Yesterday was our first park day of the yr. It was so nice to let the kids run loose and us moms just chat. Of course, S wanted to just sit with mom again, so I luckily brought some toys and such to entertain her. I wish she'd go play, but she doesn't like being knocked around when playing. Oh well, guess that's fine for her. We also met 2 new moms to the group. Very nice ladies and one even had her dh stop by to meet us. I teased stating, they must be checking us out. I personally don't mind at all. I think it's nice when the husband/father gets invovled in the children's school stuff.
After we were done at the park, we stopped off at Walmart to pick up some things. Then headed home. Construction has finally started in our town. Our roads are just a mess from this past winters' snow fall. Due to all the snow plows, the road got scraped up pretty bad. What was funny was they had a sign up for awhile stating construction would start approximately one day, but it didn't even start until a week later. Oh well, at least now it's here.
Once we got home dh had left a message stating he was headed to his meeting and would call when he was out. So a few min after 5 the phone rings. It's dh ready to come home. He's had a long day. We get home and I get dinner ready. The evening was nice and quiet. I let the girls go outside for abit. It's nice to have the good weather again. But then it was time to settle for the night and little S wasn't happy about that. But, I finally got her in and settled. N was complaining of a headache so she went to bed with S. That doesn't happen much. N likes to read with R most nights, so for her to not want to meant her head did hurt.
Once the kids went to bed, dh did his stuff online while I watched a bit of tv. It was getting close to our bedtime, but I wanted to check emails and some other stuff for a bit. So dh went off upstairs to relax and wait for me. Pretty soon 30 passes and dh is appearing around the corner withi his phone up to his ear. Work has paged. This was 10:30. I went to bed shortly after this and several times got woke by S with her bad dreams. I looked over and see that dh still isn't in bed. It's 1:30am. I think he finally got to bed around 3, but not sure. Anyway, another tired night and still has to go to work today. I'm really starting to feel bad about his on call weeks. Lately they've all been long and tiring.
R has been going through the piles of books we've gotten for his Eagle project. Quite a few and we're still expecting more. I'm glad this project has worked so well. And that the boys have helped out really well. I think R will be very glad when it's complelely over with. When he first started it, he was so full of energy about it. Now he's lost a lot of steam, but is still doing well. He's been keeping his report updated and as detailed as he can without seeming to be a smart alec. But they do want details so that's what we're doing. :)
