Daylight savings time started early this year and we've been struggling all week. Each weekday we've had to wake the kids up at 7 (when we should probably already be headed downstairs, ready to go) and grumble and fight through getting ready for school, then grumble and fight getting them actually in the car and set to go. But oh, no, not on the weekend. Not a chance. Surprise surprise, there's Reed at 5:45 a.m., wide awake and ready to go. Amy was about 20 minutes behind him.
I just don't get it! It's mind-boggling how these kids can kill us with "But I'm still tiiiiiiiired" on weekdays but on the weekends they're up at the crack of dawn, bursting with energy.
Well I guess it's only a matter of time before they're sleeping 'til noon every single day they can, just like I used to. I am glad they enjoy the weekend time when we're able to do more things together.
Today we went to Bull Run Park in Centreville and did a nature walk. Cub Run is there and the trail follows alongside it, and we had a good time - especially CJ. Reed even ran about a mile (literally a mile, I swear) on the way back. Then we played a while at the playground and came home exhausted - everybody took naps.
A good day, even if it started too early.
