This was a pretty quiet weekend.
It rained nonstop on Saturday. I mean nonstop, cold and rain. So everyone was stuck inside and honestly we were all a bit stir crazy. On Sunday, the weather was still cool for June, but at least it was sunny. The kids were able to ride bikes and play with the hose and water table. I thought it was to cold for water play, but they both seemed to have fun. Though Ajax and Noomi do play well together, they are currently going through what I am sure will be a 10-12 year period of sibling bickering and general annoying. Their fighting is driving David and I bananas, lol.
During dinner tonight Noomi became obsessed with Ajax’s red straw (even though she had her own purple straw). She kept pleading with him throughout dinner to please give it to her. Then she began demanding he give it to her. When I told her to use her words she said, Ajax please… I love that straw! On and on. Then after she finished her dinner she got down from her chair, and walked around the table to sit on my lap (next to Ajax). Then she started up again, please Ajax, I love it, please can I have that straw. I must admit that I could barely control my laughing, so of course Ajax started laughing which made Noomi mad. She became so mad that she lunged across the table and tried to grab the straw knocking Ajax’s glass of water over. That made me laugh harder, which wasn’t very mature, but she was being extremely dramatic.
On a non-kiddo note, on Friday the U.S. Supreme Court held that marriage is a fundamental right protected by the Constitution and that this protection extends to same-sex couples. This is a very exciting decision and a step in the right direction!
