Jack's new sleep routine has been working awesomely! Night before last I put him to bed and he cried for about 10 minutes and that was it! I just kept laying him down until he stayed down, then sat across the room and shh'd him to sleep. He woke up once at about 2 and cried for about 5 minutes and then Jared went in and did the same thing. That time he cried for about 20 minutes. Yesterday for his nap he cried for about 1 minute. Jared put him to bed last night and it seriously took less than 3 minutes! I think he only cried on the way up the steps. I was going to get up with him last night if he woke up at all but he never did! This is going so much smoother than I thought it would! Now I think tonight when I put him to bed I'll sit closer to the door....out of his eyesight.
Yesterday morning Jack and I went to Walmart and we were going to go to Cub too but he fell asleep in the car so I brought him home and he went right back to sleep in his bed! That would never have happened like a month ago. A few minutes of napping in the car would have replaced his nap for the day. Yesterday he napped for almost 3 hours though! So after I put him down I went to Cub by myself which was nice because lately he doesn't like shopping that much. My pelvis was hurting so much yesterday morning. It was hard to walk. Then when I got home I was starving because I'd only eaten some banana bread that morning. I sat on the porch and was too tired to get up and make something. Then I talked to my sister for almost 2 hours and didn't end up eating anything until almost 3!!
In the afternoon we hung out in the backyard for a bit. Jared picked up dog poop and cleaned the garage and Jack played on his toys and finally mastered the ladder to his slide! I sat in the chair and did Sudoku's.
We watched There Will Be Blood. It was kind of weird. I really hate the ending on most movies these days. Why is it so hard to put a decent ending in a movie? We still need to watch Grey's Anatomy, America's Next Top Model, The Riches, and The Alaska Experiment.
Our computer's being wonky again. It's like the battery cord is loose again! GOD Dell....could you make bigger pieces of crap????

Jared and his brother Chris were going to do the brakes on the Vue today but now I guess they're going to do it next weekend. So this morning I decided we needed to go to Old Navy =) I really wanted to take advantage of the 2 for $5 sale on flip flops and I'm pleased that they changed their design. Hopefully my feet will like the new model. I got 4 pairs and I was pretty annoyed that they didn't have more pairs in my size (amazon). They had like a google flip flops but I wear a 9 1/2 so I needed 10's and they had 10's in only a few colors :( Oh well, I got white, black, blue and grey. I wanted light blue or pink and I even had to get my black ones in mens! I could have just ordered them online I bet but I wanted em now! We got Jack some sandals on clearance for $4.99 too! He got a $3 shirt and Jared got 2 shirts too. So we got 5 pairs of shoes and 2 shirts for like $37. Awesome!
We didn't realize the mall doesn't open til like damn near noon on Sundays so we got there at 10:30 and only the big department stores were open. We let Jack play in the play area for a bit and then at 11 got an Orange Julius (as is cutom when going to the mall) and then went to Old Navy.
We got home and Jack went right down for his nap! I laid him down and he didn't even try to get back up. He cried for like a minute and that was it. I even sat much further away while I waited for him to fall asleep. He couldn't even really see me because I was over by the door. Sweet!
We raked the yard while Jack napped. Fun times but now it looks much better. Jack's up now and is eating a late lunch and then he'll have a bath. At 4 we're going to Rosemary's birthday party. Jack and I are going to wear new shoes :o) My mom wants us to squeeze in a quick bike ride before we go. We'll see about that.
Tomorrow I just have Brooke so my mom and I are going to take the kids to Como Zoo in the morning. I'm pretty excited. I hope it's nice out.
