The boys are still recovering from a weekend of fun at Papa and Mabel’s, so we’ve been having a lazy morning. We’ve done a couple loads of laundry today and Adam made that awesome necklace he’s wearing (and had a small tantrum when I wouldn’t get him “just one more” bead). Luke has visited time-out twice today (once because he wouldn’t stop slamming the door to the laundry room and again when he wouldn’t stop throwing the clean clothes around the living room).

Adam insisted on getting dressed in the new pajamas I got him over the weekend (I stayed home while the guys made the trip to my parents’ house), Luke refused to let me put pants on him, and I’m okay with that. Those are definitely battles not worth fighting today.

Right now Adam is playing a game on his “phone” (kindle) and Luke is watching cartoons. Nobody is yelling, fighting, or crying.

I’m going to chalk that up as a win and just keep it going the best I can until nap time.

Dave took yesterday off of work and helped get more things ready for the baby. The bassinet is all ready to go (complete with the new mattress covers I sewed over the weekend). He washed the swing and bouncy seat covers and reassembled them. He also put together the new rocker that the baby got from my sister, brother-in-law, and parents (thanks again guys). Adam declared the new rocker “magnificent” (I love that kid’s vocabulary) and told me he will stand next to it and rock the new baby.

I think that’s pretty much everything I had on my list. I just need to pack my bag for the hospital. That’s not really too big of a deal though – we’re about a five minute drive from there, so if I forget something it’s not exactly the end of the world.

The countdown is definitely on.
