What a busy and fun filled weekend!
On Saturday morning I met my met my mom in Stockbridge so that Ajax could go stay the night on the farm, while Dave and Noomi set off to pick up a toy box for her bedroom that I found on Craigslist. When we got home Noomi and I reorganized/played in her room. She was very excited about the new toy box and loved that it fit almost all of her closet toys. After lunch and a nap we headed out side and did some yard work. The neighbors lent us their rototiller and Dave prepped the garden beds. We really need to get moving on our garden. Noomi worked (not so hard) on raking the yard, but then got so hot that we pulled out the water table for her while we continued working. When we went inside I painted Noomi’s nails with pink sparkly polish that I bought for her. And then we topped out the night with a movie and pizza in the living room.
My mom reported that Ajax had a ton of fun on the farm and helped her clean out the horse stalls and plant flowers.
On Sunday, I again met my mom to pick up Ajax, who also reported that he had a great day at grandma and grandpa’s house and even earned $2 for his work. When we got home we finished working outside, the kids went for several bike rides, and then after dinner my sister stopped by to say hi and give the kids their gifts from her trip to Mexico. As both kids were beat they were in bed a little after 7 pm. Ajax fell asleep immediately, but Noomi took a little longer to settle down. Overall, a pretty enjoyable weekend.
