Papa while I ran some errands and finished the holiday grocery shopping. (Safeway turkeys are only $6.77 if you make a $20 store purchase.) Hannah got to go with Papa to pick up Nathan. She always has so much fun with her grandparents and cousin.

Thursday & Friday

Thursday: We had a pajama day. Since we were up a little late the night before due to the concert, we slept in and lounged around. I did laundry and cleaned up a bit while Hannah played with all of her toys. In other words, she messed up right after my clean. She had a long late nap and we watched too much television. Then later after bath time, we went and picked up Brad from the airport.

Friday: Brad stayed home from work. He was worn out from his trip and didn't feel well. We tried to sleep in, but even though Hannah was up late from our trip to the airport, she was up nice and early. After breakfast, I took Hannah to soccer class while Brad rested. The rest of the day was normal with a lunch, quiet time, and cartoons for Hannah but with her dad around to make it more exciting.

Wednesday

Hannah and I were up early and off to see her dentist. Hannah's teeth are healthy and clean and her dentist was really pleased. From there, we stopped by to see Tamara who lives near by. We visited for a while then came home and took Petey for a walk. Hannah made quick friends at the park and played there for a few minutes. After lunch and quiet time, we went to see my parents and they fed us dinner. Hannah stayed with them and I went to see Tamara's son, Brenden, sing in the Washoe County Honor Choir. They were fantastic! We got home fairly late but Hannah didn't mind staying up.

Tuesday

We went to visit Momo and Papa for a bit today. We got to see Tamara who stopped by for some hem help from my mom. Papa fed us lunch (Thanks, Dad!) then we came home and took Petey on a 20-25 minute walk around the neighborhood with Hannah on her tricycle. After a short quiet time, Hannah watched some cartoons while I folded clothes.

Monday

We got up early today and took Brad to the airport for his trip to Vegas. On the way home, we stopped at Jelly Donut and picked up breakfast. Later in the morning, we drove out to the theater at Summit Mall and met the Moyles for a movie. We saw "Astro Boy" and had the theater to ourselves. Hannah liked the movie but I think she liked the popcorn better. She ate almost an entire small bag by herself. After the movie, we went next door to a place called Pace's Pizza Balls with Susanne and the kids and had a new, novel way to eat pizza. It's pizza inside a dough ball. Very good stuff. We came home for quiet time but I had dozed off as well and overslept so I decided Hannah could skip swim lessons for this evening. We called Brad before dinner to say "Hello" and let Hannah complain to him that I turned off the cartoons.

The week in review

This week flew by so fast, I didn't realize it was over yet.

Monday: We went to see the Moyles for a playdate. The kids had fun but Hannah was pretty wound up when we left. She had a late quiet time before going to swim lessons. She actually dunked her head! Hooray for Hannah.

Tuesday: Hannah went to visit Momo and Papa while I did the grocery shopping. It was nice to shop alone and Hannah had a great time hanging out with her grandparents.

Wednesday: Hannah and I had a pajama day and I took care of laundry while she watched too much television. It was windy and cold and neither one of us wanted to go outside.

Thursday: We went to story time at the library. We stopped at the fabric store on the way home to pick up some yarn. Hannah found some fuzzy stuff that she wouldn't let go of and I have no idea what to make with it, but we bought it anyway. After a short quiet time, Papa picked up Hannah to go with him to pick up Nathan from school and hang out for Nate's football exercises. Momo and I went to the Crochet Connection at the Spanish Springs Library.

Friday: The Moyles came over for a playdate. Lots of fun. Brad came home early from work also and that was a treat.

Thursday and Friday

Thursday: Hannah and I barely made it to the library in time to squeeze into the back of the room and see one of the ice skating princesses, Belle, read some stories. Then we returned our books and checked out new ones. We stopped at the playground across the street for a bit then went home for lunch and quiet time. After quiet time, we took Petey out for a little walk around the neighborhood.

Friday: I took Hannah to soccer class at Home Field Athletics then we went to lunch at the pizza buffet and then to buy new curtains for the living/dining room to replace those horrid, broken vertical blinds.
