a fall

Today started out quite well we had a great breakfast of scrambled eggs and had a fairly clean kitchen when I was done.  then got the laundry done while playing, the morning flew by and before I knew it Mom was calling to come get Evelyn for the dance party at the library.  I managed to get her dressed though she said she didn't want to go dance.  and she went off with grandma with out a problem (I was  a little worried that she would refuse to go or fuss given her behavior.)  William and I played for a little while and I tried to wear him out.  at 10 I put him down for his nap.  he didn't cry to much  before falling asleep and I managed to get some cleaning done.


Our bathrooms really needed a scrub!  William woke up a bit late but we were not doing too badly  then I ended up at the wrong park and had to ask my dad for directions.  after fielding the questions of where our GPS is (I told him it was home though It may be in Hawaii with Jason.) got me to the proper park and an awesome park ranger got me to the right shelter.  William was a tad hungry and ate pretty much the whole party with some playing thrown in for good measure.  One of his school friends that always comes up to me for a smile and a hug walked over with a piece of pizza his mom had given him and proceeded to put it on my knee.  his mom was horrified though I thought it was hilarious and sweet of him to share.  :)  after a while William discovered the open door and I spent the rest of the party chasing William outside.  Poor Petra was going down hill despite a long morning nap so William and I left hoping the birthday girl got her next nap soon!

I was going to run some errands but I had left my wallet at home (Grrr) and after getting home and talking to mom and dad I decided to just stay home and play with William, I don't often get one on one time with the little man.  It was so nice that we decided to go for a walk and a swim in the huge leaf pile.  as we got back to the circle grandpa pulled up with Evelyn.  perfect timing.

We all come inside and watch a few elmo songs, and play around for a little while until it is time to start dinner.  Things are going well and Evelyn and William are playing well together when they run around the downstairs as it is their favorite activity unfortunately William's second favorite activity is climbing the stairs.  when Evelyn came around and i didn't hear or see william I asked if william was on the stairs and headed over to see.  Unfotunitly I got there just a bit to slow and was just in time to watch william fall off of the second stair and hit the floor forehead first.  thankfully he cried right away and was fairly easily consoled.  So I decided to put William in the playroom while i quickly finished the broccoli when Evelyn who hates to have the gate up pulled at it and It came of hurting her foot.  I put william in his high chair where he should have been the whole time (and where he usually is while I cook).  he had a small bump and two red marks but was otherwise fine.

I was shaken and pretty mad at myself here is hoping that tomorrow goes better than today.
