ole schnikees: 2015

another week of beautiful weather, with a little rain mixed in. we got outside once, if not twice each day. Thursday morning was gorgeous with sun, blue skies and 50 degrees, until the wind picked up and blew in the rain clouds. we also played lots over at the neighb's house with the daycare kids.

Al had Saturday and sunday off this week so Saturday morning we drove up to mom's house for Christmas cookie making day. maren and tula rae joined us, too! we made lots of cookies and all were exhausted by night time. then sunday at 1230 we had brown Christmas (my dad's extended side of the family) in woodbury. there were lots of people there! and trevor was the shyist I've ever seen him but warmed up and was running around after a bit. we had yummy soup and lots of cookies! we left about2 so trevor could nap on our way home to ec. once we got home, the packer game was on and we were supposed to go to the neighb's to watch, but trevor was still sleeping. so much so that I put him in his crib and he was out. I eventually had to wake him up at 430, both so he would still go to bed and so we could go to the neighb's house for the second half.

Monday we woke up to tons of rain and puddles, which after a couple hours changed over to snow!!!! it was heavy, wet, slushy snow, but still pretty and white! hopefully we'll have a white Christmas. Monday starts Al's 2 weeks of weird shifts, including lots of overnights. :( he hasn't done an overnight in like 2.5 years.... not looking forward to it especially next week with Christmas...

trevor's schedule:

-wake up about 7 am, I usually get him out of bed about 730
-watch curious George with momma and while momma makes breakfast (sometimes he'll come help me with breakfast on his step stool)
-breakfast at 8, he's usually in his high chair until 830 or later eating, while I eat, clean up kitchen, do dishes
-play time with music on (Christmas music lately) and try to get a to do list item done until dada gets up (9ish), sometimes we'll go over and play at the neighb's house.
-dada gets up, and Trevor helps him make his breakfast. then sits at the table while dada eats and eats some of dada's breakfast (snack)
-watch price is right/play in living room, or run errands, or play outside weather permitting
-1130 start lunch, T helps or plays with whichever parent is not making lunch, starts eating between 1145-12 (again takes him half an hour or so to eat even some of his meal)
-read books about 1215-1230 then down for nap, usually dada puts him down after some snuggling and singing in his dark room
-momma & dada watch a show together during nap time, Al leaves for work at 2, I workout at 2
-T wakes up somewhere between 3 & 4, usually closer to 3.
-small snack if I can remember
-play outside weather permitting, sometimes we'll go over to neighb's and play, to do list items, craft
-start supper about 445 to eat between 5 & 530 although i'm thinking of pushing this back later (we were doing 5 when Al was working at 7 so he could eat with us before work, but he works at 3 now)
-after supper, while T is still in high chair eating (he's not great at it and still throws stuff on the ground while saying "na no") I do dishes or put away dishes from morning
-play time, we try to do some running or jumping inside
-we watch wheel of fortune at 630, will often do coloring, painting or a craft in here too.
-bath at 715 if bath night, pjs on, small snack/milk/water, brush teeth, read books,
-bedtime somewhere between 745 & 8 depending on when he woke up from nap, with some snuggling and singing while standing up in his dark room. he still sleeps in a sleep sack and sleeps with at least 4 blankets, usually sleeps on top of the blankets or hugging them. has a small toddler pillow now too that sometimes gets thrown out of the crib.
