Autumn covered with
mud, thus began a messy
adventure |
This week actually began on Thursday. Ryan and the kids were in Clarksville again, this time Sunday through Wednesday. Ryan was wanting to trade in his truck and get a car from the same dealership since he's kept in touch with the salesman, blah blah blah (I won't bore you with that :-p). The car was taking a while to get ready, and we thought they would be there one or two nights tops. It was totally fine though, since the kids had a ball with their cousin and their grandparents. I for one was all by my lonesome, which was alright. I'm not going to say I totally lived it up but it was definitely bizarre. Although I forgot how nice it was actually wake up on my own and have some coffee without telling the girls to stop acting psycho!

The girls loved seein their
cousin! |
By Wednesday I was missing Ryan and the girls pretty good. I was so glad to see them, even though the girls were sobbing something fierce from being so tired. I can understand that feeling for sure. Autumn had to take a nap the next morning to finish catching up on sleep. Hannah and I jumped right back into her school work the next morning (Thursday) which was wonderful and productive. Ryan said Hannah was reading various signs on the drive home like "Wal-Mart" and "Starbucks"...just sounding them out using those handy phonics rules she has learned. ;-D
Autumn is all about books these days! Makes me want to jump for joy! She will cram as many books as she can in this one basket (which I used to use to keep diapers in) or a tote bag, drag it to either her room or the couch, and sit there looking at all of them. once in a while she will ask me or Ryan to read one to her. I have pretty much given up trying to fight her to take a nap so I let her sit in her bed and look at books, which has gone beautifully!!! So now both girls have quiet time. Hannah has hers on the couch in the school room since that limits the misbehavior that would undoubtedly occur. Autumn is now becoming distressed that she can't look at books at bedtime. I suppose eventually we can work something out to where both kids can look at books quietly for a half hour or so before lights off.
