Year 2 – Week 30 – Day 4

Early Sunday mornings are always for grocery shopping. Trevor and I go as soon as he is done with breakfast. Since he was up at 5am again, that was fairly early. I don’t know what is waking him that early, but we are trying an experiment tonight. I put some blackout shades on his windows. Just in case it is the super early summer sun coming in his window, maybe this will work and he will sleep in!

I let him sit in one of the cool shopping carts. I have avoided them like the plague, but this one was baking in the hot sun and I detailed it with a Clorox wipe before I put him in it. He LOVED it. I actually liked the cart too, it has a two-level basket that is really convenient.
“Cheese it, the cops!!”

I didn’t get the camera out much today, we were trying to make a relaxing day out of it. (yeah, right!!) It is a good thing they always get crazy in the evening, I got some super cute video.

Uneventful days are good!

Year 2 – Week 30 – Day 3

It was a super busy day (again) for a Saturday. Bill worked super hard in the new room to get the ceiling and window trim painted, and the ceiling fan hung. Tomorrow will be more detail and touch up painting and baseboard installation. Then we can tackle the carpet project! I cared for the super-powered energy twins all morning, both of whom decided that 5am was a good time to wake up.

Trevor and I ran a few errands and then we had some adult company tonight. Our friend Mike (who is a daily blog reader!) got to meet the boys in person for the first time. We made dinner and the boys had to sit at the table with us.

Trevor obviously didn’t like the dinner menu tonight

Brendan enjoyed dinner company

I got a nice squishy and longer bath mat for in the tub to try to make it easier to have both boys in there together. Logically, giving the boys a bath at the same time should save time. In reality, it is more work than the normal routine and it definitely requires two people. Baths together will be a once in a while fun thing rather than a daily event.

Mike brought them each a new truck, Brendan thought he had better bite the tires to check it out

Trevor is helping Brendan learn how to crawl and run trucks. They had a blast. Thanks, Mike!

“That’s right, now I have both of the trucks”

It is 8:30PM. Trevor is sound asleep in bed, Brendan is playing, crawling, climbing and being silly!

Year 2 – Week 30 – Day 2 – Post 2!

I should know better than to think that I can do the blog early in the day. There will always be something else in the evening! This is the second post today, so be sure to keep scrolling for the morning cuteness!

Bill was out of the house for a while tonight and so after dinner, I had to get Trevor through the bath. Brendan came in to the bathroom with me just to watch, but he was way too interested in the water!

So I don’t know if it was brave or foolish, but I threw Brendan in the tub too!

He loved all of the new toys he has never seen.

Bill came home just in time to help me with the “getting out” process and setting up Brendan’s stuff. And he got to see the sillies in action.

“Brother in the bath is OK!!” (for tonight anyway)

There is only one thing left for Brendan to do to copy Trevor’s bath routine. Streaking down the hall to get dry.

Now I have to try to get Brendan to GO TO BED!! He fights it so much!
