false alarm

Another weekend closing...ho-hum.  A good weekend though....aren't they all?

We played some poker Friday night...my honey won!  Took the always good time trip to Walmart on Saturday evening ;0)....this time without Nicholas.  I quite think Shaney enjoyed this outing sans brother.  Up and down all the aisles..so much to look at and once we got to the toy section - pure glee!  Especially when we asked him to decide on an engine from Thomas or another 'nump' truck.  No idea he was getting something, just happy to now have a choice and it was all Thomas, well Arthur actually!  He held that engine with all he had until we got home and he could finally open it! 

Nicholas had spent the day with his cousins and the plan was to pick him up on the way home...it got a little late and he ended up calling me on the cell to let me know he was ready to come home.  He had a great time...but was just ready for home. 

So, on the way home, we talked about his visit and then that led into bed times.  Nicholas has three bedtimes - 730pm on school nights, 8pm on daycare nights and 9pm on weekends IF he has had a good day!  Well, of course it was Saturday and he stressed that point and built his case as to why he should be able to stay up until 9.  And then the yawn, a big one.  Before anyone could say anything, he said to Daddy and I that we should just not pay any attention to that - It was a False Alarm!!!  LOL.  We let him stay up until 9.

Big pot of chili started brewing this morning....I knew it was going to be all about football today so what goes better?  Hmm...think I'll go enjoy a bowl right now!
