On Monday Paul was at home and we just stayed with the kids in doors. Sam was still not doing so great so we wanted to keep an eye on him. On Tuesday Sam went to preschool for the morning. We were afraid that if he had anymore time off of daycare he would go back to the beginning where he would cry every time we dropped him off. Thankfully Tuesday went really smoothly. He was very excited to go. So while he was at school Ally and I went grocery shopping. It was very weird to just have one child with me. I felt like I was forgetting something very important the entire time!
Wednesday I spent cleaning the house and getting things ready for my niece and nephew coming over. Jenn was needing to do some shopping so I volunteered to have Luke and Emma for a bit so that all four could play together. It went surprisingly well considering I had a one year old, two 2 year olds, and a four year old by myself for a few hours. My mom came over to help around dinner time and Paul watched all four by himself while Mom and I went to grab dinner. We had McDonald's. That's what happens when we let a four year old determine what we are eating! Wish I would have taken some pictures of them all together, but it was a bit crazy at times!
I did manage to get Ally's closet cleaned out this week. She needed it changed over from summer clothes to winter clothes. Here is what her closet looks like. Sam's looks absolutely barren next to hers. All of these clothes are from Emma when she was Ally's age and a few pieces that my mom picked up for her. I am surprised at how much we have been given for her, but very thankful of that!
Thursday we took Sam back for a half day at preschool and while he was there I went for about an hour and a half walk with Andrea and Lana. We bundled the kids up because it was about 35 degrees that morning and had a nice long walk on the B&O Trail behind Andrea's house. Again, I felt really bad about leaving Sam behind but he had another great day at daycare and since I was getting him half day I really appreciated the one on one time I had with Ally.
Today is Friday and again hasn't gone exactly as we planned. Paul was rear ended last week so we needed to take the car in to make sure there wasn't any damage. We thankfully had none, but then needed to get an oil change and break inspection and also get new tires. So we were taking the car several places today. Then my dad came over to spend the afternoon with us. We also ran to the store to get a few things and decided to get Sam a potty chair. My original intention was to potty train all break, but there just hasn't been time. So, we sat him on the chair before nap. He likes it but hasn't actually gone potty on it yet.
It is going to be a really busy weekend and I know next week looks to be even busier then this week. But I think we will manage it pretty well! I just hope to soak up all my time with the kids because this staying at home thing really starts to grow on you!
