My face is chapped from Morgan-kisses. it's the kind of pain that doesn't hurt, it instead makes everything feel better. He's been giving me lots of hugs and kisses this weekend, which has been very nice. Timothy too, of course, but he is always willing and Morgan sometimes less so. I got the kids superman pajamas today, complete with cape. I put Morgan's on and he loved it. He ran about and then ran over to kiss me, except I was trying to get Timothy's on at the time, so he had to grab my head and twist it sideways to make contact. Strong kid that Morgan. Once they were both suited up, they raced in circles around the house, first chasing Josh and then each other. Morgan found this especially entertaining, and was running so fast and so long that he actually started breathing hard. It must've been over 20 minutes that they kept it up. Timothy was sweating. Josh tired much quicker, but instead would stand in a doorway and jump out at them at each round, at which point they would scream with delight and both jump and hug him.

Last night we played hide'n'seek in the dark. Timothy's getting the hang of hiding, and Morgan likes to count to 10. Unfortunately, we were dogsitting Abbey, and she was an excellent seeker, not at all deterred by the darkness. No matter where we hid, she was there within seconds, wagging her tail and completely giving us away. ah well.

Mom was down today and we hit Target. I needed some clothes for Timothy, and then we did some early xmas shopping. I shopped for Ruby, since she's the funnest, and we got some stuff for the boys as well. Great prices. then we had lunch at Friendly's. I hadn't eaten out in the longest time and had been missing it. We had great service, which was odd at best. anyway, then we came back and did the wrapping. Timothy pouted when grandma left because he wanted to go with her. He's going up Wednesday to spend the day at "grandma's school".

I feel much relaxed after the weekend. I had to talk myself out of just going into work several times, but I'm glad I did. I needed the break. another tough week, but it should be a little better. I'm trying to get down to 9 hour days, as I think that would be quite pleasant.
