Another one gone already

It took all I could to not name this post another one bites the dust.

Another week has come and gone. It always feels weird to sum up the weekend when you were really busy but can't think of thing that you did.

Mr. T. and I had a hot date Saturday morning. Mom came over so we could go ride our bikes. It is mountain biking season again, but neither one of us renewed our CARP cards to ride out at Camp Robinson. We ended up on our road bikes instead. It was a little cool, but when the wind was at our backs, we rode really fast.

This morning Megs and I ran 9.5 miles. We weren't going to run the extra little bit, but the gas station where I get my peanuts and refill my water was closed so we had a little detour. I am pretty tired tonight.

Peanut and I had some fights about her naps over the weekend. She wouldn't take a nap Saturday so I ended up taking away her pacifier. WOW, did that cause a commotion. Today she was much more pleasant but still refused to take a nap. I think we are letting her watch too much TV in the mornings, so she isn't getting any exercise. The TV is great for getting the house clean, but I guess we really need to watch how much she sees on the weekends. During the week she watches it in the mornings, but I think today she probably watched 3 or more hours. She was watching it when Megs and I left. When we got home, it was still on.

Peanut and I made some monkey bread on Saturday. She about flipped her lid when I suggested we have a tea party in her house downstairs. While we were trying to clean up from dinner, she kept asking asking asking to go downstairs. It was pretty exciting.

Baby P cut another tooth. That makes six. He cut it last night between the hours of 12 and 5. He was up every hour telling me he wasn't that happy. Poor Bear. I expected a very bad night of sleep. He seems like he is trying to cut another one, but I can't really see where.

He is also doing better at sitting up. He can sit up for closing in on a minute before falling over. Most of the times he falls forward and ends up just folded in half. He doesn't seem to mind it as long as he can keep chewing on stuff. He is getting more mobile on the floor and figuring out that he can roll from one place to another. He keeps pulling his knees up under him to scoot forward. It works to some extent, but mostly he just flops back over onto his back and gives us a wail (get me that toy. I can't do it. I NEED TO CHEW). Here is a picture I tried to take of the two of them sitting up together.

BONK. Ouch. That caused some tears. What a good mom!

I have about all of the kids Christmas shopping done. Most of it came from yard sales. It didn't really start out being something I meant to do, but it just happened that way. This weekend I scored a puppet theater that was way nicer than any I would have bought new. I am super excited about it. It just so happens that at Ikea I picked up a bunch of finger puppets.

The one thing that we were going to buy her is a bike. I have been trying to think about which bike I should buy this, this, or this. They are all good for different reasons. Today, Peanut was looking at a Target add and screamed, "I want this Science Lady Bike". Well, I guess that answers our question. The Disney Princess Bike it is. She is going to come unglued when she sees it. I can't wait.
