Day 43 Westport New York

Matt found out that he has internet access at Meadowmount, so we’ve been sharing the computer, hence my infrequent postings as of late. It’s hard to believe that we’ve been here 2 1/2 weeks. We’ve fallen into a routine that goes something like this:
7:30 Wake up (thank God they kids are sleeping better!)
8:00 Breakfast. Not only does this involve getting food to the table, feeding the kids, and doing the dishes, but also trying to chase Sebastian around so he doesn’t eat dog food, touch one of the millions of antiques in the house, play with the handles on the wood stove, push the little cow statue over on his toe…My friend Shelly suggested that I put him in the backpack, and boy! Does that make a difference!
9:00 Walk to the park or go to the playground
10:30 Snack and Sebastian’s nap. Dora watches TV while I have a little time to myself
12:00 Lunch. See breakfast.
1:00 Some days we go to Meadowmount to visit Matt, sometimes we go to the library or on an adventure, and if we can’t think of anything else, we go swimming.
3:30 Nap time. This is VERY important.
5:30 Dinner.
6:30 We play on the porch, or in the yard, or we walk to the park where there is an ampitheatre and we have “shows”
8:00 Bed time for the kids. And I have a little time to myself!

Not a bad summer, if you ask me. This morning we walked down to the beach by the marina and the kids played in the water. I took pictures, so I will try to post them soon. Sebastian is still awake, and it’s almost 11, so I’m going to try to go help him go to sleep.
