Weekend with the boys by myself

Well I made it through my first weekend alone with the boys by myself. Kris needed some much deserved rest so he got a hotel room for the weekend and slept. He is definitely refreshed. I was able to get a lot of chores done and catch up on all my TiVo shows too. Since the boys are on Kris's schedule meaning they wake up pretty late I was able to get up long before them and get a lot of chores done before they even woke up. Then while they were taking naps I could watch my TiVo shows.

Side track: Have you caught the show The Big Bang Theory? I am such a dork but I love that show and some the jokes I think only geeks would laugh at. I was watching it last night too with Kris and he just kept looking at me for the things I was laughing at. I also love How I Met Your Mother which is on right before The Big Bang Theory. I didn't really get into until this year but I just think that show is hilarious too.

So the rest of the weekend: I fed the boys fish sticks for the first time and they loved them. They ate more than I did. And Trevor loves tarter sauce. I dipped his fish in my tarter sauce and he licked it off and gave it back to me to dip again. I read a lot to the boys and chased them around the living room. I really think I need more books because I'm really getting tired of Brown Bear, Brown Bear and Panda Bear, Panda Bear... But the boys enjoy them. They even flip through them themselves and the books are upside right most of the time now.

We took a walk on Saturday and Alex just had so much to say. He was talking to everything. There weren't very many people out but he was talking to the trees and squirrels and the monkeys. When we walked past the zoo the monkeys that are by the rhino were screaming and making all kinds of racket. Alex just kept talking. The monkeys weren't moving so I don't think the boys could see them.

It was really a lot of fun and the rest of this month we'll be doing a lot of Halloween stuff. I'll actually be out of town on Halloween so I'm taking them to Halloween Nights at Greenfield Village this Friday. Then this Sunday we are going to the Zoo Boo with our Twins' group friends, and again we're going to the Zoo Boo with friends of mine from High School the following weekend. So at least I'll see my boys in their costumes a few times. I'll post pictures when the picture thing is working again.
