We Made Plans

Yesterday evening Declan wanted to paint another Halloween picture. We ran out of time so I told him he could paint when I got home from work Friday. Then this morning I said "remember when I get home tonight you can paint." Declan's said "no we're going shopping so you can get me new winter boots." With that, we had a plan. 

When I got home from work the front door was open and Declan was standing there waiting for me. We were able to find some boots but only after a dance in the store, running to the front to test out the boots and me making Declan put them on and take them off himself cuz I'm not going to be helping him every day.

SUCCESS!

When we got home it was time to paint. So good when I can keep promises to the kid.

At school today he said he went down the slide on his belly (still feet first) and helped scoop out the seeds and gross yellow, orange sticky stuff from pumpkins. They're letting the seeds dry so they can count them. I'm excited for Declan's Halloween party at school Monday.
