Tuesday, on the other hand, was hectic. Mat went to school full day and I was with Oliver. When she got home from school at 3:30 the photographer was there to take family pictures. Mat, hungry and sleep deprived due to lack of sleeping during school nap, didn't want to cooperate. I was literally running, jumping, and making silly faces to try and cheer her up. I definitely made J laugh as well. Lol. When the pictures were done it was off to swimming lessons.
Wednesday was Halloween. Mat woke up as excited as if it was Christmas. She was a baby gorilla for Halloween, in spite of her initially protesting the costume suggestion and telling B to send it back before it had even arrived. She was pretty cute it it. See pictures below.
Thursday was a juggling act for me. Oliver didn't want to be put down and Matilda didn't want to be my second priority. Regardless of having my hands full, Mat was understanding overall and cooperative... Even when she knew I was at her disposal.
Today was a whirlwind. Upon arrival at 7:30am, I had exactly 1.75 hours to get them out the door and on their way to New York. It ended up taking 2 hours, one dirty 3T turtleneck, and a misunderstanding about a discovered kids North Face Fleece (that matched J's and mine) to get them out the door.
Unfortunately, after all that hustle and bustle, the New York City Marathon was cancelled... The main reason yet were traveling into the city so soon after Sandy. My thoughts and prayers go out to those affected by the storm. My 20-year-old brother, who is a member of the Army National Guard, is currently in Brooklyn working on disaster relief. Godspeed to them!
