Sometimes I make these big plans for the night during the work day. But then, on my way home, I get so tired that I find it hard to stay motivated. However, last night was NOT one of those nights! I stopped at Michaels and bought yarn and crochet hooks. I actually found a beginners book that came with a set of hooks. After I got Easton to sleep (5 tries later), I hunkered down in the chair with a piece of cake and my crochet supplies. I did get a few rows done. I'm afraid it's not even though. And I'm not quite sure what I'm doing wrong. Trying to learn from a book might be my first mistake. I'll have another go at it tonight.
I also took the boys into Kohls. My first mistake here was not taking in the stroller. My 20 lb. baby is really too heavy to be lugging around in the car seat carrier.
Omar convinced Nolan to get these UGLY Tony Hawk shoes. Apparently they're the cool kind. The only problem is they had laces. And yes, I know it's bad, but neither boys know how to tie shoes. But, I figured its now or never, and let him get the ugly shoes. Omar gave me the silent treatment because it wasn't fair that Nolan got new shoes and he didn't. In the truck, Nolan told me that he wanted shoes like Omar has. Really???? He couldn't have told me this IN the store, BEFORE we paid for them!! In the end, they ended up trading shoes. Nolan with the hope that i'll buy him a newer pair. After dinner, I sat down with both of them and tried to teach them how to tie. Nolan really takes after me in that he gave it a whole 2 tries before he got frustrated and gave up. Omar is just like his dad, patient as patient can be. And he did it!!!! Then he did it again, and again, and again!!! So proud of him. And the smile on his face when he did it was awesome.
I also changed the dirtiest diaper I have ever changed! Yowza! Let's just say it was so dirty, I threw his onsie right in the trash.
Nick was holding Easton. I walked away from him and he started screaming. I walked toward him and he smiled. So I walked away again, just to test. And he started screaming. Aaahhh, he loves his mommy!! ; )
As comfy as the couch looked when I finished all my nightly chores, I made myself put all the clothes away in my room. And I felt SO much better once I did. Hey, it's not much, but it's something done that needed to be.
