Thursday, Friday, Saturday we had a yard sale uptown at my brothers house for the "Memphis Days" Jonathon did very well for getting up and having to leave the house by 8:30a.m. and spend the entire day outside until we got back home at 6p.m. 3 days and no naps! He did great.... And my air is still not fixed in my van so he had no downtime from the weather....
Took our own pool to cool off
So we made it through our yard sale days and didn't do too bad. Kenny sold lots of toys and made about $75.00. Jonathon sold some toys and clothes and made about $140.00. I am very proud of Jonathon for how well he did behave for those 3 days. He still takes naps everyday so those long days were hard on him. He pretty much went to bed around 6:30 - 7p.m. instead of 8p.m. (Glad we are done with that)
Then on Sunday we had church at 11a.m. instead of 9a.m. because they were having a picnic afterwards. Also we became official members of the church also.
Gilbert and I were raised Catholic, Andrew and Kenny were baptized Catholic, and Jonathon was baptized Lutheran. We had some issues with the Catholic church after Jonathon was born and neither my or Gilbert's church would baptize him so we left and had him Baptized Lutheran. We just recently started going back to church and we chose Jonathon's Lutheran church. We are very happy there and that is why we decided to become members. We are now Lutheran. Next year Andrew and Kenny will make their confirmation and become official Lutheran members too.
The picnic was lots of fun and lots of good food. Jonathon even played kickball with the big kids and won a bag(prize) of goodies.
Then we left church and had to go to my brothers house for his step daughters First Holy Communion party. It was a nice day out and the kids seemed to be enjoying themselves in the pool. We did not stay too long at that party because this was now the 4th day for Jonathon not having a nap and he was just miserable ~ it was very muggy out ~ so we left at 5:30p.m. and headed home to relax after a long week.
The big brothers went out swimming and Jonathon and daddy and I sat in the air relaxing. By 6:30p.m. Jonathon was lying on the couch and I asked him if he was ready for bed. He answered yes (poor baby) and we got jammies on and he was out cold by 6:45p.m.
This morning he was up at 6:30a.m. like always, but looked really really tired and just was not himself. We got up ~ went potty ~ went to get a drink ~ got some cereal ~ ate about 5 spoonfuls ~ and he went back to bed ~ and he went back to sleep! Back in bed by 7:10a.m. ~ It is now 8:05a.m. and he is still sleeping........
My poor little guy is so exhausted.....I feel really bad now.....I know he still needs his naps and I was really bummed out that I couldn't get my air fixed in time for the yard sale. He would have been able to nap in the van...... And today is our only downtime because we have another busy week this week....I am going to try really hard to re arrange my schedule so he can at least come home and nap in between because with our temps going in mid 90's my van is gonna be scorching........
