Fabulous Friday

The Activities

At last, a day of sanity. The kids were both in daycare today and I had a chance to recover from the bad moods this week. I dropped them off and both of them were happy to head off with their friends. I went to the gym and came home to a quiet house. Didn't get up to much today - did some computer work and then snuggled down in my bed for a nice long nap. A good recovery from the killer class I did at the gym today.

Up in time to go with Papa to the Catholic school that we are thinking of sending Schmoo to for kindergarten in September. It was a chance for us to have a tour of the building and talk to the principal about their program. We've heard lots of great things about the school, from other parents who's kids are already attending. We know a few other people already who's kids will be in Schmoo's class next year.

A quick visit to the grocery store and then we picked up the kids. They were playing outside and their snow suits were soaked from playing in the new snow. We headed home for a nice warm bath to warm up and then sushi for dinner before watching Babar. Papa got a call from his friend asking him to go to the local hockey game so he headed out around 6:30pm. The kids were happy tonight and we had a couple of stories in Bean's bed before I tucked them in. They do like to draw out bedtime though. It seems like they both manage to call us back in to their rooms at least once before they go to sleep. I'm having a quiet night watching shows on tape and trying to keep warm.

Thoughts on the Day

It was nice to have happy kids tonight. Last night's bedtime experience obviously made an impression on Schmoo. She told Bean tonight when I called them to brush their teeth that if he didn't do good listening that Mama would take his toys away. She was on her best good listening behaviour. Hopefully this means we're starting the weekend off on the right foot.

I had a nice day of doing nothing. Obviously something I needed to do. Luckily I didn't have lots of errands to do today. It was nice to just enjoy the quiet of the house and get a few things done that I usually don't have a chance to do.
