Okay, so I'm starting to suck at these three good things lists. Lately, I forget and then remember when I'm already in bed. Even tonight, it's 11:30 and I should really be in bed, but I know leaving yesterday's and today's to tomorrow is just asking for trouble. Having said that, I should really get to it.
Sunday, December 4
1. Jeff and I had the young girl across the street babysit the boys while we ran a bunch of errands in the morning. We still had a few things left that didn't get done, but it made me realize how much longer it would have taken if we had brought the kids. Feeling productive is kick-ass.
2. I was a bit worried about how Gray would be with the sitter. He really doesn't know her. I knew Carter would be great (he's Mr. Social), but I don't find Gray that warm with people he doesn't know well. But he was great. She even put him down for a nap and not only did he go down no problem, he actually fell asleep.
Knowing that we have someone right across the street is fan-freaking-tastic. Date nights are in our future. Oh yes. Yes, they are.
3. Right before bed, Grayson wanted to play Carter's Guess Who game. He obviously can't play, so he was on Jeff's "team". Jeff just showed Grayson which windows to close. Carter and I were on a team. We were snuggled up on the couch playing and as I looked over at Gray and Jeff, Grayson looked so sweet. I wish I had my phone handy. He was on Jeff's lap, in his pj's and his little feet looked so cute, I could have just eaten them up.
I felt really blessed as we sat there in our warm house, Christmas tree lit up, with this little family. *sigh*
Monday, December 5
1. I got our passports today. I didn't get Grayson's, so I have to go back. I needed the Long Form Birth Certificate for him, which I thought I had. Yeah, I didn't. Anyway, the passports has been one of those major things on the list and feeling like they've (mostly) been dealt with is a relief.
2. After passports, my mom tagged along with the boys and I, which allowed me to get another bunch of to-do's crossed off of my list. We're getting there, people! One of those to-do's was to order myself new glasses, which I did. I'm super excited to get new ones :) Ahhhh the excitements of an adult. #SoLame
3. The boys and I went with my dad to the CP Rail Christmas train and they absolutely loved it. We only sat in the truck and watched, since it was so bloody cold out, but it was still fun. Afterwards, we went to Second Cup and got hot chocolates. It was a nice evening with some of my favourite boys :)
4. The boys were good boys for me this evening. We did baths and books and cuddles before bed. I started reading Carter Charlotte's Web. We gave up on Stuart Little. Even I find it boring so far. But he seems to really love Charlotte's Web. This makes me excited. I love that he's old enough now to read short novels. I never did read the Harry Potter series; I'm not really sure that they are my thing, but I'm still looking forward to reading them to Carter. I feel like doing that will force me to read them and I'm hoping that how much I enjoy them takes me by surprise. We shall see.
Okay, nearly midnight, so nighty-roo, all. (At this hour, editing is for the birds!)
