Day 259

Today was ok. I didn't get up until 7 cuz I knew I wouldn't have to get completely ready right away, so I got dressed and went downstairs. I got some of the boys breakfast, and my own, and then came up to do my eye shadow, wandered back down to do Zach's flash cards with him, fold laundry and say bye to Heloise, and then came upstairs to finish my make up before Josh did his homework.

When I went back down, I made sure the other 2 were in the playroom staying quiet so I could for once, listen to just Josh while he read. It was nice. In the middle of it, Nathaniel walked in, sat at the table, and did his math without me even asking him! So all the homework done, Nathaniel and Josh went back to play on the wii, and Zach and I were going to paint. After realizing we didn't have any paint brushes, we decided we'd just use crayons and pencil crayons. Eventually, Zach got bored and went to watch the rest of the Garfield movie that was on TV. I began drawing my own picture. The two of us sat on the couch, him giving me cuddles, while we watched Aristocats and I coloured my picutre in.

Eventually it was time to go to my Uncle's place for lunch. I got the boys ready and out the door after what seemed like forever, and we were on our way. Before going in the house, we talked about best behaviour and no tantrums before swimming lessons. Apparently the talk didn't work. All that aside though, I got some wonderful baby cuddles from my little cousin Emily. She fell asleep on me and until the boys woke her up 3 times, and she gave up trying to go back to sleep, it was really nice. She still let me hold her after the fact, but I was not happy with the boys.

I took Nathaniel and Zach to their swimming lesson, and from there, we hurried back to my Uncle's for dinner. The pizza was great, and there wasn't much time afterwards, so I quickly cleaned up while all of the cousins were being bathed, we all said goodbye, and came back to the house. Nathaniel and Zach rode in my vehicle, and Josh went with Heloise. When we got back, they went straight up, I talked to Heloise for a bit about tomorrow's plans, and then spoke to my Mom :D

Now I'm watching Gavin and Stacey. Good Night xx
