I needed to find stuff for Amy to do, so the first task was finishing her owls. I saw this idea online and it worked great. You just take empty toilet paper rolls, tape down the top and then paint, add eyes, beak and wings and voila! You are done.
As you can imagine- she loved it. And her and Will have been having a blast playing with them.
After a costume change "because she wanted the bugs to know she was nice," (her new shirt says "it's nice to be nice") I let them play outside for awhile. Amy promptly found worms- her new fascination.....
I can't remember if all three survived- I think at least 2 made it back into the ground. After that fun- prompt bath time was required. Ugh! All the worm juice. (shivering)
Then it still wasn't bed time so Amy convinced me to make some cookies with her. She didn't want chocolate chip, but wanted "shape" ones. Sometimes I don't know why I start these projects with her. I was really too tired to mess with it, so I did get a little frustrated with the mess she so desperately wanted to make. But it was an easy recipe and clean-up wasn't too bad either. Little Will found us and more importantly- saw what we were doing. And he loved it!
He was trying to swipe another cookie. His cheeks are usually puffy- but in this case it's full of cookie. Finally, it was bedtime! We've been putting the kids to bed really early lately (like 6 or 6:30pm) because they don't sleep well. A friend gave me a sleep book that suggests putting them to bed earlier and amazingly- it's worked! Amy is sound asleep by 7:30 and sleeps until 7:30am. Wonderful!!! Will is a little different, but that's going to take some training and patience.
This morning we saw Wills' pediatrician and he wants him to be seen by the pediatric neurologist. Which doesn't surprised us any. So we don't have any news to report on the Will front. But after that appointment, we should know more.
So that's our life. I'm ready for a nap!
I know you're a better mom than me. cookies? Just because? And then cut outs? You definitely get mom of the year. By the way I also didn't mention in the last blog that I bet Will was a much better patient than Gram. Ugh!!! Let's all pray she stays healthy. Love always.
ReplyDeleteI know I'm a better patient than Lynn says.! It sure is an odd feeling to be so bedded down that no-one lets you up for anything!! I really was feeling fine and couldn't understand why I had to be so still. Oh well I'm free now and hope I don't have to make that trip again. Glad Will is feeling better. Hope you have a good trip to the Dr. with him and all comes out good. Be sure to let us know how he does. Amy sure did make cute owls! That was a cute idea.
ReplyDeleteSure don't like her worms though. I can't stand them. Love to you all. Gram
I'm tired just keeping up with your blog, no wonder you are pooped. Hope you can steal a nap. The costumes are so adorable. Wish they were coming to my house for Halloween. They should score extra candy in those get-ups.
