Payton Day...

Today was our third day in a row for having kids. We were just getting out of bed when we heard this little knock on the door around 7:20am. We talked with Maggie for a little while then she had to leave for work. I had to get ready to get meet Marti for my 8:30am workout. On my way home I stopped to pickup bread so we could have french toast for breakfast. He wanted powered sugar on his. After breakfast, the guy finally showed up to work on the room again. Payton and I played with mister potato head and colored in the coloring book while Beth grabbed a shower. After both of us had showers, we went downstairs to start taking Payton's Christmas pictures. He was not happy and by then we knew it was time for a nap. He on the other hand wanted no part in nap time. Beth was able to get him to bed and asleep in about 10 minutes. Beth headed over to her mom's house to check on things, water the plants, and pick up the mail. On her way home she stopped to get gas for our shopping trip tomorrow. The guy started the finish sanding on the wall and found the outside corners were not dry and he had to come back tomorrow. My god is this project going to ever end. We told him that we had to leave at noon tomorrow as we both had to finish up our presents to each other. And since they have been her the last 2 weeks we have not had time. Payton was up around 2pm and Beth was home so we had a quick lunch. Again Payton wanted no part in lunch. Since when did ' I don't want to ' become part of his vocabulary? So I scooped him up and put him in his chair for lunch. Little tears were streaming down his cheek for about 2 seconds and them they stopped and he began eating his lunch. We finished lunch and went downstairs to get pictures started. He was all for that except he had to see each one after Beth took them. And getting him to stand straight for more than 2 seconds was not going to happen. We were able to get a few good shots. So Beth will work her magic and turn it into the Christmas picture. DJ came by to pick up Payton a little before 5pm. I was going to make stuffed peppers but found I had no tomato sauce so it will be on tomorrow nights agenda. We had to run back over to DJ and Maggie's as Payton forgot his sock monkey and he sleeps with it at night. We then headed to Staples for a couple of things, then back home. Both of us are tired and are going to bed early. This is one possibility for Payton's picture.
