What I have done on my vacation, parts 5 and 6
January 1, 2007
The day began yesterday with a hike on the concrete trail of Pflugerville's Northeast Austin Municipal Park. The kids hated it (but I am an evil mommy and am going to start enforcing weekly doses of traipsing around outdoors) but I loved the trees
(sparse though they were) and even saw what I think was a great blue heron, although I was too surprised and amazed to take a picture. After I recovered from the shock and realized what I was looking at, it flew away, and kept evading camera capture. The boys weren't helping with their loud complaining. hahahaha. I am the worst mom in the world. I kept telling them to save it for the PILLOW FIGHT, which got underway shortly after our late dinner.
The boys both stayed up until midnight to ring in the new year playing video games. I was bouncing around asking them if they wanted to bang together pots and pans or whatever, Coley said "No." Quite flatly. Monk said "I'm not a lunatic." and when I yelled happy new year out the door, he said "Now all of the neighbors think YOU are a lunatic...and I am son of a lunatic."
Ah, nothing like jaded, video game playing kiddos. I sent them to bed shortly thereafter! Teach THEM to be ambivalent about the new year!
Of course, Coley woke up at 8 AM, which means guess who else woke up at 8 AM? ME. That's who. He's all "I need to have my morning snuggle, or I will be grouchy all day, mom." Who can refuse that kind of threat?
*sigh*
One whole week left of my vacation! Unbelievable. I have forgotten what it is like to go to work.
