We had a great dinner with our friends Julia and Jason from college last night - it was so nice to see them. The kids behaved pretty well, as well as can be expected. I got home with the kids and realized we are more on a schedule than I realized. Bo did not want to go to sleep. Period. I put him in his crib, he rolled onto his tummy and proceeded to lift his head continuously - as to avoid going to sleep. I had to pull out the big guns (the pre-bed bottle, warmed) to get him to sleep.
We are going to see Drew run in a school fun run this morning - something about watching 25 five-year olds run 25 laps while overcaffeinated traveling track coaches cheer them on should be interesting. He raised money for the school by getting sponsors. The top prize offered was an I-Pod. In order to get the coveted I-Pod, you'd have to raise (in essence) more than $2500. Yeah right. I told him we'd rather just get him an I-Pod someday than do that. At least I was careful to not tell him Santa would bring it. That's over Santa's budget for a 5-year-old.
Speaking of - anyone with any verbal interaction with the kids (family and friends, you know who you are) - this is a VERY impressionable time for them. We are within three months of Christmas. Any goody is up for grabs from Santa. Especially things they're cousin has. I just need to talk to my sister to plan for the kids gifts. Whatever my nephew gets will be the coveted item in our house.
I'll try and get some snapshots of the big run...
