Michigan is in the midst of a heat wave. It should not be 75-80 degrees in mid-March. I think technically it’s still winter, right? Good thing we splurged on a fancy new snow blower this year, which Dave got to use all of two times. Oh well.
Saturday morning Dave let me sleep in and then made us a wonderful egg breakfast. Ajax and I then ran to Meijer for some groceries and to purchase a mop so that Dave could clean up the basement properly after all the work. I didn’t even realize that we didn’t own a mop… I just swiffer. Ajax was very good at Meijer and chatted away about everything and anything that caught his interest. We spent quite a bit of time looking at the fish and he had me name each and every one. When we got home I made us all some lunch and realized that I was pretty hungry while grocery shopping because I bought a ton of snacky, not on the list, items that normally would never make it into my basket. After lunch Ajax and I played outside while Dave continued to work in the basement. It was so nice outside it was ridiculous, I believe it hit a solid 75.
Ajax has been referring to himself lately in the third person, specifically as a “working man.” (ie. working man’s going to bed now, working man’s gotta poop, etc). Well, “working man” was also dead set on picking up all the dog poop in our yard. He specifically said that this was guys work, so obviously mom’s couldn’t do it, but I could watch and assist when necessary. Ajax spent over an hour in the backyard picking up dog poop with his blue shovel and then loading it into his dump truck. Now let me clarify- by “dog poop” Ajax was referring to the soagy leaves that litter our backyard. He started off trying to jump over the numerous puddles, but then gave up and plowed right through them. I actually had to strip him down outside and put him into the bathtub for a quick scrub before laying him down for his nap, lol.
After nap we all ran to the mall because with this sneaking heat I realized that Ajax had no summer clothes (how negligent that a mom has waited until mid-March to purchase summer clothes for her child). Dave watched Ajax on the playscape while I shopped and that worked out perfectly. I also realized that I need to pick up some summer maternity clothes as the last time around I was pregnant during the winter, bah. Luckily my cousin had given me some of her maternity clothes and that included a few skirts.
Today has also been busy. Ajax and I went to buy the Sunday paper, then we all headed to Meijer because I forgot to buy a ton of things, we did lunch and now Ajax is napping. It’s sunny and warm outside, so when the nino gets up I think I’ll clean out my car while he plays. Good times!
Ajax kept wanting to dig up our yard, so I let him dig in the garden, which he found to be an excellent work site.
This is Ajax picking up the “poo.”
