Trevor had a special Daddy outing day and got to go to the zoo very early this morning. (Both boys were up at 6am). The fill-in nurse that trained today did a good job and kept Brendan entertained. What did I do with my free time? Housework! It would not have been my first choice, but the clutter and mess is an added stress and finding time to get to it makes more stress. Getting it done was totally worth it.

Bill took some great pictures on their outing.

He did not want to come out of this tree house

As I looked at Trevor’s shaggy hair I said, “Trevor, do you need a haircut?” and he said, “Yes.” I asked if I should get out the clippers and he said, “Yes.” Then he said, “Haircuts are beautiful.”
He was just a little shaggy, but it gets hot and full of sunscreen.

Brendan has this little patch that always grows 8 times faster than the rest and makes a little mullet.

Both boys got a touch up with the clippers and then Trevor wanted to vacuum up the hair.

Bath time silliness. Apparently if you lather shampoo in your hair, bubbles will stick on it without popping and you will look like some adorable alien bubble head.

Bubbles everywhere!

Bill was out at a celebration for a friend, so I was dealing with the boys alone at bedtime. I was lucky that Brendan’s night nurse dropped by to pick up some papers she forgot because I was able to rope her in to helping me get the boys in bed. (OK, she was very willing to volunteer). Thanks Mary Alyn for making that part of the night much better.

Trevor had such an action packed long outing, we were sure he would nap all afternoon. 1hr is all he needed, but then he was begging for dinner just after 4PM! “Eat. Eat. Eat.” he said, “My tummy needs more food.”
