This morning I went to Kroger first thing. The experience wasn’t as bad as expected, but it was still nice to be finished. Luke and I played a lot this morning, and created a “wrecking ball” for his crane out of materials that Liz acquired at Hobby Lobby yesterday. This afternoon we played some more and Luke and Liz made pumpkin bread. This evening Luke was a little wild, but we got the house cleaned up and him bathed. Liz is with him now starting the bed time routine. Soon I will head to the Mountain for what will hopefully be a very productive three days.
Wet, but still active.
This morning we went for a walk at the battlefield in Spring Hill, then to Home Depot for a few things, next to the Factory in Columbia, and finally to the farmers market just before everybody packed up for the day. This afternoon Luke and I did a lot of playing. This evening he was really tired and went to bed early.
Pretty much all day in the car.
This morning I left the cottage at 6:15 and drove to Dixie Salvage in Fort Payne, Alabama to pick up my vanities. The plan was to get them, then install them. Unfortunately only two of the three would fit. So I told them I would return on Monday for the third. After dropping those two off at the job site and getting some free breakfast at the lumberyard, I decided to return for the third one, then drive home. So I did. It was a tiring day, but it was nice to see Luke and Liz. We played with Legos until dinner. He was a bit wild at bath time, but calmed down eventually and went to bed without fuss.
Tired.
Last night I didn’t sleep well, continuing a disturbing trend that has been going on for a little while now. Upon rising Luke and I played a bit while Liz made waffles. After breakfast I went to Kroger for a few things. The rest of the morning was pretty relaxed, as was the afternoon. Luke and I read and played while Liz ran some errands. I wanted him to nap so I could as well, but no luck. Around three we went to Lowe’s, the Factory again for some Christmas shopping, downtown to walk around the square, and finally for a drive through Woodland Park to see their Christmas light show. That was a real flop. Finally back home we had dinner consisting primarily of a soup I made in the slow cooker. Luke went to bed about seven since he was exhausted. After chatting with Liz for a bit I drove up to the cottage.
Exploring new things.
This morning we drove up to Spring Hill. After picking up an order at Target we went to Home Depot and Lowe’s. From there we went to the Factory in Columbia for a snack and to look around at the shops. Back at home we unpacked Luke’s new mattress, which was shipped to us. He was very excited about it and his new sheets. We spent the afternoon relaxing at home. Luke was a bit of a terror this evening, especially after bath.
