Friday Family Fun

We have always tried to make Friday evenings a family time….time to relax, eat treats or eat out and be together.

Friday’s are feeling even more special these days as that is our first daycare kid free day after four loooooong days.   Adam is always thrilled to finally have me to himself again.

This Friday worked out really well.

Crunchy Husband was scheduled to spend the day at a film set so we arranged to get him to the skytrain early.   I had volunteered to take the two preschoolers to school and my daycare mom was taking Adam and her oldest to kindergarten where it was a special pumpkin patch day.

After all the dropping off, I had 3 hours all to myself.  A quiet house and time to relax.    Heaven.

Adam came home at 12:30, lugging an enormous pumpkin and sparkling eyes.    He had apparently gotten stuck in the mud and had had to be rescued by the teacher…the boots came after.  This was all enormous fun.

He was too excited for lunch and instead wanted me to review the Transformer troops.  So that is what we did till it was time to pick up Caity from preschool.

With my troops gathered, I asked if we could hit the mall as I really needed some new maternity pants.  The kids agreed and I promised that if they were good we would hit the dvd store after.

So $200 bucks later, mom leave the store happy….kids were angels…gasp!

Of to blockbuster where we picked up Meet the Robinsons and a Wiggles dvd and a load of candy, and after giving the dog a brief run we settled down for videos.

This kept us all snuggled till CH called for a ride home and then we were all pretty much ready for bed.  Where I ended up in Adams single bed again WITH Adam, Caity and the dog.  I think one of the cats was around too.

It was a really nice day.

It was peaceful and loving and cozy.

Today will be a bit crazy..the kids have a little Halloween party to attend after lunch.  But it will still be fun.

I like feeling at peace and knowing I have something decent to wear!!!!
