We had our CPR class Saturday, it went well, and now we have been certified to perform CPR, administer First Aid, and operate an AED device. Cool, huh?
We did errands, hung the storage thingamajig in the boy room, and got a pretty early bedtime.
Sunday we went to Mass, and I left Matthew at home and met my Nephew and Sister at the Mall. I took my Nephew out and we went and spent my 70$ Hamilton Place Mall giftcard that I received from work. My nephew helped me decide what toys would be appropriate, which ones were fun, which ones were not so fun, and generally steered me in the right direction! We ended up with:
Boy:
Pull string racecar
Matchbox car playset
Play-Doh
Nerf football
Connect Four game
Dinosaurs
Girl:
My Little Ponies (a lot of them!)
Barbie
Mrs. Potato Head
Candyland board game
It was so much fun, and 70$ went very quickly! One of my coworkers was so generous and gave me her giftcard too, but I am going to wait until I can use it for more specific toys once I know exactly what the kids will like. Today was just me and my Nephew spending time and getting toys that should appeal to anyone. Did I mention we had fun? We came home, unpacked everything, played around with the toys, played connect four, watched those FRED youtube videos (and laughed our rear ends off).
I can't believe this is what 5th graders love.. it's so silly it's funny:
I drove him home in the Ford truck, stick shift. I didn't let it die once! I was so proud! So we went all the way up to Sale Creek to get the mirror for the dresser and by the time I was ready to head home my Dad was not going to let me drive the stick shift home, alone, at night, down Rossville Blvd. So, he, my Nephew, and My Sister took the truck and her car and all came down together! Dad got to see the house and the decor, and liked it a lot. I was so happy.
After they left I cleaned up a little, ate some cheese crackers and raisins (yum!) and then gave Matthew a much needed haircut.. what a day!
