The thing about not taking the sleeping pills or the anti-anxiety pills at night is that I have dreams back but they are kind of creepy dreams and I awoke a couple times last night sweating and generally not in a great mood.
The sun wasn't even very bright but the kids were up at 6:45. We ate breakfast and we were on our way to pick up Jo and Tony. The best part of Spring is Saturday rummage sales. It was St. Norbert's in Northbrook - we left with a few bags of puzzles, felt doll clothing pieces, Cars racing cars, a pizza game and some other things that got tossed into the pile and put in the bags. Tony got his new girlfriend, Jessie (from Toy Story 2). Then we went to a Boy Scout Sale in Park Ridge - totally thought we would get some good stuff for the boys but nope it was all girls stuff. Ellie got her Summer wardrobe - all Hanna Andersson and Talbots Kids - 2 full bags for less than $20. Ellie also found a new American Girl arts & craft kit and book - was a total score.
We stopped at Target to pick up some lunch stuff and headed back home. It became pretty obvious that it was nap time but no one wanted to nap. We took the double stroller out of the garage, grabbed a blanket and decided to take a walk - Ellie road along side of us with her bike. I guess it was the novelty of Tony and Nick sitting right next to each other but neither fell asleep. We ended up at the park.
We ended up pulling the sofa bed out and watching some videos. Rob and Dean came home (2 hours earlier than planned!) Jo and Tony got a ride home and we had massive amounts of laundry to put away. I don't know how but it seems to multiply when we need to bring it upstairs. Ellie decided it would be a good time to go through her dresser and take out whatever doesn't fit. Got 2 bags for passing along. Now I am waiting for the water to boil and the oven to finish up for dinner.
Glad to have Rob home - he gets bedtime back. Overall - another really great day. Tree
