Butwin Family Adventures

YAY for the Weekend!

Posted by Ida , Sunday, September 25, 2011

From Thursday night on, William has been doing pretty well with his sleeping rules although Madelyn definitely makes it more difficult for him to fall asleep.  She calls to him and is very distracting.  Then she starts to cry and William complains that it is too loud and she wakes him up (he's not even asleep yet).  Mommy often feels badly for him, but it will build character, right?  That's what she tells herself anyway.

Proud Mommy moment: The afternoon of his first prize choice he said, "Now I have nine prizes left."  The number of prizes weren't talked about since the day they were purchased!

Enjoying his "paint a piggy bank" prize!

Adventure weekend #2 - The Butwins head to Sanbridge beach to visit Daddy's friend Aaron, his wife Meredith and their one year daughter Lyla.  It was a rainy weekend, again, but it was a great visit.  William loved walking on the beach and collecting shells in the rain.  It took Madelyn 5 minutes or so to get used to it before she was walking around.  She doesn't like getting wet, so the rain deterred her and back in the stroller she went.  That is the ONLY time she likes being in the stroller!

Sunday was a quiet day.  Daddy went into work for a few hours in the morning and then met Aaron at a sports bar to catch the Bills game.  Yay Bills!  2-0!

Mommy, William and Madelyn decided to head to 10:30 mass at Church of The Ascension.   Mommy was initially impressed with the friendliness!  New comers were asked to stand and introduce themselves.  Mommy, without thinking, stood up and introduced herself and William and Madelyn!  A nice warm welcoming.  William and Madelyn behaved SO well!  Mommy was super proud.  The mass went extra long, 1.5ish.  Mommy is hoping that was due to a financial report and wont normally be the case. 

A couple of cute things William said: Pulling into the parking lot, "Mimi's is one of these cars."
As the Eucharistic ministers were waiting at the alter, "Look at all those people who want to sing with Jesus.  Which one is Jesus?  Do you know Mommy?"

Monday's prize: Cars puzzle!
