A Friday Full of Fun!

Friday was a very quick whirlwind of a day and a bit out of the ordinary for Baby B & I as we had one of our little friends for the day while his momma was at work. It gave me a glimpse at what life will be like once Baby B grows up a bit and has a little brother or sister :) Busy, but SO MUCH FUN!

The day started with Baby B up at 5, 6:10, 6:30 and finally 7:30.  We got started on the standard morning routine...while feeding Baby B, our little friend's momma called to see if we could watch the Little Man for the day. I said "...of course! Can you drop him off?" as she was about to step out the door for the day and I wasn't sure I could get Baby B & I out the door in time for her to leave (we were still in pj's).  Ten minutes later, he arrived and smothered Baby B with kisses (he thinks babies are really cool). At that point, I gave up on feeding Baby B as he was much more interested in his friend...so they sat together and played while I zipped around with the vacuum cleaner for 15 minutes.

9:00 am: A snack for Little Man and an attempt to get Baby B to drink more bottle (but still too interested in friend...so give up and feed breakfast). Baby B talks to his friend the whole time he is eating (it is not polite to talk with your mouth full, baby!)

After snack time, more play was on the agenda and I had a chance to empty the dishwasher and put away the dishes.

10:00 - We all get ready to go for a walk...I load the two little boys into the chariot (how awesome), strap on Oscar's harness & leash and go pick up Little Man's dog to join in our walk. We are quite a sight, the five of us...with a dog on each side of the chariot, we take up almost the whole lane of traffic, lol. The boys "talk" to each other for quite awhile...but then I notice silence, and when I bend down to check on them, they are both sleeping - the sight is so adorable! Since they are both out for the count, I decide to stop by the store and post office to get some quick errands checked off the list (the boys wake up during these errands, but are very cooperative!) We take Little Man's dog home & head home ourselves.
11:13 am: home again, home again!
11:25 am: Little Man discovers the doggie door (I've been waiting for this to happen all morning...thought that we were in the clear, lol...should've known better) and disappears out it for the first time...he will do this four times over the next few minutes during play time - I finally become a spoil sport worrying he will bonk his head on the paving stones and put the cover on.  Little man is :( because it was a fun game.
12:00: get turkey in oven
12:30: Make lunch for the three of us...Baby B is going to have mixed veggies, Little Man & I macaroni and cheese and banana for dessert.
1:00 pm: clean up/wash hands/faces/table
2:00 pm: put both boys down for a nap - they are both rubbing their eyes
2:15 pm: SILENCE - both boys are sleeping...Oscar finally stops pacing and lays down amongst the toy explosion...his nose is a little put out at the extra body taking away attention from him

2:30 pm: sit down @ computer and quickly record activities thus far for the day
2:35 pm: chop celery, onions & mushrooms (& thumb - ouch!) for stuffing

2:45 pm: Baby B wakes up with a cry (unusual for him) and thus also wakes up the Little Man...the house feels really hot, both boys are rosy-cheeked and warm, so we strip down to the diapers while we play
4:00 pm: Little Man's momma comes to pick him up.
4:30 pm: the house feels so EMPTY!
4:45 pm: I start to tidy up, get stuffing in oven, and sit down to have a glass of water

5:15 pm: Rod home from work
6:00 pm: Adults eat supper
6:30 pm: Baby B eats supper
7:05 pm: Bath time!
8:20 pm: Baby B to bed
8:30 pm: Thinking about cleaning up the kitchen explosion...but that is as far as I get.
8:35 pm: Attempt to work at online course...eyes feel like sandpaper and I can't concentrate.
8:45 pm: Sit on couch and watch a bit of TV with Rod.
9:30 pm: Head to bed!
