Pretty active day.

Luke and I got started this morning by driving up to High Hopes. He did great at speech therapy. Our next stop was Home Depot. He had fun there and we bought some bird seed, suet, and a fancy light bulb for Liz. We went to Publix after that in order to get yogurt, dino melon, sweet peppers, carrots, as well as chips and salsa. Luke enjoyed that as well. We drove home and played with Legos until lunch time. He had a valiant effort at taking a nap but couldn’t fall asleep. Since it was so beautiful outside we went out and hung bird feeders and a bird house. Home Depot had a special suet with red pepper that squirrels supposedly don’t like. Hopefully it will work. Dinner was a mix of leftovers and although Luke started to get a bit of an attitude afterwards he went to bed okay a few minutes ago. Soon I will ride my exercise bike again. Not sure if I will finish The Expendables 2, but I should at least come close.

Finally out of the house.

This morning I went to Kroger. It was my first time out of the house in a week. Our road was still a mess but Bear Creek and Nashville Highway were fine. The store was restocking but most of what we needed was there. A little later we all drove up to Nashville to celebrate Lauren’s birthday. We played in the back yard and ate pizza. We drove for a couple of hours to get home so that Luke could get in a good nap. At home we unboxed and played with a delayed Christmas present from my parents – building blocks. They were a bit slow in assembly, but Luke enjoyed them. This evening I rode my exercise bike and watched the first 30 minutes of The Expendables 2. That was pretty entertaining and it felt good to get some exercise.

Slow Saturday.

Nothing too out of the ordinary today. Liz and Luke played a lot while I worked on the computer. They went outside as there is still a bit of snow to play in. I watched some online auctions but all of the vehicles I was interested in went too high. Luke didn’t take a nap and was a bit of a challenge for much of the day.

Another snow day.

It was nice and sunny today, along with a little warmer. Luke had a Zoom meeting this morning and afterwards we chatted with my parents and played in the snow some more. He had a great nap and went outside with Liz after she got off work early. He was again a little late going to bed. He was mostly in a good mood today, with a few spots of mischief. He is still pretty congested but is a good sport about it. This evening I pretty much finalized materials lists and cost estimates for the next two houses.

Snow day!

Well, the snow finally came in earnest nd it is pretty cool. Luke had speech therapy remotely this morning, then we all went outside. I rigged up a sled out of a garbage can lid, and pulled him around on that. He had a blast. We came indoors once we were too wet to take it any more, then played until lunch. He actually took a nap without too much difficulty. We went back outside after Liz got off work. It was pretty special to see Luke having so much fun. He went to bed without too much trouble after being a bit of a pill at dinner.
