This morning it was rainy and nasty when we drove up to High Hopes. There was only one other car in the parking lot when we arrived and the lady said that they were opening at nine. So our 8:15 appointment was cancelled. Luke was pretty disappointed and we drove back home. We had snack and then went to the children’s museum (basically a play area) in downtown Columbia. It was an okay experience. A little crowded, very few masks, and just pretty hectic overall. Luke seemed to enjoy it though. We were late coming home and lunch took a little while to cook. He did nap, but only after a struggle and it was about 2:30 by the time he fell asleep. He woke up and had a snack, then Liz got off work and they played together for a while. At dinner he had his second serving of pumpkin pie of the day, and was thrilled about that. Bath and bed times went pretty well.

Luke and I played with Legos for most of the morning. My parents came and we all spent time outside together. Luke had a great time and spent the rest of the day talking about it. Lunch was a little late and then nap did not happen. He was a real handful for the whole afternoon. When Liz got off work I went outside and started building a floor for the goat shed, which will become Luke’s playhouse. He was still a bit of a pill at dinnertime, but bath and bedtime went okay.

Luke slept in a little this morning. We built some Legos before I went outside and split a little firewood. My friend Tim came and picked up some for his outdoor fire pit. It was good to see and talk with him for a few minutes. After lunch both Luke and I failed to take naps. I really tried and stayed on the sofa for a couple of hours or more. After that we all went outside. Liz and Luke picked up sticks and I cut some boards for the floor of Luke’s playhouse. Unfortunately I am one board short, so was unable to assemble everything. We had a quick dinner and Luke went to bed easily because he was so tired. Liz and I have been watching the Super Bowl since then.
