2008_10_29 Wednesday

Today could be a busy day for us. Of course, all this is weather dependent...and assumes Jonathan gets up in the near future. He woke up at 10 and has been pretty cranky.

I think a local toy store (Sparkhouse Kids) has a jam session (ie sing along) at 11:30, although their website is still in progress and has no details. We went; Jonathan was a disaster. He wasn't paying any attention to the singer/performer, so we stuck it out for about 20 minutes, but I didn't want to torture her or the other kids for much longer. They have just started with this 'jam session' so we'll try again next week.

He's down for a nap now (at 12). I have some time to work on my freelance gigs, but I'm just not very motivated or inspired today (that makes it very tough to write inspiring articles). Maybe we're in the same funk. Hopefully he'll be in a better mood after a good nap. I'd love to hit the grocery store this afternoon if the weather holds.

We have our normal afternoon playgroup at 3:30-4:30, but we skipped it today. It was just too cold, and with him out of sorts, I figured we'd be better off playing alone at home. And, there's a Fall Fest costume parade in South Orange from 4-6. We missed that too.

We did pick up daddy at the train station; train was late, but he brought popcorn for Jonathan. I cannot believe how stinkin' cold it is here. We completely bypassed fall and are heading into winter full force. Although we raked and collected the fallen leaves last weekend, it's hardly noticable now with a fresh covering of wet ones. We'll go back out the weekend before the town collects them again, I'm sure. My neighbor was picking up her husband (we walked together, with two strollers) and said that surrounding towns did get trace snow falls. egads. So long, fall!

Everyone's home now. Jonathan had dinner of cheesy noodles and veggies with chicken fingers. Then he and Dave will have some QT time (ie bath and winding down play) before bed. Mommy and daddy have Indiana Jones, part 100 (?) tonight...surely with popcorn.

Oh, and Happy Birthday, Aunt Clair!
