The Wednesday Play by Play

Wednesdays are always fun and are usually an Everett and Mommy Day. Eric is always kind to let me "sleep in" on Wednesdays and I let him "sleep in" on Saturdays. The quotes are because "sleeping in" around here usually means we sleep until about 8. So then this morning Everett and I decided to stroll around the mall and window shop for awhile and then we met Eric at Mimi's Cafe for lunch. We chose Mimi's because I had a craving for some fried pickles and because we had a coupon. Also, Mimi's never disappoints. Everett does so well at restaurants now. He usually just enjoys watching the people so we practically turn his highchair out and he is good for at least a half hour if not longer. After lunch, Everett took a very long nap from 12:30-4:30. He is so active when he is awake, that he just crashes when it is time to nap. While he was napping, Eric and I had a long chat and then I ran to Target to pick up a few things. Then tonight we had a meal that was labeled in my Crock Pot cookbook as "Harvest Dinner." I was just sold by the name and it was really good! It is basically just a pot roast with onions and sweet potatoes. It is also seasoned with cinnamon. We cooked it in the Crock Pot overnight and then it warmed throughout the day. Very yummy. After dinner Ev and I walked, or I should say wandered, around the neighborhood. It is getting really cool outside so it was nice. Now Everett is relaxing with a video as I write this post. On tonight's agenda is cleaning out my closet and painting my toenails. Oh, and Top Chef is on tonight as well. Overall a really good day off with my boy. Next week is another doctor's visit! We are attempting to take Everett to that visit. We'll see how that goes.
