Yes, Calvin is still alive. It’s just been a busy day.

Slept in (courtesy of @calvinsdad), made scones for breakfast, video conferenced with both grandmothers, and grocery shopped.

After alternating between happy babbling and ecstatic screeching most of the day, Calvin went to bed as usual a little before 7pm.

Calvin is having fun wearing two unmatched mittens which he rescued from my thrift store bin.

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Oct 18, 2010 5:53 PM
Calvin has decided the rain outside is a cruel joke.

From daycare: “Calvin really enjoyed playing with pumpkin goo today!”

From daycare: “Calvin had fun building with legos.”

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Oct 18, 2011 7:42 PM
Calvin stubbed his toe and then bent down to kiss it himself.

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Oct 18, 2011 7:43 PM
I’m off to the grocery store for stuff to make Pumpkin Whoopie Pies for Calvin’s “Harvest party” at daycare.

And we have snow. I can only find one of Calvin’s mittens . . .

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Oct 18, 2013 7:37 AM
If I were a mitten that belong to Calvin, where would I hide?

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Oct 18, 2013 4:51 PM
The upside to having a mint infestation is the “grass” smells wonderful after it’s been cut.

Today Calvin woke up at 6. Maybe he’s becoming a morning person?

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Oct 18, 2014 8:01 AM
I did not wake up at 6.

I am afraid the moment I fall asleep Julian will decide to wake up.

I’m doing another urban hike in SF on my day off while Julian is in daycare. Too much fog for viewpoint pictures.

This is a fantastic way to wash windows.
Picture of a three story house (or more) with lots of windows. At the bottom a window washer has a very long pole that reaches up to the top window and has a window washing scrubber at the end.

I found a bookstore. Send help before I spend the college fund.

Yanthor commented that carrying them back home would be a limiting factor.

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Oct 18, 2017 10:39 AM 11:10 AM
Um, I forgot to factor that in before I bought the books. Fortunately, they double bagged the books for me.

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Oct 18, 2017 12:13 PM
I completely forgot how long it takes the bus to go 1/4 mile on Phelan.

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Oct 18, 2017 12:13 PM 12:16 PM
On the other hand, Julian loves the bus no matter how long it takes.

Smoke alarm UIs are EVIL.

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Oct 18, 2017 4:39 PM
I unfairly maligned the smoke detector. It was the house alarm’s window sense. I hate alarms. Way too much time wasted troubleshooting.

Good news! Calvin has made more friends. Unexpected news: he now has plans for 10 play dates, starting tomorrow and going through December.

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Oct 18, 2019 6:20 PM
He casually mentions this at supper. Complete with a schedule of October-December.

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Oct 18, 2019 6:35 PM
Um, I think Julian just at a whole bowl of cheese while I was panicking over this.

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Oct 18, 2019 6:38 PM
Not exaggerating. Now he says he has a tummy ache.

2020

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Oct 18, 2020 12:13 AM
Well, I think this is the latest we’ve ever let Calvin stay up to play a board game.

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Oct 18, 2020 2:50 PM
Well, it took the entire morning, and some of the afternoon, but I finally finished voting. @calvinsdad and I are now going to drop off our ballots.

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Oct 18, 2020 3:16 PM
This is going to be a more expensive trip to the bookstore than I was expecting.

Kiesa @spreadsheetmom Oct 18, 2020 4:36 PM
I think I’m going to have to give up on finishing Calvin’s roo[m] today. However, I suppose voting and getting flu shots for the family was still a productive day.
