Ah, Monday

You know it's not going to be a good Monday when you get up before 6 am. Waylon was up early this morning. Ever since he got a cold, he hasn't been sleeping so well. Then, poor Piper had some digestive, ahem, issues yesterday and last night. She left me a little present to clean up this morning. From that, it just spirals out of control.

It was pretty cold here today, but definitely warmer than the weekend. The boys and I got outside for the first time since getting here Thursday night.

Our checklist for leaving the house:
  • Potty and diaper change- check and check
  • Socks- check and check and check and check
  • Snowpants- check and check
  • Boots- check and check and check and check
  • Coats- check and check
  • Mittens- check and check and check and check
  • Hats- check and (after getting Byron's hat from last year for Waylon, he's outgrown his) check
  • Diaper bag- check
  • Library books- check

I've learned a trick of making sure I'm dressed before tackling the boys. If there's too much time between dressing and leaving the house one or both of them will lose some piece of clothing and then the list had to be repeated numerous times.

The boys were so stir crazy. We went to the library this morning and it was great. In the afternoon we headed over to Pamelas house. Byron was very excited to be reunited with Harper. They play so great together. We're waiting to hear if Pamela and family might be heading up to Minnesota. Selfishly, I'm hoping for a summer move. :)

Here's one of Waylon's latest tricks. He's very talented.
