Monday morning we went over to Jodi's and played in the morning. tova slept until almost 8am so she didn't need her first nap until 11, so we came home just before that. then trevor was off to school. Al worked Monday and Tuesday 3p-3a.
Tuesday morning we went over to jenny's house and played with kourtlyn and klare until 10 when tova was ready for her first nap. then home for play, lunch and school for trevor. tova came with me both Monday and Tuesday to pick up trevor so I had to try and work her naps around that. it was misting and foggy both days and just at freezing for temps so it was very slippery! the roads weren't too bad; the main ones were fine, our neighborhood roads were slippery but sanded well. the driveways and sidewalks were sheer ice; we had to pretend we were ice skating in our boots to not slip. Tuesday was bath night and tova was not happy that she couldn't stand in the tub. trevor shared one of his toys with her to make her stop crying; the first time he's willingly shared with her!
Wednesday we stayed home. after lunch, trevor went to school and Al had court (on his day off) for a bit at 2. then I went and picked up trevor and Easton and E came back to our house to play until his mom picked him up. two 4 year old boys are wild! :) then we had supper and trevor was super tired so we just watched a movie before an early bed time for both kids.
Thursday morning we went to the indoor sports center with Jodi, Easton, graham, and Carsyn. it was tova's first time since she's been mobile and she liked it. it took her a bit to warm up before she'd crawl around, but then she got going. she liked riding on the ride on toys. trevor had fun but wasn't very nice to 2 brother's that were trying to play with him and Easton so we had a long talk once home about being a good friend and if someone walks away from you, you don't chase them. then home for lunch with Al before trevor got on the bus, and then I went at 130 to volunteer in his class. it's so fun to see the kid's improvements from the beginning of the school year and how comfortable they are with the structure and routine of their classroom! they're so fun! I left when they went outside and went to the thrift store we love that's right across the highway. I found some toys, crafts and a hot wheels book for 98 cents a piece! then I picked up trevor. then home to spend time with Al and tova since it was Al's last day off before the 3 day work weekend.
Friday morning, after I laid tova down for nap, I brought the monitor down to Al while trevor and I went back to the library with Jodi, evrett, graham, and Carsyn. we found some more good books and a couple more we love (I really should have started regular library visits sooner!) then home for lunch, to see Al a bit before he left for work, and then at 230ish tova went down for nap and trevor went in for rest time. his rest times currently consist of a half hour of looking at books in bed and then about a half hour of playing quietly in his room; sometimes he does great with this, sometimes he asks every 10 minutes if he can come out yet. :) then Friday night the kids and I went over to matt & Jodi's for supper. we played and chatted, the kids played great, we fed the babies, then we all ate; it was delicious and so nice to be able to do this again (tova not needing a 3rd nap right at supper time.)
it got really cold starting this weekend so we didn't go anywhere or do anything outside. mom came down Saturday morning. once she was here, trevor and I bundled up nice and warm, and went outside to shovel the maybe inch of snow we got. then we played with nana, I got some things done around the house, trevor and nana made homemade pizza for lunch (Al was awake for it, too; he worked 3p-3a all weekend), and the kids had their nap/rest time. mom and I made some more irish cream too!! yum!
sunday morning was more of the same. mom left just before Al left for work and trevor said, "everyone's leaving us." but we had a good night, trevor helped me make supper, he played pretty well with tova, did some workbook stuff, and watched a movie.
