Yesterday was pretty wonderful. We had MOPS in the morning, which was nice because I hadn't been there for a long time. I told the nursery workers that Corban has been biting, so to watch him. When I went back to get him she said that he hadn't bitten at all, but was pretty rough with the other kids. I need to get him some play dates so that he can get more used to being around other kids. After I came home and had lunch, I headed out for the alone part of my day. I wasn't ready to Christmas shop yet, and didn't even go to places where I could do that. Honestly, I went to three craft stores, the Christian bookstore, Kohls, and Gabriel Brothers (that place make Big Lots look like a major department store). I got some stuff for some Christmas projects, and the new book The Shack. Everyone is talking about it, so I thought I would give it a shot. When I got home, Johnny even had dinner ready and the kitchen cleaned up. After dinner he even washed the rest of the dishes!

I think Johnny had a little bit of a difficult day with the kids. Corban had falled asleep on the way home from MOPS, so he didn't want to go back down for his regular nap. Caden didn't help. We haven't given him too many bottles, just because I've always been with him. So, Johnny had a hard time getting him to take the formula. We decided we're going to work with him on this so that I'm not so tied to him and/or feeling bad when I do need to be away from him.

So far this morning Corban and I spent about an hour outside raking leaves. This was not my intention, I HATE yard work, but we were out there and it was something to do. I think Johnny will be surprised when he sees what we did. Caden has been snoozing in the pack-n-play. He's been much better about his morning nap lately, so that gives me and Corban some time together. By the way, Caden has been in a crib in his own room for the last three nights! Corban was 4 weeks when we moved him to the nursery, Caden is almost 4 months! HOnestly, it's as much me as anything, I was waiting until he was sleeping through the night pretty well. He's doing OK. Sometimes he gets up in the night, sometimes not until 5:30. Well, it's time to get Corban's lunch around, and the baby will be waking up soon too. I've got a TON of stuff to do today because JOhnny's parents are coming in the morning. I'm going to make a cheesecake, and try to get Saturday's dinner (stuffed shells) together so that I don't have to do that, plus I need to wash towels and clean bathrooms. Have a great weekend everybody!

Don't knock Gabriel Brothers! And I haven't heard of The Shack, but didn't your Mom and Dad write that when you were in college?? :)

I'm doing kinda ditto of Sherry's comments-- Caden looks huge and I also haven't heard of The Shack. You'll have to let us know if it's worth reading.

Am I the only one that thinks Caden is doing a pretty good impression of his Uncle Tim these days???
