On Saturday, although we mainly stuck around the house everyone was still pretty tired from the zoo. We did manage to get some chores done around the house. I got out the weed wacker and hacked down all the high grass around the house, which I actually found to be pretty fun. Noomi and I also used egg carton containers to start some seedlings. I realize we should have started these in early May, but we didn’t. Usually we just throw them in the ground and what happens, happens. But this year we decided to go ahead and try our hand at starting them indoors, if only for a week or two. We’re still getting night-time frosts, so we aren’t ready to put things in the ground anyhow.
Ajax and Noomi also rode bikes around the neighborhood, and then Ajax went over to a friends house to play for a bit. Grandpa Gordy ended up coming over and we all went out to eat at Tavern 109 in town. After dinner we walked along the river and then let the kids play on the playground. There were some kids from Ajax’s class at the park and the kids ran nonstop for over an hour.
You would think that after being so busy they would sleep in on Sunday. Not so, not so. Both kids were up just after 6 am on Sunday. Now I would like to point out that on school days I have to drag the kids out of bed and if they roll out of bed by 6:30 am, it’s a good day. As we speak both kids (and Dave) are napping. Ajax doesn’t normally nap anymore, but he was hysterically tired and we have a birthday party to go to this afternoon, so it was naps all the way around the Indish household.
In my quiet house I’m preparing the menu for my sister-in-laws baby shower and getting all my lists organized. I do love a good list. Oh, Ms. Noomi is also potty training (again). She has been asking to wear underwear this past week and I have actually been putting it off. This weekend, however, I didn’t really have a good excuse so when she asked to wear underwear again on Friday afternoon, we said ok! She’s done ok, with only a few accidents, and hasn’t fought us too much about sitting on the potty. I’m still not convenience she understands the “I need to pee” feeling, but she’s certainly doing better this time around.
