*Typical/frustrating 8 y/o kid-isms: Jill asked Michelle why she was late picking her up from school. ALL the other parents came early. And then when Michelle tossed her the cleats to put on to get up the driveway..."but Moooooommmmm, I don't like how they look". Sheesh!
On Tuesday, Jill's friend came over with her mom Lisa and the girls went excited to go outside to sled (or to "go sleighing" as Molly says). Molly wanted to go out but didn't want to dress appropriately. She had the choice of getting dressed or taking a nap. She pouted but went outside!
Nate stayed inside with us and was happy as a clam. We didn't even get out of our jammies that day! Now THAT'S what vacation is about.
Nate took a cozy nap sprawled out on Aunt Shel.
Over the next few days we got in lots of singing performances from Molly, lots of playing My Little Ponies with Molly, and Nate got lots of floor time. He was happy with the trucks, the ride-on car, the Little People, reading all his books, and especially all the attention he got from Jill and Molly.
Jill's school was 1 of 2 districts in the entire state of Oklahoma open on Thursday. Michelle and I (along with all the other Yukon parents) literally did a happy dance/jig when we got the call on Wednesday evening. :) We had lunch with friends then hit the mall. I got Nate some new brown shoes since apparently I dress the kid in brown pants about 4 or 5 times a week (not the same pair).
We picked Jill up from school and headed home to take Molly's car out for a spin. Nate had a ball! Nate also took his first and second sled rides that day. He loved that too! We took some video somewhere...
We celebrated Molly's 4th birthday by having friends over that same night. She is into Kung-Fu Panda - she likes to be Mistress Tiger (do I have that right??).
to be continued...
