- Tried to clear out all the "requests" that I had piled up on Facebook, while trying to keep Caden from biting me or getting into the computer. Spent a few minutes playing with him trying to teach him "eyes", "nose", and "mouth." And interrupted a couple of times by Scott's alarm clock and trying to get him to get out of bed (he has privates to teach today).
- Post Saturday's list to blog....but first get Walker some fruit snacks...and then get Caden out of trouble...put him in his high chair with his bottle to keep him in one spot...figure out how to add images to the blog...and POST.
- 7:42: Scott has to head to work, so I have to go out in the COLD and move the car. Back in the house and have to figure out what needs to happen this morning. We have to be on the road to NH around noonish and I have to pick up a birthday present first.
- Changed Caden and got him dressed for the day.
- Folded a basket of laundry and tried to find Walker some clothes to wear. Loaded a basket up with dirty clothes to bring down to the laundry room so I can see if Walker has any pants in the dryer.
- Put Caden back in the high chair with a bottle of juice and brought a load of laundry down and loaded up another basket for the next trip.
- Gave Walker his breakfast and made something quick for myself...a heated Bertucci's roll.
- Set Walker up on YouTube with some Star Wars Lego videos and put Caden's high chair outside the bathroom door. Gave him a bottle of juice to distract him while I took a shower.
- Got dressed, did my hair, and put on my make-up.
- Went down to the laundry room to get pants for Walker and put in another load of clothes. Gave Walker his clothes to put on and went and got Caden dressed.
- 10:10: everyones' packed up. Time to head to Walmart. Shopping list: diapers, baby food, water, juice boxes, and a birthday gift for Grampy. Made a pit-stop for Coffee for me (my head was pounding) and milk for Walker.
- Headed home about 10 minutes before Scott did. Waited for him to get home and switched cars around as we'd be taking mine up to NH for Grampy's birthday.
- Scott packed Caden's diaper bag while I wrapped up Grampy's present. We got the boys ready and packed them up into the car for our 2.5 hour drive north to Washington, NH.
- Another pit-stop at Dunkin's to get us through the next couple of hours.
- We got to enjoy some "leaf peeping" on the ride up. It IS pretty up there...just not sure I'd like to LIVE that far from civilization - lol!

- The boys slept for most of the ride...thank goodness. We arrived at Grampy's (and Bob and Madelyn's) house at 2:30.
- Caught up with Scott's family: dad, grandfather, aunt, uncle, and cousins. Walker met cousins he hadn't seen since he was a baby and quickly was off playing ball and hide-and-seek with them (YAY WALKER!). Caden crawled around, tried to get into things, but still managed to "look cute." ;)
- We had lunch with the family and Grampy opened his birthday presents. We gave him a "NH Survival Kit" (box of chocolate, a bag of Dunkin Donuts coffee, a CD of Scottish drum and bagpipe music -- he's Scottish -- and a warm fleece throw).
- We caught the first half of Patriots game with our cousins and then packed the boys up to go.
- Listened to the game go down the tubes on the ride back home...sigh!
- Made a stop at McDonald's as Caden had been crying for the past 15 minutes while we were stuck in traffic and we figured he needed his diaper changes. We were correct. He had soaked through so I had to completely change him. Luckily I decided to bring his PJs along.
- 8:20: Got home from NH. Fed Caden while Scott got Walker his dinner.
- Scott put Caden to bed about 9:00 and called Sweet Lemons in Weymouth to order us some Pad Thai for dinner. I cuddled with Walker on the couch and watched Amazing Race, as Scott went out to pick up the food. Walker fell asleep and I picked him up and put him to bed.
Read a review on Sweet Lemons (one of our favorite Thai places on the South Shore) here: http://mangomissives.wordpress.com/2009/04/27/sweet-lemons/
- Scott got home with dinner and we sat on the couch, watched TV, and ate dinner. I got caught back up with Project Runway, which I had fell asleep during the other night when we were watching it.
- Fell asleep at some point and then woke up and watched a show about conjoined twins on TLC (that topic fascinates me for some reason) and then went to bed...2:00am.
