Today started off about half a step off the beat. We made it to swim right on the cusp of being late. We went to the library at nine (it's normally open at eight), only to find that on Fridays it does not open until eleven. So we went to Chick-Fil-A for some ice cream and play time... to find that their ice cream machine wasn't on yet (after all, they were still serving breakfast!) Had to pick up Zorak before John's swim class (b/c the Mistress is a persnickety thing that requires a battery we couldn't locate locally) and couldn't find him! John closed his eyes to nap as we pulled back into the pool parking lot. ARGH! No! Please, everyone take a deep breath!
We never did catch up, but it's ok because we did take a few deep breaths and plodded along in spite of our poor timing today.
The boys wanted supper by candle light, and why not? It's such a fun way to eat (provided there are actually enough candles to cast ample light onto the table so Mom doesn't accidentally scoop up a yummy spoonfull of mashed fruit to go with her bell peppers!) Talk led to the "how" and "why" and "what if" of candles and flames and, of course, a wonderful experiment on capillary action and vapor. Good stuff.
Jacob said, "Dada" today and clapped for all he was worth when Zorak heard it and looked up. Yes, Jordan, eye contact really is an incredible thing. He's also trying fervently to say, "more" and "yes". He's got the head nod down, but starts giggling before he can actually say anything.
It is Friday. We have two glorious days together and I am so very thankful. Cinnamon roll Saturday coming up! A neighbor girl's birthday party tomorrow afternoon (she is also turning four), some swim time, church, and at some point I simply must shampoo the carpets! (Don't know when yet.)
As for tonight, the boys are in the tub and will be out cold in about twenty minutes. The supper dishes are cleared. Zorak and I are going to watch The Mothman Prophecies and then clear our adled brains with a few episodes from The Family Guy. I'm hoping to get a foot rub out of it, too. We'll see how that goes. ;-)
Have a wonderful Friday night, all!
