Good Weekend

It is nice to report that we had a good weekend at our house. Normally, we are ready to take the kids to daycare by noon on Saturday but that was not the case this weekend. Maybe it's a sign that things are getting better with Mason...I am not holding my breath quite yet though.

Saturday the boys hung out with Ryan while I cleaned the house. The rest of the time they played well and had a decent nap. We had a babysitter Saturday (annual Christmas party with friends).

Sunday was a great day. Mason and Ryan did their usual Sunday morning trip to Publix. Miller and I colored some pictures together. When Mason got back, he and Miller decorated Christmas bags for their teachers. I was surprised at how well both did. Mason didn't even eat too many crayons or stickers!

After that, I took Miller to Sugar Sand Park in Boca. We played for about 1.5 hours. It was officially time to go after Miller got clocked in the face by an adult swinging shoes. Miller had run behind him and he backed up at the same time. Miller cut his lip and was sad. The guy didn't speak english and I don't think he realized how hard he hit Miller.

We headed out to Wendy's to have lunch and of course, some ice cream for the cut lip. Miller ate his lunch like a champion so he could have ice cream afterwards. When we got home he went down for a short nap and about 30 minutes later, Mason was up. Go figure.

Mason and I played for about an hour and then switched with Ryan. We tag teamed back and forth the rest of the afternoon. Mason did more coloring and stickers with me in the afternoon and all boys played football. There were bike rides, walks, etc.

Before dinner, we had Miller babysit Mason (he plays with him in his room) so Ryan could cook and I could get a few work items started. They played for about 30+ minutes without any whining or fighting. Ahhh!

The other cute thing is we pulled out the Christmas bear statue. Mason keeps giving him hugs but of course, we never have a camera ready to capture it.

All and all, great weekend with the boys. Let's hope this is the beginning of an easier time with Mason.
