Forgive the Delay

I've been drowning in the WHYs that have taken over the Hardegree home. Eli asks why in regards to everything. And really it is one word I have not yearned for in his vocabulary. Aside from that never-ending question, we've had lots of fun.

We played with Foster on Monday. It involved lots of running with super hero capes. Lots of giggling and yelling, too. Really it was more fun for me the Mommy since I got to talk - with an adult! - for a few hours after a weekend flying solo. Notice my son being a punk. Yeah. No nap makes the devil just ooze out of him.

After our playdate, we came home and willed the neighbors to come play. But all the willing in the world didn't help. Nor did breaking out the noc'lers to find the friends.

I finally said Sanity Please and let him water the flowers before waving the white flag and giving him a lollipop (and having one for myself!).

Eli got his Waffle House for supper, though, so that made the fact that All De Fwends weren't home a little easier to handle.

And then today? Well today we came home and did our few little things to be done & headed outside. Not long after we were outside to play? Kolby came over. Eli Was Thrilled

They found some sticks - from where I have no idea - and Kolby came running out to say he had a stick and it was a bat so he could play baseball. And Eli, just as serious as you please, said An deez sticks are a bow & arrow! He spent a bit of time "working" on the bikeBefore doing a little "work" on the houseAnd now we're all bathed and ready for bed. Hopefully we'll all fall asleep at a decent hour tonight. And hopefully there won't be too many Why's in the time to go to bed process
