Let me tell you about our new schedule....
Monday: Arick is on a bowling league with his Dad and Uncle, so that means Jacob and I have a night at home alone! Tonight I decided we would have a picnic dinner in the living room while watching a movie. I partly started this because neither Jake nor myself are feeling 100% right now and it seemed like a cozy fun idea that would hopefully encourage Jacob to eat a little something. FYI: 3 apple slices...better then nothing.
We watched Monsters VS Aliens and at first I thought there was no way Jacob would watch it. Figured it would for sure be over his head, but he laughed at the funny parts and said Uh-oh at the, well, Uh-oh parts.
After dinner we got all dressed for bed and made a cozy spot on the couch to cuddle. 80% because I love to cuddle with my little man and 20% because my head feels like it is going to EXPLODE!
Jacob was asleep by 7pm and boy how he needs a good night of sleep so lets hope he is in a deep deep sleep until 6am tomorrow morning. So there is our Monday night and I personally loved it. I think a picnic dinner, movie and cuddle time on the couch will be a new part of our Monday night routine. Sounds perfect!
Tuesday and Wednesday's Arick will be working for the UW Marching Band as a field assistant.
He goes directly to the practice field after work and gets home about 6:15pm everynight. That is only a half hour after I get home, so our evenings are about the same as usual. Well except for 1 thing. Normally I come home to dinner but now that we are both not getting home until late we start to get creative with the slow cooker! Arick loves working with the marching band and I love it too! He has some pretty great friends that he and I will get to see a lot more and this is a HUGE perk...
Do you see the tiny black suites on the side lines? Yup that is him! He gets to conduct from the sidelines and see the entire game from the field. LUCKY LUCKY guy! He has such a love for marching and music. This really is something I would never ask him to give up. No matter how crazy our life will get.
I should do another post about the marching band....hmmmm OK that will come later. I really must tell you about the fun experiences he has had with them and the wonderful people/kids that make up the UW Marching Band!
Alright so back to our FALL schedule...
Thursday's Arick comes home per summer schedule and picks Jacob up from daycare, makes dinner for us (love this part!) and it is either a TARGET night or a low key night at home.
Friday's Arick is back with the marching band and home early for the Saturday game!
Saturday's are a new adjustment for me. In the summer our weekends are all planned out. We don't have to think about what we are going to do we just check the calendar and "it" tells us. Now that Arick is gone for the day I am trying to find a good balance for Jacob and I, and I think Iam getting there. Of course by the time I am there it will be summer and time for the calendar to rule our lives again.
OK so now we are to Sunday! The only day we get as a Family all together. This day is just for us and we like to do whatever it is that we feel like doing. Last Sunday we went for a drive and ended up at this really cool playground in Jefferson. It was at an elementary school that made me think of the school in Harry Potter. Super cool stone building! Wish I had pictures to show you, but once again my camera is mad at my computer and they are not talking.
This Sunday was filled with a whole lot of nothin! We were all feeling under the weather and so a day at home was exactly what we needed. Now if this sickness would kindly leave that would be SUPER!
THE END
