Ah, what a morning. We woke up to the plastic recycling guys at about 6 and then the normal garbage guys around 8. Then Jonathan woke up around 9. So much for sleeping in...or maybe that is for parents!
While Dave entertained Jonathan with a Little People video, I scurried down stairs to make breakfast for everyone: custom McHardwicks for all. Jonathan also got his 'bu-bay-Es,' 1/2 of a banana, and some toast. Dave got a honey water. And, I had my McHardwick, tea, and J2's leftovers.
I had the best intentions of getting some leaves up, but every time I went out, it seemed to pour harder. Guess it wasn't meant to be. I only managed to get the back porch and the front walkway. The Seton Hall Habitat for Humanity was supposed to come today, but the weather is too crappy.
We were playing with a bunch of balls in his room, and he was putting them into a glass jar (I think a roasted red pepper jar). It was pretty neat to watch him figure out which ones would fit and which ones needed to be poured out because his fist was too big to pull them out. It only took him a couple of tries. I also put a headband on his head. I cried laughing (mean, mommy): he couldn't figure out where it was in order to pull it off. Much unlike his hats, a headband is much harder to locate.
I lead the charge to get outside and rake up the leaves. All three of us were out there. Jonathan wasn't as helpful as I had hoped, but he explored around the property while I raked the front and Dave leaf-blew (?) and raked the back. Poor guy has the blisters to prove it.
Now, it's on to Omaha Steaks as a reward for our hard work today. Dave even offered to grill them! I'll happily wash dishes for that!
