Cleaning up our acts...


Yesterday was baby bath day at our house and I had some good help from Einar. It was his idea for bath time while we were waiting for our dinner to arrive.* He is in charge of washing Soren's feet while I get the head, arms, and body. Soren really likes his baths and probably wishes that we would bathe him more frequently. Let's just say that he is in no danger of having his skin washed off from too many baths! After Soren was out of the water, Einar washed his baby. His baby is filled with styrofoam pellets and is totally washable.

Today we slept in late (around 9:45), ate breakfast, and painted a welcome home banner for Jared. I'll post a picture of that after he gets home on Monday (!!!!!!!!) so I don't ruin the surprise for him. Naptime turned into "quiet time" for Mr. Napskipper, but didn't make the evening any easier. Einar went into meltdown during dinner and had to go to bed early and without stories. All of his books also had to be removed from his room since I had promised earlier in the week that if he ripped apart another book, they would be taken away. He can still read, but only when he's in a room with someone else. I'll have to figure out a way for him to get them back.

Kathleen made us carnitas and rice and beans for dinner--delicious!
