A Monday holiday was a great way to start the week. Daddy had an early flight to New Orleans (!) for a few work meetings, and we planned on laying low and just playing. That all changed quickly when Mommy was asked to join the Teacher Appreciation committee at Linc's school late on Sunday night, and a meeting was being held on Monday morning. The boys were happy to wake up to the news that they could go to Nana and Pops house for a bit. Backstory: Lincoln learned from his teacher on Friday that he didn't have school on Monday. Beau quickly asked if also didn't have school on Monday. Upon confirmation of both boys being out of school, they immediately cheered that it was a Nana and Pops Day. Mommy had to bust their bubble that she was off too, so it would be a Mommy Day. Lincoln's immediate response: "Mom, don't you want to be alone sometime? Wouldn't you like to not be bossed around by us for a day? You could do so many things if we weren't here! Don't you want that?" Mommy responded that she did want to spend the day (apparently) being bossed around, and they needed to get over it! So needless to say, they were especially happy to hear the news that they got to go to Nana and Pops' house! Lincoln completed a major Lego project, and Benny's Spaceship from The Lego Movie) at over 1,000 pieces took a while. He was so proud! This text picture brought a smile during an almost 3 hour committee planning meeting!
A Kindergarten friend (well, his Mom) sent a message in the morning that WOGA was having Open Gym from 12-2 on Monday, and we should meet up. Several of us played at WOGA for almost two hours, and it was super fun. The boys ran like crazy of course. Beau loved diving in the pits!
Lincoln was a maniac in the bounce house, and laughed like crazy. They made a new friend, Miles, and played hide and seek for ever!
When it was time for the parachute, everyone was excited. How to get 30 kids under 6 to work together . . . bring out a giant parachute!
After gym, Beau asked if we could hit up the Dog Stop. He was super happy with his snack! Lincoln played his Lego Movie video game to relax a bit, and Beau watched an episode of Berenstain Bears. We took Lincoln to Canyon Creek to have a putting contest with Pop Pop to work with Lincoln with his new putter. Beau and Mommy had an important popsicle and ice cream sandwich run to make to restock the freezer. Beau was happy to choose the treats! Lincoln went to his tennis lesson, and Beau gave Mommy a tennis lesson while we waited. Why does Mommy have to do the most of the running??? We came back home for pork tenderloin and steamed broccoli, and it was delicious. After a bath and shampoo, the boys fixed their "shark hair" again. Our chapter book right now is Captain Underpants and the Turbo Toilet 2000 . . . it's not Mommy's favorite. The boys LOVE it, and who could deny these two little boys laughing hysterically about toilets and potty humor.
For the record, we can't finish this book fast enough for this Mom. Next up is Charlie and the Chocolate Factory or Peter Pan. It was a super busy and super fun day together. Tuesday was going to be back to the routine. School for the boys, work for Mommy, and Daddy back home to cook us a wonderful spaghetti dinner.
