A day in PIX, plus a great ending to Jonah and the Whale

We had lots of running around to do today, so I made sure I had my camera and pulled it out so often to snap a picture.   Here we go with our day! 

9 AM PLAY CLASS AT A GYM TALE

Janna takes the task of catching the bubbles at the end VERY seriously, unlike the boys who just run around stomping and swatting at them

10 AM GROCERIES

11 AM HOME FOR LUNCH.  

The kids seem to have moved past their lunch game obsession of showing off their throats.  Their new thing is to SCOWL at me.  One will start, and the other one will join.  And they will just sit there and scowl until I notice.   It's kind of freaky.  I tease them by giving the glare back and saying, " DON'T SCOWL AT ME"  And it always cracks them up

12 NOON.  Grab daddy from work to drive him to a cappies conference at a difference school.

1 PM NAPS!
They always run up the stairs and both into Jesse's bed.  I ask them if they are going to actually sleep if I let them stay together.  Today Janna laid right down.  I did not give into this cuteness, and they napped in separate spaces!

3PM OB APPOINTMENT AT DR. PASCALI's

Janna is chewing on a hammer waiting for the Doc to arrive.  35 weeks and all is looking good!

4PM EARLY SUPPER

Pancakes.  Gluten free yogurt brown rice flour.  Good for a busy day.  Easy and everyone eats them with zero complaints

 5 PM CHIROPRACTOR
Janna stayed home with dad, and Jesse and I went to see Dr. Mike.  I have always referred to him as DR. Mike or "The back doctor,"  but today I made the mistake of calling him the chiropractor.  "We are going to go in a pyro-tractor Mommy?!?" was Jesse's response.  After a 15 minute van ride trying to explain that there is NO tractor ride in the near future, and Dr. Mike is a doctor for the back and that is called a "chiropractor,"  I thought he understood.  However, in the middle of my adjustment, Jesse pipes up, " Excuse me- doctor Mike- can I see your pyro-tractor?  I want to go for a ride in it"

6PM TECH HOUR

We had a skype date with nana and poppie and great nannie and great poppa, as well as a few minutes on the Ipad before our night routine started

7PM BED TIME!

We have a slight change of bed time routine with the 2 of them bunking together now.  After teeth and face washing,  and PJ's are on, Dave and Jesse climb into his bed, while I snuggle and rock Janna in the same room.  Dave tells a bible story, and says a prayer, then mommy sings 2 songs.  Jesse picks one and Janna picks the other.  Dave and I switch kids for a quick hug, and then off we go.  Well, last night and tonight Jesse wanted Jonah and the Whale.  Dave did a great job with all the facts, no intense embellishments, I was there!  However- when recounting the story to me in the car on the way home from the "pyro-tractor,"  I had to bite my tongue from laughing out loud with Jesse's rendition.  I will leave you with his version

As remembered by Mommy from Jesse, 

" Once upon a time, a long long long time ago, was Jonah.  Jonah was a good man.  Yep.  He was a good man.  He went on a boat and there was wind and rain and a storm, and he said he was why.  And so... they THROWED HIM oFF THE BOAT! And he went down...down...down.... deep...deep..deep, and was WALLOWED by a WHALE!  And he didn't like that very much, and so he kicked the whale.  And he broke the whale, and the whale spitted him out.  And then Jonah's back was willy sore, and so he went to see Dr. Mike to fix it.  And then he went home to his mommy and daddy and they said, " we missed you so much."  And guess what? It was Jonah's birthday, and he had cake and blew out the "handles."  And he saw everyone on the computer and on the phone.  He saw nana and poppie, and gwammie, and grandpere, and great nannie and great poppa, too.  And then he got to play the I-Pad and Jonah go to bed.  The END." 

Hope you all have a great night.  It is now 8:00 and these 5 loads of laundry are anxiously awaiting my folding!
