Last week Eric had campus safety training, so he was training his guys from 8-5 everyday and had to get all of his other work done before or after his regular hours. On top of that, his boss decided that it was a good week to care about the brown patches in the grass (instead of at the beginning of the summer when Eric proposed multiple preventative solutions, all of which were rejected by the same boss), which meant he had to do his best to fix/make function-able the lacking sprinkler system. Anyway, he was at work much more than usual and didn't get home until 7, 8, 9, or 10 every evening.
I watched Ruby every day last week except for Friday, which kept me very busy. I did manage to keep both kids alive and having fun (for the most part) all week along with regular cooking and cleaning. The house wasn't even a disaster when the weekend arrived. We also went on a few playdates, brought Eric dinner a few days (so that he could actually see John), and went on lots of walks.
John had his doctor appointment on Wednesday. He is growing so fast. He is now 25 pounds and has gained about a pound a month since his last checkup. The doctor gave me lots of good advice on how to do timeouts, a now regular part of our lives. He also said that John's social abilities are great and he loved to see him playing with Ruby.
On Friday, Brendan came over for the morning and then Kelly took us out to lunch at Schuler's. The boys had a blast playing in the little house and driving the trains around the track. John wanted to take a few trains home with him. After that, we both took a nap and then met Becki and Judah (who is a week older than John) at Java Gym (which is sadly closing this week). John and I then met Eric at Kuyper for a student leaders dinner and hung out for a bit, went grocery shopping, and came home. Eric got home shortly after I got John to sleep.
Saturday Eric had to go in to work for the morning, so when he got back, we went on a family outing to Cabella's to look at fish and guns and ate at Chipotle. John was hilarious while we were eating. There was some reggae or folk music playing and he kept dancing to it in his high chair. It was pretty adorable. We picked up a redbox movie (for free!) on the way home and put John to bed together. Then, Eric made popcorn and I made smoothies and we had an awesome date night together. Great way to end a much-too-busy week.
