Last night Mamie and PopPop watched The Mayor and Love Bug so D and I could have a much needed date night. The kids were so excited to go to their house...even Love Bug who is usually on the fence about being left without her mommy and daddy. Apparently she only fussed for a few minutes...huge progress for our little girl! Another huge improvement is the fact Love Bug apparently became best friends with my parent's dog Ellie. Miss Love Bug is usually afraid of her own little shadow, let alone a dog that is 4 times her weight.
The Mayor helped Mamie make cookies, and according to Mamie, did a great job. He rolled out the dough, helped use cookie cutters and then decorated them. Last night they did gingerbread men. Tomorrow we are going back so they can decorate sugar cookies.
After a bath, both kids were asleep almost immediately. PopPop said he was certain he would have had a little boy coming out of the room several times trying to delay bedtime, but The Mayor proved them wrong. Not only did he fall immediately asleep, he slept in. I received a text from PopPop this morning after 8AM that my kids were boring because they were still sleeping. HA! Unfortunately, The Mayor woke up feeling a little under the weather. He wanted to cuddle with PopPop for about an hour this morning and then asked to lie down and be covered up because he was freezing. He didn't even get up when we went over there this morning to pick them up.
After we got home, we knew he had a fever. He only acts like this when he has a fever. My sweet boy just cuddled with D until he finally fell asleep a little after lunch. A long nap and some much needed rest, and our boy seemed back to normal by dinner time. Hopefully he wakes up still feeling well.
This week is going to go by quickly. We have cookie decorating tomorrow with Mamie, Meega and Bennett and Tuesday is The Mayor's last day of school and Christmas party. Thursday, the kids and I are going to meet D downtown for lunch and some fun Christmas activities in the city and Friday starts D's vacation at home. He will be off from work until 2012!
