The Christmas Farm Inn is such a wonderful place. We woke up to a beautiful view to the White Mountains in the distance and snow all around. The nice thing about going on the trip through the snow was to wake up to all new snow on the ground. It was so beautiful. We were up early because Andrew was up early. I got up with him and let him watch a few things on the iPad. I watched some things on my tablet as we woke up into the day.
Once Allison and Eva were up we got dressed to go to have breakfast. Breakfast was included in our stay and it was delicious. The main building has a common room and a quaint dining room. There were about eight choices for breakfast and they were all very good. There was plenty for the kids to choose from. In addition to the meals we could order there were muffins and more to choose from. We ate well.
After our breakfast the kids and I went and played in the snow. They made snow angels and threw snow at each other. They loved the snow so much. Continue reading Thanksgiving Day Table Nap→
I no longer get to sleep on Fridays. Allison is working and so I have Andrew for the day until Allison and Eva return from school. So I try to wear the kid out as much as possible on Friday so I can get a few moments of downtime and peace and quiet. I love the kid so much but he is non-stop when he is awake. So, my plan is to wear him down in the morning with Play Group and while it is still nice out we can go for walks in the woods or to a playground. Today we took a walk around Oak Knoll Audobon Sanctuary.
Our walk was a decent one. We walked out to the pond which was all covered in leaves and not very pond-like. We walked along some bridges and Andrew had fun running along them as quickly as he could. He jumped on little rocks and checked things out. He generally had fun and only asked me to pick him up and carry him a couple of times. I could tell he was tired.
We stopped at one spot that had a little teepee and some seats made out of logs and branches. We stopped there on the way out and the way back to share his snack. On the second time back through I set up my camera on the set that Andrew is in and took a timer shot of us.
He slept for an hour and a half but I didn’t sleep while he slept. Always one more thing to do.
Luckily when Allison came home I got an hour nap in.
