Today was a rainy fall day, as tropical depression Ophelia came through. Sam and I went to the library for a bit and Liam walked on his own to Starbucks!

This suuuucks 

When I put Sam down for his nap today he said "dank ooo" (thank you) Tonight at bedtime I put him down and he said "good night!"  Now he is saying good night to his toys, Walton style. "Night night sea horse, night night shark, night night Thomas, night night bus...."  I might just go scoop him up and hold him all night long... 

Matt kept Liam during the day for a few days this week over break. That was the first time he's ever done that! I decided to put Sam in daycare as well, just to stick to our routine. Without realizing or planning it, I ended up with two kid free days. Holy moley.  Yesterday i worked on Sam's room and took the dresser downstairs for Odila to take. Then i went to Christine's. She was in a similar situation so we met up for coffee. Such fun times!  I went for a run and them I showered.  Today i spent the morning organizing the first floor, putting dishes away etc. Then i met Jill and Christine for coffee at Ragged Edge and a walk. We walked to the school but then went to Culps Hill. Then we took the long way down. 5 miles later... what a day.  I enjoyed these two days. I really needed the break!
