Today was all about play groups, playgrounds, a Spinning Top and Operation Naptime. Despite it being Friday it was a good day. You might be saying to yourself, what is so bad about Friday? It is the start of the weekend. Well, for most people that is cause to celebrate. For me it is cause to completely flip myself upside down to sleep in the day and stay awake for the night. Many Fridays I have attempted to get Andrew to sleep. You might remember just last week where I had an awful time getting a nap out of Andrew. Well, today was pretty successful in terms of getting Andrew to nap and also for me to have some sleep time. He slept for 2 hours and I slept for an hour and a half. It isn’t ideal in the grand scheme of things but it was enough to maybe keep me from passing out around 4am into my keyboard.
We went looking to buy some already started plants for our garden. We are so, so late in getting started because, well, it has taken us 3 years to get to this point so why would anyone be surprised. About a month ago I had my cousin David rip out everything in the garden and then we went to the Cape for three weeks. Three weeks of weeds grew and today I ripped all of those out and tilled the soil to get it ready to plant something. Well, there is nothing to plant other than some seeds that we will start, but we weren’t able to find an already started tomato plant or something like that.
We went to Briggs because we figured that they might have what we were looking for. However, we were so late that all of the potted plants were gone. There were some herbs but we’re not really into herbs at this point. We honestly aren’t into anything at this point. We are such novices.
Briggs has a very small playground for the kids. They had fun playing on the purple dinosaur and feeding carrots to the donkey, tiny pony and goat.
