A Much Less Hectic Friday

Abby came over at 7:45 this morning and played with Baron while I got breakfast ready.  Then, she helped me wake up Shawn.  He must’ve been in a deep sleep because he normally hears us coming, but this morning it took a couple of Abby’s giggles and pokes to get him to open his eyes.  Sleepy head didn’t last too long though.  Once his eyes adjusted to the gorgeous morning sunlight coming in the window, he was ready to get up and play – forget getting dressed! 
The kids were so focused on playing and rearranging the bookshelf (again and again), that they weren’t interested in coming down for breakfast until around 9 am, but since we don’t have music today, we don’t have anywhere to go until 1 pm.  There’s plenty of time to do our own thing this morning.  They definitely worked up their appetites though.  Abby wolfed down her chocolate chip pancakes and Shawn gobbled up his cheesy omelet.  It probably would’ve been easier to hose them down afterwards, but about a dozen wet-wipes finally did the job.  Then it was time to play some more!  If all goes well, we’ll get a nap in before it’s time to go to Family Gym this afternoon…
Success!  Both Abby and Shawn were fast asleep before 11:30 am.  It’s a good thing that Family Gym was followed by Open Gym this afternoon, they weren’t up in time to make it to Family Gym and I didn’t want to wake them after just an hour nap.  Abby woke around 12:45 pm and Shawn didn’t wake until 2 pm - and that’s only because we woke him up!  We made it to Open Gym for a little while before we needed to be home in time for Bill to get Abby.  I’m glad they had a chance to run around and burn off some energy though.
