Our Day - June 9th, 2009

For the next few weeks, during the weekdays, I'll be posting about our days so that Seth doesn't feel completely isolated from his family. I can't promise that these will always be eventful, but we'll try!

~~~

The day started out pretty good - Everyone slept in until 8:00am!
Amazing!

God was a sweetheart and watered the patch of new grass, garden and landscape for me! Oh, and the hanging plants!

Breck and Rowan played sort of nice together for a while.

They decided it was a good idea to try and squeeze through the super small space between the dining chair and wall...

Breck helped me by vacuuming most of the rooms.
...and then cornered Rowan.



Rowan took a nap from 11 to 12:30.
During that time Breck and I ate lunch and he made a gorgeous masterpiece:



After Rowan woke up and ate lunch, the kids formed a band...
(Rowan had lost interest by the time I shot this video.
And if you want full sound effects, turn your volume up as high as it can go.)

Breck seriously tested the limits with naughty behavior towards the afternoon...he came close to being locked in a closet, but I thought better of it...mainly because he would have thought it was fun.


...and he was a little weird, too...

(although this looks like it would really hurt, I tried it on myself and it doesn't hurt at all.)


I got some chores done throughout the day: steam cleaning the living room, deep cleaning the fridge, some laundry (yes, it all got folded and put away!), cleaned the corner cabinets in the kitchen and sorted through Breck's clothes that were too small.


Rowan took her second nap from 3:30 to about 6:00!
Breck fell asleep on the floor around 5:30 and slept 'til nearly 7:30!

While Breck slept, Rowan and I ate dinner.

This picture is blurry because she has figured out that it's fun to push off with her hands and make the chair tip back!


and Rowan had some funny moments of her own!

When Breck woke up I was steam cleaning our bedroom carpet. When I went to check on him this is what I found:

I'll give you 1 guess as to what's behind his back!
He carried the bar stool over to the kitchen counter, crawled on top of the counter and got the bag of truffles off of the highest shelf. Then he closed the cabinet doors so I wouldn't notice anything odd at first glance.

Sneaky, sneaky.


It's now 10pm and I'm beat!
Rowan's in bed, but Breck is still out in full force.

Here he is on the naughty chair:

and no, that's not where I left him!
