- Almost 7ish, Caden woke up. Time to really get up. Get Caden out of the crib. Let him play around the living room. Check email and see a post from a family member that a cousin of mine has died :( Sent a text to my parents to find out more.
- Put Caden in his high chair and gave him some Cheerios. Walker set up on the kitchen table with LOTS of toys that have now taken over my kitchen.
- Milk for Walker. Bottle for Caden. Wash dishes. Unload and load dishwasher.
- Scott gets up to take a shower and head to work, he has some classes to teach this morning.
- Walker asks for help putting some Lego pieces together. He runs around the house looking for pieces and tells me where to put them.
- Walker's new little key chain lightsaber he got at last night's concert isn't working. Discover, after a little investigating, that he opened it and lost two of the batteries. Finally end up finding them when I was picking up the blankets and pillows off the living room floor.
- Feed Caden breakfast.
- Talk to my mom about my cousin, Billy. He had diabetes and must have let his sugar level get out of control. He was home alone. :( He was 47.
- Fold clothes and find outfits for the boys. Get myself dressed. Get Walker dressed. Start packing Caden's bag. Get Caden dressed.
- Set Walker up on the computer to watch You Can Draw Star Wars DVD and put Caden down for a nap. Give Walker breakfast (peanut butter crackers...that 's what he wanted). Make myself some toast and chill in the kitchen for a few minutes while watching The Phantom Gourmet.
- 11:30: Waiting for Scott to get home so we can take the boys out to Bass Pro Shop. Walker is back playing with his toys in the kitchen, so I can finally start my daily list...I've been up for 5.5 hours.
- Scott got home and we packed up the boys into the car and headed out for the day. Stopped at Dunkin's for a light breakfast and headed to Foxboro.
- Got to Bass Pro Shop at Patriots Place and walked around. The place is AMAZING! We've heard alot about it, but have never seen it ourselves...well, Walker has. Scoped out everything. They were having free pictures with Santa and doing Christmas crafts. We got a "Bass Pass" to see Santa at 4:30...it was currently 1:30...could we really spend 3 hours in Bass Pro Shop?
- Scott sat at the kids crafting area and made a reindeer ornament with Walker and then Walker colored in a picture of a train and filled out his letter for Santa.
- I took Caden for a walk around the store while Scott did crafts with Walker. We went and saw the big fish tank filled with trout, bass, pike, and more. We then checked out the turtle pond.
- Walker wanted to get a toy and we figured we could find something cheaper at the Christmas Tree Shops which was a couple of doors down. We took a walk to the other side of the shopping area and checked out the Christmas Tree Shop there. We walked around the Christmas Tree Shops. The place was MOBBED! We only wanted to buy 2 things: a Power Ranger toy for Walker and a "Night Before Christmas" story book (which I had just said to Scott when we got into the store that I needed to look the book up on Amazon.com because I couldn't seem to find it anywhere, and then we passed an end-cap with one...funny. It took us about 15 minutes to get through the register line.
- It was now creeping up to 3:00 and we figured we should grab something to eat. In the are we had the Olive Garden and the restaurant IN Bass Pro Shop. We decided to try the latter. It was a cool looking place, but unfortunately they didn't have much of a choice. We got sandwiches and ordered 2 sliders for Walker with fries. About 10 minutes after taking our order, the waitress came back and said "we're out of fries." That was the only thing Walker would eat and it was the one thing I was really looking forward to. We switched Walker's order to mac & cheese and Scott and I got potato salad with our sandwiches. I only ate the sandwich.
- After we were done with our late lunch, it was time to go visit Santa. After ALL that waiting, we were glad the boys were still awake, and not all that cranky. Unfortunately as soon as I put Caden on Santa's lap, he flipped out...and so here is the picture we got...oh well. Walker dropped his letter into Santa's mailbox and told him that he wanted a Tank with Clone Troopers. I'm not really sure if Santa knew what that was - LOL!
- Scott wanted to check out the archery section, as that is the one thing we hadn't seen in the store since arriving 3 hours earlier. Walker saw that the craft area had a new activity and wanted to participate. Scott took Caden for a walk to the archery section and sat with Walker and did more crafting and coloring. about 30 minutes later, Scott rejoined us and we headed for the car.
- The boys fell asleep in the car as they hadn't napped all day. We got home just before 6:00 and I turned on a football game in the kitchen...as I was going through withdrawals in not watching ANY football all day...and then popped on the computer to update my list of all the fun things we did today.
- Scanned in the boys' picture with Santa and posted it to Facebook. Played with Caden for a bit and then put him in his high chair with a bottle of milk. He's very cranky. He's not feeling well, though he has not developed a fever.
- Made a couple of blog posts and played with Caden.
- 7:30: went into the bedroom to wake Scott up from his nap. Put away a bunch of clothes I had folded YESTERDAY. Walker came into the room all groggy and I picked him up and cuddled with him for a bit. Brought Walker back into the living room and turned on cartoons and then played with Caden on the bed while we tried to get Scott up.
- Scott finally got out of bed and I got ready to go and watch the Pats with my dad.
- It was nice to sit and watch the game with my dad and not have to juggle the two boys through out the game. I WAS a good game...at least till the last quarter. The Pats lost in the last 2 minutes - MAN!!!!
- I headed home and made a quick stop by Walgreens to pick up diapers for Caden. Got home and cuddled on the the couch with Scott until I fell asleep...sometime after 12:30.
