Weekly Glance...

Weekly Glance (Monday, October 17th - Sunday, October 23rd, 2011)

• Had a pretty good week at school - no major issues however there were a couple of occasions where the boys were rough housing with each other and pushing and then not knowing when to stop
• Monday, Alexander woke up with a very raspy voice and a minor cough so he & Mommy had a sick day
• Mommy did have a dr appt on Monday so while Mommy went into her appointment, Mimi came to hang out with him for a bit (nice break in the day for both of them)
• Monday afternoon, Mommy & Alexander cuddled in bed all afternoon watching a movie to rest
• Thursday night, Alexander helped Mommy pack his backpack and books for our weekend in New Hampshire
• Half day at school on Friday, Mommy picked up Alexander after lunch 
• After a quick stop at Stop & Shop for some goodies for the weekend, we made the drive up to New Hampshire
• Alexander did great during the ride up - no nap and only asked if we were there yet about 100 times
• Once up at the house in New Hampshire, played with Marina and made a new friend with Ethan - the two of them played all weekend together
• The kids played a lot of Candy Land, Chutes & Ladders and cars together.  We even got them into some arts & crafts Saturday afternoon
• We took a nice walk to bring the kids to the playground on Saturday
• Saturday night was a nice evening - all kids were in bed asleep by 8:30p (they were tuckered out)
• Sunday morning, the kids played again (watching Peter Pan for the 50th time), and then we went outside to take some photos 
• After Alexander had some lunch, he & I headed back home....only 2 pit stops and no traffic!
• Sunday afternoon, Alexander & Daddy played outside for a bit - playing some football and then Alexander riding his bike (having his own race around the cars)
• He then worked on some homework (his class is rotating bringing home a "pet" and writing what the pet did while home with you)  - we took Wolfie the wolf to NH so Alexander drew a picture of the wolf in NH
