My Friday...

When I heard Finley waking up at 6:40 and felt Kristen's elbow digging into my back, I thought,

"Well, I guess it's time to get up."

Got Finley her juice (this kid drinks like a fish!) and headed into the living room. Jonah woke up about ten minutes later. Realized I Hadn't done a "my Friday" post in awhile and figured today would be a great day to start!

Woke Kristen up around 8 and hit the treadmill while she sat sleepily on the couch. Did a couple of miles on the treadmill then grabbed a quick shower.

I don't know why, but it takes the Wrights a really long time to get ready every day. Compound that with the fact that I somehow lost Kristen's makeup bag last night and you get an idea of what we did for a good long while.

We got out of the house and ran some errands - got gas, ran to the bank, and stopped by the Olive Garden, Lufkin's newest restaurant. (New restaurants in Lufkin are quite the experience as most of them are completely packed for their first two weeks because everybody has to check it out. Ah, the joy of a small town.)

Anyway, we beat the lunch crowd and ate a quick lunch. When we were finished, I took the kids out to the car while Kristen paid. As the kids and I passed a table, I heard an elderly man whispering "hermaphrodite" very quickly and passionately. It sounded like Beverly Leslie sitting right there at the table. I grinned, but kept going.

After lunch, we tracked down my mom at her office, where we, of course, had to buy something from the snack machine for the kids. He went home and laid Finley down for her nap.

I laid down for about fifteen minutes before Kristen caught me. I got up to hang out in the living room with Jonah. Pretty soon, Kristen was asleep herself! Woke up Kristen after awhile. She went to go wake Finley up and I thought I'd just lay there on the bed for a minute. At the door, she turned to me and said,

"How long?"

I realized she was asking me how long I wanted to nap. So I said, "Twenty minutes." An hour later I finally got up. Nice!

Once everybody was up, Jonah and I had wrestling match in the living room while Krist took Finley to the trampoline outside. After I had been soundly defeated, Jonah and I went outside to get in on some of the trampoline fun. Jonah, Finley and I all jumped for a good while. We came on in.

After a few minutes, Finley and I decided to make a drink run to Sonic. Jonah grabbed a bath and settled in for family movie night (E.T. on DirectTV.)

The movie was a little longer than we expected, but we let Jonah stay up and watch it. Once it was over, Kristen took him up to his room and he was asleep in no time. I played around on the computer for awhile then went to bed.
