The first night was uneventful. Sean slept well, just got up extremely early. He never did totally adjust to the time change, each morning he was up somewhere between 4:30 and 5:30. Oh well, at least he slept thought the night otherwise.
Tuesday Sean and I went to the hotel gym, which was a sauna. It was right off the pool so the humidity level was extreme! I had to workout in two phases since Sean had a poopy and needed a bottle shortly after I started the first time. After cleaning up we went out for a walk to Super Target and then to lunch. I found a neat place with fabulous butternut squash bisque and a cranberry turkey sandwich. We headed back to the hotel for nap time. Sean wasn't thrilled with the walk because of the wind. It was EXTREMELY windy. After nap and Josh got home we went out to add me as a driver to the car and then had some YUMMY Indian food for dinner. Stopped by the mall where I got a few things and then went in for the night.
Wednesday I planned on going to the city, but once again the wind was horrible. It gusted up to 80 mph so we stayed in most of the day. Sean and I went to the hotel gym again, this time they had a fan in there and the door ope)n so it was slightly better. Other than that we just went to lunch, this time for a chicken rice bowl with peanut sauce (lots of veggies and yummy). Josh called while Sean was napping so I woke him and went to pick Josh up from work. Later we went our for a great seafood dinner. The wind was still EXTREME and later in the evening the snow began to fall.
Thursday after the front came through the wind was finally gone. There were a few inches of snow on the ground and it was beautiful. Sean and I finally were able to go to the city. We walked around Temple Square and parts of the city nearby. Then we drove by the state capitol and went to lunch. Josh was done with work relatively early and we all drove up to Alta, a famous ski area there. Not much to do if you don't ski, but the views were gorgeous. Then we went to Ruth's Diner for dinner (another Diners, Drive-ins and Dives location. We split the meatloaf which was absolutely divine. Then it was time to head to the hotel and pack.
We enjoyed our time in SLC...short work hours and short commute for Josh, only one (and the quiet one at that) munchkin to take care of, lots of good meals, beautiful mountains.... But the gig was up. Time to head home to reality.
We picked up Jack and Ewan on the was home from the airport. I think Oma was relieved!! She did very well with the boys and enjoyed her QUIET after they left. Spend some time with them and you too will realize just how much you appreciate quiet time!!
Saturday we went to the farmer's market. We had breakfast there, and more importantly, we got our chocolate brioche again!!! I think that's why Jack and Ewan love the market some much and talk about it all the time. Josh worked on the table later and the boys helped, It was a beautiful day, about 75 degrees. And then at dinner time Sean had his first meal of rice cereal. Needless to say not much of made it down!!
And today the real fun began....we're potty training. That's right, Ewan is finally learning to use the potty. He's been getting acquainted with the potty and gone several times already, mostly right before bath. We've already had several accidents, though not nearly as much as Jack did when he first began. We'll see how it goes. Needless to say Josh is gone for this fun...out dirtbiking!
So that's my busy week, and only going to get worse with all the potty training! Wish us luck!!!
