Day 8

FRIDAY

I woke up around 6:30... I've been waking frequently at night and then up earlier than needed.  

Amelia woke at 6:45.  Yikes.  She watched cartoons while I showered.  Luca was up at 7.

Cheerios + raisins for Amelia.  1 pancake and 2 french toast sticks for Luca.  Megan commented on his crazy energy level this morning, so maybe those are too much for him... haha.

Cramming them in:

Crazy bedhead:

Luca was immediately devastated by the "canny"... the vitamin was not being presented to him fast enough:

Watching, waiting... for the "canny" sweetness:

Amelia had to make faces at him to get him to stand by her:

... and he tackled instead:

Contemplating eating a piece of Mama's biscotti:

It was like 60 degrees here today (and the next 2 days), and silly Amelia insisted on wearing a halter-top dress.  Her compromise was a sweatshirt and boots:

I dropped them off at Megan's around 7:55... she was ready for us.

Had lunch with Amy at Jason's Deli at Polaris.

Picked up the kiddos around 5.  Megan was immediately freaking out over how I might react to Luca's face.

He was happy as a clam, running around, so no worries from me!

Would NOT let go of this hula hoop:

Showing off the wounds (the mark kept getting darker as the night went on...):

Amelia's awesome (not really) jump-roping skills:



Came home and started dinner.  Video chat time with Daddy.

Kids ate chicken nuggets and carrots (cooked for L, raw for A).  I had a sandwich roll with some buffalo chicken in it.  It was yummy.

Then it was time for bunny duty.

Our bunny charges - Flopsy and Mopsy:

Amelia insisted on wearing a pair of white dress-up gloves for the chore:

Chasing one of the bunnies... here....

... and there ...

... and everywhere...

Poor bunny.  I got him without too much effort.

Luca making friends:

Bunny-speak:



Petting:

Not entirely as gently as bunny might like:

And then Amelia went off to play with Will and Olivia, and Luca got to his chores:

See?  More red.  I'm guessing it will be bruised tomorrow.

I texted Megan to let him know he was acting fine and she was still quite distraught.  At least we know she likes them!  :)   She said they would work on covering up the scratchy part somehow - duct tape maybe.

Bedtime snack - hoarding the pretzels (has 3 in the right hand and biting all at once):

No, I won't share with Mommy!

Amelia's card that she made you....

The red is bleed-through from the other side, not blood on your body - haha:

Our family, in flower form:

Usual bedtime.  Luca was crazy in the bath again.  I need you to come back and tame that.  He's resorted to standing and jumping back down into the water to see how high he can splash it...

Amelia and I got into it a little bit... but we worked it out and both apologized

We hope you have a GOOD and UNEVENTFUL day tomorrow!  My dad arrives in the morning.
