November 3, 2012 - Saturday

Today was Saturday.  We didn't have anything planned.  Actually this weekend is the only weekend in November that isn't already occupied by events....ahhh the Christmas season is already upon us! 

I figured we'd just stay home, the kids can play and I will try to get some laundry and cleaning done.  I discovered that my children do not like being home!  They were fighting and whining and bored within 10 minutes of me asking the to turn off the TV.  They received tonnes of great toys for their birthday.  Seeing as most of our weekends are filled up, they haven't had much time to play with everything.  But to my surprise on Saturday...they were bored!  Oh, how I hate that word.  Bored.  They have no reason to be bored!  When given the chance to do something...they wanted to watch a movie.  I said NO to that, they were asked to turn off the TV because they watch in the morning.  Normally the Boy watches at 7am while everyone is sleeping, so around 9:30 or 10 I tell him to turn off the TV.  He doesn't argue.

I decide that we should pop over to my parents for a short visit.  Gets the kids out of the house and we all feel a little better.  Of course it was a nice visit, and the Baby even took a few more steps!  He's getting there, he will probably be walking efficiently within the next month. 

After dinner, we went grocery shopping.  8pm on Saturday is a great time to buy groceries.  There was no one in the store.  I suppose all the other people must have a life, and that's why they aren't grocery shopping on Saturday night!!  The kids for some reason were so hyper and they were running all over.  I hate when they do that while we are out, because I really hate yelling at them in public.  Fortunately the Husband doesn't mind yelling at them!
