We had a bit of a treat for breakfast and then it was requested by max that we get the drum set up. We inherited some drums and he thinks this is the best thing ever. Today, after two hours, I got the drum set set up. I think you told me three or four times it was the best day of his life!
The girls were also pretty interested in the drums, and they all helped a little bit as well. After lunch he also helped me take down the Christmas tree. Each of them was helpful. It is amazing to me how much clearer really wants to help and do big things when she is just 2 1/2. The little scary the number times I find myself saying to her because you're two. David and I talk tonight about needing to find some chores that we call hers. She really wants to be a big girl too.
During nap we played a game for a while. Then, they got out dolphin tale. I spent a good 2 Hours helping Ellie with a craft project she got for her birthday- a tie quilt. I even skipped my exercises.
For snack we made our pop-pop with butter, salt, and Parmesan, and this is always a special for us. Everyone enjoys it!
The other thing we did was make the fixings for a dessert that Ellie picked out of her hairy Potter cookbook. This was very exciting to both her and Max. We proceeded to enjoy this dessert after a dinner of tacos. Mostly, everyone had a good day. There were a few moments of fighting over the new drums. And always a few moments disagree with mommy's rooms and Waze. But overall they were friendly, kind, helpful, loving, and just all around great to spend a day with. I wish we could have one mommy day a week without having to have anything to accomplish. I need to work on making more of these in my life!
