Our {Eventful} Day

Most days aren't this busy, but for some reason today was!

5:50 Aaron left for work.

6:00 Connor woke up, so I brought him into bed with me.

6:30 I decided to finally get out of bed after trying for 30 minutes to get him to go back to sleep. He was just way too hyper.

6:40 I took Kylie outside and then grabbed breakfast from the lobby. It takes me two trips when I have to carry Connor. He ate a whole blueberry muffin, a piece of a boiled egg, and cereal. I ate cereal, a bagel, cereal, and the rest of his boiled egg.

7:00 I started to get ready for the day. Connor played until it was his turn to get dressed.

His mean face that he does quite often these days.

8:00 I took Kylie outside again, but managed to lock us out of the room. I had to walk Kylie, while pushing Connor in the stroller, to the front desk so they could make me another key.

8:30 Connor and I walked to the housing office (about 1/2 a mile) so we could get the form signed that allows us to stay in the hotel for free since we can't move into our house until next week. 

9:00 On our walk back to the hotel, Connor fell asleep. I tried to take a nap too, but he woke up when I was about to lay down.

10:00 I took Kylie and Connor outside for a short walk. Connor heard kids playing on the playground, so we walked in that direction. The little kids ran to pet Kylie when they saw her, so she got lots of attention.Connor really wanted to play, but it was too hard watching him and holding onto Kylie at the same time.

10:20 We came back inside and Connor watched the end of Mickey Mouse Clubhouse while he ate a snack: a banana and Cheerios.

 This boy loves bananas.

10:30 We played with his new tools and work bench.

 His happy and whiney, I'm not so happy face!

 Cheese!

:)

11:00 I walked to the post office and pushed Connor in the stroller. We had a couple slips in our mailbox for packages we needed to pickup, but they didn't open until 11:30. To kill time, we went to the library next door. I got info on how to download ebooks, then we went to the kids section. Connor "read" a couple books. 

My little bookworm.

11:30 We went to pick up our packages and then walked back to the hotel. It's like Christmas every time we get one!

12:00 We ate lunch. Connor ate his fettuccine alfredo just fine until he saw me open up a bag of chips. Then he wanted nothing to do with his lunch. I ended up giving him a few chips, mozzerella cheese, and wheat crackers.

 Yummy pasta!

 Kylie is always right next to him when he's eating.

 He was so happy because I gave him a chip.

1:00 I cleaned off all the stickers (from the flight to Italy) on Kylie's dog cage. Connor managed to spill her water bowl, so I had to clean that up while trying to keep him from stepping in the water. My mom called to FaceTime while I was finishing, so I talked to her for a little while until housekeeping came to clean the room. 

2:00 We came back into the room after housekeeping left, I put Connor down for a nap and called my mom back. We talked for a little while and then she talked me into taking a nap as well.

4:00 Connor slept for 2 hours and I slept for 1 1/2. I guess we needed it since we woke up so early. We took Kylie outside, once again and then came inside and played with Connor's toys and my tablet.

 

 She loves looking for lizards in the rocks.

6:15 Aaron called to tell me he was on his way home from work. We needed a couple things from the store, so I told him I would walk to the commissary and grocery shop, then he could pick me up on his way home so I didn't have to carry everything back to the hotel. I put Connor in the Boba and carried him on my back and started walking to the store. (If you haven't noticed, we walk a lot. I got an email today saying my car has arrived in Italy, but we have to figure out a day to pick it up.) When I was about half way there, my flip flop broke! I was frustrated and turned around and walked back to the hotel with one shoe on and the other in my hand. I felt bad, but Aaron had to grocery shop on his own.

6:30 I put Connor in the bath and started cooking dinner: tacos and rice. 

6:45 Aaron came home and I unloaded the grocery's. He bought more then I thought, so hopefully we wont have to go again this week. He jumped in the shower with Connor and I finished cooking.

7:00 We ate dinner. We were all hungry. Connor LOVED the rice. I served him seconds and thirds! 

Licking the plate clean.

7:30 While we were eating, Aaron told me I needed to cut his hair. We bought a brand new dual voltage trimmer, so I went to plug it in so it could charge. As I sat down we heard a "pop." I told Aaron that it must have been the trimmer. Sure enough, it was. I blew the fuse. I didn't realize I had to switch it to 220 Volts since all our other dual voltage appliances are automatic. Whoopsies! Thankfully Aaron was finished eating, so he ran to the PX to see if he could get a haircut. They were closed, so he bought another trimmer. When he got in the car he realized it wasn't dual voltage, it was only 110 volts. It was too late to go back inside because they closed.  Needless to say, Aaron wasn't able to get a haircut today.

7:50 I fed Kylie and Connor managed to sneak some when I wasn't looking. When I looked at him I could see him chewing, so I opened his mouth and was able to scoop it out. I don't know why he is so obsessed with her food bowls! 

8:00 Aaron came home and we took Kylie and Connor outside to play one last time before bed. There were other dogs outside, so Kylie got to socialize a bit. 

9:00 I gave Connor a bottle and brushed his teeth. I put him to sleep a little later then normal, but hopefully that means he will sleep in later? A mom can dream...
