Business as Usual

Our first day of the week usually is all about being la-la-la-lazy: snuggling in bed in the morning, cleaning up the house, watching PBS, eating breakfast all the while still in our jammies!  This all changed when Braden started going to preschool on Monday and Wednesday's this fall but luckily for us this week we didn't have school because of Columbus Day so our "first day of the week" was a Tuesday and we were back to a la-la-la-lazy start to the week.  Gracie slept until 9:45 (from 6:30 the night before!).  Braden was up later than usual too - must have been a result of the sick weekend.  I spent way too much time reading blogs, editing mine, facebook stalking, and tweeting.  Somewhere in there I managed to feed my children, fold laundry, pay some bills, and clean up the kitchen - and yes, I was in my jammies the whole time!

Anyway, the highlight of my day was playing Candyland with Braden during Gracie's nap.  It was the first time he'd ever played it and he was so excited.  We made it through two rounds and he won both of them fair and square.

Braden's first Candyland

Post-Gracie's nap we headed to Roche Bros for the few ingredients I needed to make dinner that I didn't have.  Typically Monday mornings while Braden's at school I try and do my grocery shopping and I was reminded of why yesterday afternoon.  If Braden wasn't yelling or whining or taking produce off the shelves (someday he is going to pull the wrong apple and the whole display is going to end up on the floor and when that day comes I'm going to pretend I don't know him!) he was hanging onto the cart trying to be dragged along.  Honestly, I find it impressive how well he knows how to push my buttons.  It takes all the composure I can muster up to not totally lose it in public when he behaves like that.  I bribe, I beg, I plead but no matter what...he still acts like a punk at the grocery store!  Oh well, another shopping experience in the books.  We all survived.  Unfortunately, I wish I could say the same for my dinner...it was awful and I feel terrible that I made my husband eat it....don't worry, I won't share the recipe! 

And with that friends...another day with the Foxes is complete....
