After we were finished at the theatre, we headed grocery shopping. I don't know what it is but Peyton and I both LOVE grocery shopping and he was just excited about this as he was that we went to the movie! We are those annoying people that loll down the aisles commenting on all the different brands of barbeque sauce and mustard there are. We got plenty to stock up the house and then headed home to see what Daddy and Baby Jackson were up to....which wasn't much. We ended up playing Wii for a while and then I continued reading my book while Peyton played some more with Jackson cheering him on! Peyton ended up falling asleep in the middle of the living room that afternoon and took about a 2 hour nap, while it rained outside. By the time he woke up, it was 7:00 and I knew there was no chance of him going to sleep at his normal bedtime, which I'm okay with since it was a Saturday. He ended up calling Grandma while I watched (for the millionth time) the Pilot of Lost.
Sunday morning we got up and went to church but apparently baby Jackson had other ideas. Instead of feeling the Holy Spirit inside him, he obviously felt something else as halfway during mass, he spewed all over his father...nice (better him than me). We had to herd our pack out of church quickly and I didn't realize just how bad it was until we got to the parking lot. Poor Chris was COVERED! I think it was too many yogurt melts and Apple/Carrot juice for Jax, once we got him home and cleaned up-he was fine and we had no other problems. I made a big dinner that evening of pot roast, mashed potatoes, salad, corn on the cob and biscuits and we stuffed ourselves silly...in preparation for the event of our weekend.
This brings me to Lost. One of the reasons I'm a completely adorkable Mommy is because I embrace my nerdiness...I used to try to rebel against the Dork inside of me but these days I realize it's what makes me, me. One of the dorkiest things about me is my compelte and utter obsession with Lost since the very first episode...well, if I'm being honest, I became quite obsessed with it when I saw the previews before it even started. I won't get in to too much as I don't want to bore you readers with my theories, thanks and praise for this show but I will say this. I loved the ending. I appreciate the journey and the things that show gave us. The ending confirmed my suspicions all along that this show was 100% spiritual at it's core and that makes me more grateful for the ride it took me on. I suspect those that aren't happy with the ending are the same who constantly ask the questions without trying to theorize answers. The people who were seeking answers to minute questions that never really were of any importance and could be answered by going back and watching and paying close attention. I've always enjoyed my day after chat fests with Ashleigh where we can up with our own theories and conclusions...I don't doubt that we will continue to do this for years to come. I am a total Lostie and I am beyond grateful for the ending we were given. Okay, moving forward as even writing about it bums me out.
Yesterday (Monday) I took the day off and spent it with my boys. We really didn't do much of anything but play games, read books and cleaned a lot. It was a much needed mental health day for all 3 of us and we appreciated it!
Here's a picture of Jackson enjoying an orange, just cause his cuteness astounds me.
And the boys marinating in the sand box Mom and Dad got them...by the way, Sunday afternoon after a long time of playing in the sandbox I gave Peyton a bath. When he laid his head down in the water and I scrubbed it w/ shampoo, he leans up and there was a small mountain of sand in my tub!! I've never seen so much sand come off such a little guy w/ short hair in my life! It took about a half hour of scrubbing my tub to get it all out.
Hope everyone has a happy week! Remember, stay in the positive!
