A Day With My Boys

I had another day with just the boys yesterday. I am so lucky that I get to have have time with just them. I know they really like it, since I have to devote so much extra time to Gwyn.

I told them last week, and both boys were excited about it. As we got dressed, the boys decided it would be a red day, so we all put on red shirts. The next thing we did was "surprise" Pappy Grandma by dropping Gwyn off instead of dropping them off. Then we headed to Paul's Donuts for breakfast!


Next, it was the library. Colin wanted a pirate movie, so we checked out Scooby-Doo! Pirates Ahoy! Kevin was looking for more Junie B Jones books, but happened to find a series called Beast Quest. He loved it so much that we read the entire first book! He was so fun to read with. His eyes would open wide and he would get into the scary parts. He already told me that I can go to the library and get him more books. (As a Reading Specialist, I can tell you how much he comprehended, but I will be very excited when I do.)



After the library we headed to an early lunch, and then the pool. They had a wide slide in the kid area. All three of us went down it, but Colin didn't like it. Kevin loved it, and went down a bunch more times. We played "water hat" (Kevin's game where we splash each other), and Colin poured water over my head for a while. Then we went to pick up Gwyn and head home for naps.




That evening, since we had a busy day and short naps, the boys got to watch a bit of the Scooby-Doo movie Colin had picked out. After a few minutes Kevin hid under the coffee table. A little while later he asked me to turn it off. Colin said "I like it!" Kevin replied Watch it when I am not here." This movie was too scary for him:


Overall it was a GREAT day!
