This is Peyton's last week of summer vacation, and he has the pleasure of spending it with us. It is a hard balance for me. First off, this is the first summer we have done the one week on, one week off summer schedule. I have tried very hard to make sure that I am in town for the weeks that we have Peyton. It makes it easier on J (since he can not drive Peyton) and also it is good for us to be a complete family. J has been doing all the cleaning himself lately, which leaves me home with Peyton. I am very fortunate that I am able to do most of my work from home, but I feel totally guilty if he watches TV or plays XBox too long, so this afternoon we had some errands to run. Peyton is so good and so easy going. We had to go to Bed Bath and Beyond and order a wedding present, I had to return a dress to the Loft, we had Qdoba for lunch (at Peyton's request)....and then....we saw "Diary of a Wimpy Kid!" Peyton was so excited and chose snow caps as his movie treat. (I am a sucker and he is so cute that he get's just about anything he wants from me.....hopefully this is just a step mom thing and I out grow this if and when I have my own.) The movie was so funny....Peyton thanked me over and over and said he had the best day....which of course melts my heart. I really think we have a great relationhip and he is more and more comfortable with spending the day with me. I have told Peyton we have to watch the other 2 movies so I can see it from the beginning. I snapped a cute picture at the theater before the movie started.
aw - fun! I have to admit, I'm jealous you had a kid to see the movie with - it looks cute :)
