The back retaining wall is DONE! Looking back, I guess the kids were just in good moods. Or the weather was nice enough so that they enjoyed being outside. We went up to the park on Saturday where Gwen got to swing on the swings and try to walk around on the pebbles. A new surface for her to try to walk on. Trevor met some friends there (not that he had known beforehand) and while I was very happy to watch him not have the urge to be a bully to any of the kids there, he did call out that he wanted to be God in a game that the kids were playing. The game was jungle where you had to crawl all over the jungle-gym and try not to fall off of it. If you did, you were in the water and had to swim or ride on the crocodiles. Trevor quickly said that he was God and Jesus and Jesus walked on water. Thankfully the moms in the area laughed it off and said that their kids would get a nice dose of CCD for the day. And really, if that is the worst thing that Trevor does at the playground, I will be a very happy mom.
He is loving all of his religious experiences. Through both preschool and Sunday School. He came home from preschool on Monday saying that he got to "be Adam". Their current Bible story is about Adam and Eve in the garden. He loves to talk all about it if you ask him.
But I digress...that was not part of the weekend. So the wall was finished on Saturday. Sunday, Trevor had Sunday School, and Gwen went into the nursery for the second time. I think the only problem with it, is that it ends up being right at the time where she likes to have a snack. And when she doesn't have a small snack she gets cranky. So when I come back to get her after an hour, she cries out for me. But I am assured that she has a fun time while in the nursery. I was even told she was talking away as if they understood exactly what she was saying. That girl is a talker already!
After church, the next activity was to take Trevor to the show "Playhouse Disney Live". There aren't any activities that Trevor and I do alone. I did go to his field trip for preschool, but I don't really think it is the same. Or maybe I'm not reading it right. Anyway, we've been talking about this show for a while. He was nervous going into the show. And we were like two minutes late getting to our seats as we were getting popcorn and the line wasn't moving. But when he sat in his seat, you could see he liked what was going on. Hands still in ears and everything. After about 15 minutes, his hands were off his ears and he was singing along to the songs he knew.
Playhouse Disney consists of the shows he sees in the morning on the Disney channel. He was probably on the old side of the age range, but it really was good timing with everything else coming up. He still really enjoys the shows, and is excited to go to Disney World in February. Back to the concert....the only downside was that it was a LOT shorter than I thought it would be. Probably best given the age group they were playing to. So from the show we went to dinner for my mom's birthday. Trevor, not having had a nap except for in the car on the way to the show was a bit short on calmness. But we did the best we could. Overall we have pretty good kids. The meal was yummy and the company was great.
But it was a busy weekend. I think it will continue to be busy weekends with the holidays coming up. A lot to prepare for! Oh, and with this weekend, I also found a lot of Halloween decorations that I've never used. So they were washed and used and Trevor loves that. Too bad we don't do as much decorating for Thanksgiving. Just Christmas...but that doesn't start until after Trevor's birthday. And yet Trevor is already asking about those movies and books. So much planning to do!!!
