FRIDAY without Brian

October 18, 2008 in Chance, Crafts, Personal Entries with 4 Comments

Brian is out of town this weekend.  He left early EARLY Friday morning and won’t get back till Sunday afternoon but he’s out strategizing how to get us to our multi-millionaire status, so I can’t complain, right?

Since it was just Chance and me, I wanted to make the most of it since he’s only going to be the only child for 19 more days… so this is what we did:

FRIDAY:

  • Plumper Pumpkin Patch with some of Chance’s preschool friends: Grant, Kassidy, Lukas, (and Adelaine), and Emma.  They had such a blast and played together so well :)  Other than the moment Chance wanted to pet the pigs, I did well too… HA!  When you ask him his favorite thing about the pumpkin patch, he says: “riding in the hayride behind the tractor with all my friends and you, Mommy!”  I could die, he’s so sweet!
  • Chance’s haircut (at Pigtails & Crewcuts), a little short, since I don’t know if we’ll get back in till the New Year.  
  • Lunch
  • Drive through carwash – Chance loves this.  What kid doesn’t???
  • Nap – for Chance.  I vacuumed the rig… and almost went into labor doing it.  What was I thinking?  At least it looks bomb diggity now.
  • After his nap, we went to Ceramicafe to use up the gift certificate from the Teague’s.  Chance picked to paint a mug for his Daddy’s upcoming birthday.  This amused him for an hour and a half.  He was SO concentrated on this project because he wanted his Daddy’s birthday mug to be PERFECT!  THAT amazed me :)
  • Dinner
  • Ice cream & board games at Toll House Cookies.
  • Drive home and talk about Jesus being a Pirate.
  • Bath & Bed.

The best part of the night for me was our “snuggle time” before bed.  This is the time I usually take to tell him what parts of the day he made me proud and happy.  When I asked him what were some of the favorite parts of his day.  He said, “Playing with you all day, Mommy!”

And that’s when my heart fell out of my chest.

It was a long day.  Chance was tired and slept well.

So did his Mom.  :)

What are some inexpensive things you do with your kids that let the know you are invested in them?

Chance’s Theology at Age 3

Real conversation between my son and me tonight:

Chance:  ”Mommy… I don’t want to go to bed tonight because of the monsters in my room.”

Me: “Honey, I promise to check in on you often and keep you safe.  But do you remember who protects you most when you sleep?”

C:  ”Yes… Jesus.”

M:  ”Yes… so there’s nothing to worry about.”

C:  ”Because Jesus fights with the monsters and wins.”

M:  ”Yes, Jesus battles evil all the time and wins.”

C:  ”It’s because Jesus is a PIRATE.”

WHO IN THE WORLD TOLD HIM JESUS WAS A PIRATE??? 

I bet it was Tyler Braun!
