Day 3 wasn’t much to write home about except that my kids didn’t really get the nap memo. We’ve been letting Alex ride the wave without a nap but it seemed like he hit the wall. Meltdown central. Chloe only had one short nap as well so she was a delight too. Needless to say, dinner time was a challenge.
During the day, we went back to the village to look for kid books. We also found kid sunglasses which always sounds like a cute idea. But my kids like to put them on and then immediate discard them. I hit Starbucks for a drink and surprised Alex with a cake pop. He was pretty stoked. We lounged on the outdoor couches for a bit which is seriously relaxing. I could do that all day. Preferably with adult company and adult beverages.
Alex also discovered the hammock. Another brilliant relaxation invention. He also got a lesson in tracking animal tacks by Yiayia. He was pretty cute with his animal tracks book and walking stick.
Once dinner time came around, it was a race to the finish. Take them for a walk on the green, baths, food, movie, put Chloe down, get her up because she’s screaming, go for another walk, Alex is screaming in defiance to bedtime, books, then at 10:00 p.m… Silence. Jesus. Oddly, I wasn’t exhausted, I just want to have some quiet so I could read!! And I did. Til midnight. I almost lost it again when a group of young guys decided to take their party on the deck and yell throughout the whole valley til well after I put the book down.
In Jesus name we pray, for naps tomorrow.
P.S. Sorry for the wacky formatting. I’m using pictures from my camera and phone and the combo is creating some wack-ass format that I am too inept to fix. Time for the blogging class, eh?
