Luke was up pretty early this morning, so everybody else got going as well. We went to the park at Port Royal for a while. After lunch I went into town to look for some flooring, but Zach’s place was closed. I drove up to Spring Hill and visited the bookstore and Home Depot before returning home. Luke and I worked on a couple more projects including installing a board and hanging curtain rods in his room. He was pretty well behaved today and went to bed without trouble tonight.
Challenging day.
This morning Liz and Luke made breakfast cookies. First we went to Kroger for gas, then drove up to 100 Oaks. We looked at flooring at a couple of places, took Luke to a playground, then went to Patel Brother’s grocery. We cut our trip short because Liz started to have headaches. Back at home Luke had a major meltdown that lasted nearly an hour. This afternoon Liz ran some errands and Luke and I took down the Christmas tree and decorations. We also played with some Legos. Dinner went well and bed time was long, but he is asleep now.
Last work day of the year.
I got a better night’s sleep last night, thankfully. This morning I cleaned the house a bit, ran errands all over, and did a little office work. This afternoon I cleared some trees in front of the house and where the septic lines will go. I left the cottage around three and drove home. It was good to see Luke and Liz. Luke was pretty amped up. Liz is putting him to bed now.
Christmas hangover.
We all slept in a little bit this morning, which was nice. After breakfast I went to Lowe’s and Aldi for a few things. We spent the rest of the morning playing with new toys and relaxing around the house. This afternoon we went to a playground in Spring Hill for a bit. I kind of tried to nap after that, but was unable to. Before dinner I loaded up my car to prepare for my trip to the Mountain later. Luke was pretty well behaved this evening and is going through his bed time routine with Liz now.
Merry Christmas.
I was up until about two this morning doing stuff on the computer. Luke came to our room early and snuggled with us until about 6:30. Then we opened stockings, played some, ate waffles, opened presents, talked with Liz’s parents, played some more, talked with Liz’s younger brother, went to church with my parents, had lunch at Lauren’s house, and came home. It was a pretty tiring day, but Luke enjoyed it. He did pretty well for himself in the present department. Tonight he was a handful though, probably just over tired and over stimulated.
