Alder and his scone7 am Wake up and cuddle time, that's until someone has to go to the bathroom.
8am Breakfast as a family, super yummy corn porridge,
9:45 Head out in the snowy weather to Manchester for story time at the bookstore (yes we drive 25 miles each way once a week for story time)
10:30 Story time at the Northshire Bookstore. Which involves a lot of not sitting and listening but wandering around the children's floor retrieving toys to play with briefly. It also means being around other mama's I like.
11:45 Lunch at Spiral Press Cafe, we have been unfortunately dubbed the Mommies Club. Good healthy food. Alder is the oldest of the lot so he sits in a booster seat instead of a high chair. At the end of the meal Alder takes everyone's trash to the garbage.
12:00 Back up stairs with a few friends to play in the children's section. It would be so much fun to be the buyer for the toys and games up there.
1:00 Search for regional geology book for Kevin with no luck.
1:15 Head back home in even more snow.
2:00 Visit Kevin at work, so I can check my email. During this time Alder falls asleep in Kevin's arms and takes a nap in the display crib (wow this is the second nap in as many weeks)
2:45 While Alder naps I visit a friend at her shop across the street for a little while.
3:30 Alder wakes up and we head to the grocery store.
4:00 Snacking begins granola bars dipped in plain yogurt (yum). While snacking I start dinner, I felt like making something pretty. We end up with Broiled Haddock in a sweet chili rub with yellow pepper salsa, sautéed brussel sprouts, and onion pablano pepper rice. No recipes just futzing with what we have around the house, except the haddock. Alder discovers he likes a capella music.
6:00 Family dinner, Alder managed to eat most of the brussel sprouts and a fair bit of rice.
6:45 I take staged photos for my new article.
7:30 Write blog and send photos in.
[Other new Alder news. Now he's walking down the stairs. Saying bye-bye, teeth (when touching his our someone else's). Runs everywhere. Is starting to play pretend. Is in that weird stage of understanding tons more than he can express himself. Has given up on playing by himself, he needs one of us to be in the room with him, not doing anything too real but not playing with him.]

I'm so glad you found a story time. Manchester is fun, even if it is a trek in the weather. That's a cute pic of Alder and the scone. I made my first scones earlier in the week.
