Today, in honor of Sam's birthday (which was last Sunday) Anthony took off work and spent the day at home with us. We packed Ellen off to daycare this morning, and Sam had both parents all to himself. He spent most of the day running around giggling and acting silly and generally having a great time. He helped me bake his birthday cake for the party tomorrow. Then he helped me clean up the kitchen and start the dishwasher. After that he had a wrestling match with his dad, which pretty much consisted of Sam running fult tilt at Anthony, and Anthony picking him up and throwing him onto the bed. Hilarity ensued and a good time was had by all.
We picked Ellen up from daycare and then headed to the cinema to treat the kids (and ourselves) to a movie. We watched The Tale of Despereaux, which to be honest wasn't the best movie I've seen, but it was cute enough. The time with family was the most fun part anyway. We splurged on snacks and were amazed as Ellen scarfed piece after piece of popcorn and Sam gnawed his way through a whole pack of Twizzlers. We shared our sodas with them and Ellen peed on Anthony's lap.
Sam was pretty nonchalant about the whole 'movie' thing, but had a blast eating candy and then playing one of those video games where you drive a car around town. (I have now decided that Anthoy will have to be the one to teach him to drive!). Ellen loved the popcorn and slurped up her weight in soda, and wiggled and clapped and cheered and pretty much had a ball. She even sat on my lap and tried to dance to the background music.
And then we got home and everybody was tired and coming down from a sugar high and so they had to go to bed at 630. I am seriously thinking of joining them.
