Day 2 of October Weekend With Kids

The second day of the weekend was a success :)

Daniel enjoyed his extra reading time before naptime as he had yesterday. Natalie even spent some time resting as well (great suggestion, Jenn!) It left me time to get the fish tank cleaned out as I had been intending to do for a little while.

After naptime, we had a little "Harry Potter" fun-time and watched the 2nd two movies back-to-back. After the movies and dinner Natalie drew some wizard pictures and practiced writing her name a bit.

As for dinner, I made two boxes of Macaroni and Cheese. I'm really glad I made two batches since the kids ate it ALL, aside from my two servings.

Day 1 of October Weekend With Kids

Figure I'd start off my intention to keep blogging w/ little "journal" entries about the weekend w/ the kids.

Day one of my weekend alone with the kids has come to an end.
Jenn's leaving in the morning didn't cause any sort of meltdowns with Daniel even though he was very clingy to her the past few days.
Both kids were pretty good most of the day, not too many scuffles over toys :)
Lunch was a special of toast n' eggs.
Dinner was a California pizza & grilled cheese. Why grilled cheese? Natalie doesn't like pizza sauce! She's missing out big time!

We ended up watching "Air Buddies" about 3-4 times today. Natalie's new favorite movie since I borrowed it from the library yesterday. Later we watched "Howl's Moving Castle".

The kids both loved the movie and actually SAT STILL for it. For a short while I was able to get them both sitting together with me under a blanket.

After getting all of the kids to bed, time to take a mental break and watch "Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull".

Signing off this Friday and looking forward to what Saturday brings.
