ole schnikees: 2018

Wednesday morning we walked over to Jodi's and played until lunch time. then during naptime, i ran to the grocery store, set up trevor's pool, planted the rest of the garden beds, and mowed the edges of the yard. once trevor was up, we all went outside while he swam and played for a long time. i even got some garage sale stuff priced out in the porch while tova was napping. Al worked that night so we just hung out at home. that night tova woke up twice instead of her once because she got her hands/arms out of her swaddle.

Thursday morning we stayed at home/in so i could pack and get some things done before we headed up to superior shores for the weekend. i tried to put tova down for her first nap without her arms swaddled but the rest of her still in the swaddle (she usually falls asleep best for the first nap). it did not go so well; it took her almost an hour to fall asleep even after i put her arms back in. tova and i had a chiro appointment at 2 pm and then she fell asleep on the drive home and took a good nap in her crib. Trevor fell asleep right away so we got him up once i was home and he and i went outside to swim in his pool for a bit. but he was a BEAR so he had toys taken away, a time out and then i couldn't take it anymore so we came in where he proceeded to yell and pout so he spent a while in his room. then eventually the switch flipped and he was good and Al was able to give him a shower before he left for work. we had a good night after that which included supper, ball throwing/catching, and a bath for tova before bed.

Friday morning, the kids and i walked over to Jodi's in the morning to play and so i could go through the clothes that Jodi had priced for the garage sale that were cam's. then we came back home, packed some, had lunch, Al got up, we packed the car and left for the north shore. we did our annual stay at lou's condo at superior shores. we met mom in Duluth to pick rocks, feed and change tova, and then headed to two harbors. once there, we unpacked, played, threw the lasagna in the oven, and then ate before going swimming. it was really windy out and chilly (84 degrees when we left eau Claire, 51 in Duluth). tova and Al stayed in the room while mom, T and i went swimming. then back to the room and to bed.

Saturday morning after breakfast, mom, T and i ran to shopko quick then came back, packed up some things and headed up to silver bay to see GG and marion & Ray. we had lunch in silver bay, then Al, the kids and i went back to the condo for a nap/rest time. once tova was up and fed, we went to the beach at the condo to pick rocks and the sky cleared up, the sun came out and it was beautiful out! once mom was back, she came down too. then we went to the playground quick before heading back to the condo for supper. we swam late again and trevor loved it as usual.

sunday morning we packed up, then while tova napped mom, Trevor and i went to pick rocks again. then we headed home to eau Claire. the kids were great in the car but trevor did get a stuffy nose and his voice sounded funny by sunday night. at about 3ish, tova and i drove up to the cities so i could play softball. tova stayed with mom while i played at 6&7, we won the first, lost the second, and i played decent. then i went back to mom's, grabbed tova and we drove home.

Monday morning i just did stuff around the house including unpacking, and trevor just laid kinda low since he was still stuffy and funny voiced. tova was awake for 2 hours and took 2 more than an hour naps!!
