Super Long Day

We got a late start today due to some poo issues even though we woke up at the butt crack of dawn! (See how that all ties in together, Hee Hee) Poor Wyatt was having a hard time (pun intended) and I had to hold him while he cried and worked things out. Then Conner decided he'd take an 8-10 minute long bathroom session. So, we got out late and went to the Foothill gym instead-luckily I had already bought babysitting sessions there a while back- so we scooted in quickly and I got to the class only 5 minutes late. Bobbe was there teaching the 24 Lift/Set class and I've taken her at the RSM gym before- I like her and she works your legs and butt like crazy. I'm ALWAYS sore after her class.
When we got home Wyatt went down for a nap and Conner watched Pocahontas while I got lunch ready. Paisley, Avery, and Tanna stopped by to see if Conner could play out in the tot lot. I chatted with Fawn while the kids played in the sand for a bit.
Wyatt woke up and ate. We got ready to go to the beach!

Conner's new smile.

This is what happened on the way to the beach. NighNight sleepy head. I thought for sure we'd have to go home. I couldn't get him to wake up. I messed around with Wyatt for a bit in the back of our car then tried to wake him one more time. He was a little shaky and disoriented but once he saw the train tracks he was awake! Yes, he was eating blue sidewalk chalk.

There weren't a lot of people but one family with 5 kids made their way to our little spot to play with the tons of sand toys I brought down. The family was from Spokane! Go figure! They even lived in Pullman for a while (which is 8 miles from where I grew up). I chatted with the mom for quite a while. She was nice.

As you know, the train runs through this area several times in one hour. Conner would hide behind me and peer at it with excited eyes. Wyatt just smiled and bounced to the noise of the engine. Ha Ha.

Conner really did not want to leave. When I told him one more time on the slide he would run around and say, "Yun Mo" (one more). Finally I had to be all dramatic and say, "Oh no Conner! We've got to go or we're gonna get a ticket on our car! We don't want to get a ticket!" Then another mom chimed in with me. Conner decided he did NOT want a ticket and ran for the car.

We drove to Josh's work cuz we knew he was going to be pulling an all nighter. It was a great surprise...my phone ran out of battery so I didn't call to tell him we were coming. We got Bapas and daddy to go to dinner with us to Jalapenos. Afterwards they played outside around the fountain for a few minutes then we all went our separate ways.

When we got home I put Conner to bed then WoWos but Conner was crying...so after I put Wyatt down I laid down with Conner (not uncommon-we usually do this or "Rock Sing" him) and waited for him to fall asleep. He kept putting his arm over my neck and putting his nose right next to mine. He fell asleep, then I fell asleep. I just had to soak up that moment, before I know it he won't want us to do those things anymore.

I woke up and now I'm blogging. Like I said, Super Long Day. But I intend to go to bed in a matter of moments!!
