Sunday is referred to as "daddy stay home day" at our house, although yesterday was also somewhat of a daddy home day. We got up and went to our school's fall festival. They had the usual moonbounces and kiddie games, which of course the boys love, but they also had a costume contest. Laurel came in first as the tooth fairy! We were very excited because that came with a cash prize, which she in turn shared so thoughtfully and gave to her brothers to buy tickets for the games. John Michael is a card dealer and Carter had a screwdriver in his head and wanted to look like a dead guy. However, he had a total meltdown before walking into school because he was afraid everyone was going to laugh at him....which, if he had just let one person see him, I know they would have thought he looked awesome. Totally scary! So that started our day off wrong. Then Sue took them to see Astro Boy at the theater and he acted up there as well....it was just a bad day for Carter! He went to bed about 7:00 and got up this morning a little after 8:00, so he is much better! In fact, we had a great day today!
I had to wake Laurel up at 9:00 so Davis and I "slept in" until then...I say it like that since we were awake as soon as the boys were, but actually just let them run around us on the bed and play/watch TV while we stayed in the bed. Then we headed to Target to buy our prizes we had promised (actually bribed) them! Carter was for meeting his accelerated reading path and JM was for staying on green the whole 9 weeks. After that, we hit the church parking lot to buy some pumpkins. Then the afternoon was spent researching a dead snake Sue had given Carter. We measured and took pictures and wrote down our observations. JM helped us stack firewood and Laurel just ran around and seemed to step in every poop pile!
Now I am washing tennis shoes and we are winding our day down. Tomorrow at school is parenting day so I will be eating lunch up there with the boys and Davis has a big work week ahead of him! Then Carter's last soccer game is tomorrow night and our team parties are at Chuck E Cheese on Tuesday. I am invited to a pumpkin carving party on Thursday and then Halloween on Saturday! Whew!
