Happy birthday to Marcy!!

Today's been a pretty quiet day so far. We had breakfast of toast, McHardwicks, peaches, and reconstituted blueberries. Then we played in the porch while I transfered the cardboard recycling to a box; our recycling is overflowing. Jonathan drew a bit on his chalk easel, but that got boring (and chilly) pretty quickly. We drove some trucks around, chased the cats a bit (and gave them treats), and played in his room before his nap.

Meanwhile, I thought we'd have our flooring estimate by now, so I've left a msg with our first guy today. So far, nothing. The second guy, who came by yesterday, seemed a bit strange, but he had good reviews on Angie's List. The third guy, who speaks little English but also comes highly recommended, will be by later tonight. I talked with our general contractor who said we could still get the whole kitchen done in time for Christmas! wahooo!!

We had a playgroup today at 3-4:30 that we attended. Saw some familiar faces and met some new ones. He would not leave the plastic house there; at one point, there were 4 toddlers inside it! J2 went down at 4, since his first nap wasn't too long and he yawned on the way home. The second and third floor guys came by this evening. So, now we're just waiting on the first guy's quote. We couldn't pick up Dave for two reasons: 1) J2 was asleep, and 2) the floor guys were expected between 5-6 and showed up at about 5:50.

The Hardwick men are watching a Little People DVD (that's with Eddie and Frankie), and Jonathan is actually into it! I can hear him pointing out the t'ucks, balls, and woofs! hmmmm, what's for dinner........

Well, our little angel managed to stay awake until OUR bedtime (circa 10:30). I popped in once to find that he had thrown his pacifiers out; when I returned them, he settled down, but that was around 9:30. He was still chatting to himself when our lights went out!
