Week Wrap-Up

Since a lot of snow (for our area) was dumped on Sunday night/Monday we were unable to leave the house until Thursday.  Even though the main roads are pretty clear, parking lots and back roads are still very icy.  Therefore, Doug has worked from home all week. 

Since Doug working at home was just a temporary thing, he used our dining room for his office.  The problem with this is that our dining room faces the living room.  The same living room where Weston's toys are and where Weston and I spend most of our day.  This led to a noisy work environment for Doug.  If he worked from home long-term, he'd have to use the 4th bedroom as an office.

Also, I thought I'd enjoy having Doug home, but I really didn't.  This is because it was hard to determine when was work time and when was family time.  Even today, on Saturday, he's working.  At least when he goes to work, I know that when he's home, it's family time, not work time.

Since Weston and I were cooped up at home, we had to find new ways to keep ourselves entertained.  Weston learned this week how to pet the dogs.  Waveland loves going up to Weston and giving him kisses and now that he has learned how to pet her, it just reinforces her kisses.  He doesn't enjoy the overabundance of kisses that much.  Hattie lets Weston pet her, but only if she happens to walk by or lay down close enough to him.  She doesn't go out of her way to be near him.  Just wait until he starts eating real food and dropping it off the high chair.  She'll quickly change her mind!

Last night, we went to see The Dilemma.  It was an ok movie.  The movie was funny at times and it makes you think about what you would do in the same situation.  Weston did pretty well in the movie.  He fell asleep before the movie started, but then woke up about halfway through.  I fed him and then held him the rest of the time.  He fell back asleep on my chest, causing my arms and legs to be very asleep by the time we left.
