Hello! The sun is out and it's supposed to be in the upper 50s today, so I am feeling that spring in my step 🤩 We had a pretty plan-free weekend, so we were able to be a little bit spontaneous, a little bit productive and ALMOST rested. I'll take it!
We woke up to snow on Friday and I cannot believe how icy it was out there!!!! I literally fell walking back to my car after dropping the kids off and I'm so glad I wasn't holding one of them 😱 Had a morning manicure then went back home to work the rest of the day. Joey picked the kids up that evening and Mr. No Nap fell asleep in the car because that's his new MO. I went to pick up our ramen order and basically ice skated from the car to the restaurant. I'm usually unfussed by winter weather but I REALLY did NOT like how slippery it was out there. That ramen hit the spot on a chilly night!
Get this, we had NOTHING planned for Saturday! I made us whole wheat banana pancakes for breakfast and then both Joey and I fit in a run. We've been talking about clearing out the playroom and rotating toys for a month now and while we didn't bring any "new" toys up yet, we've cleaned the bins and cleared out some stuff. I swear we'll have it done by this coming weekend 😂 Luckily, Dempsey is the best helper when it comes to cleaning! We had planned to stay in and cook dinner but Lauren, Adam and Landon invited us to an early dinner at Edgewater Public Market and it seemed like getting out of the house might be a good and fun idea, so we said yes. Of course Dempsey fell asleep on the ten minute drive over 😅 Got home and got the kids to bed early-ish, so we started a movie then went to bed ourselves.
We had a lovely little Sunday 🥰 Joey made egg sandwiches for the three of us -- freezer waffles for Sissy, but I finally got to schedule her baked egg food challenge so hopefully she passes and can join us for egg breakfasts soon! -- and then the boys went to Walmart and I made salads for the week. We hung a curtain around Lydia's crib in the hopes that it would block off some of the sounds and lights from Dempsey's side of the room while he's in this phase of waking up in the middle of the night and coming into our room and also maybe being scared of the dark?? He keeps asking for more and more nightlights, poor buddy! My parents came over that afternoon to watch the kids while we went and saw The Zone of Interest. I thought it was very very good and the sound design is incredible. We've seen all the Best Picture nominees now and I gotta say, not a bad film in the bunch! When we got back, my sis and Wayne were also over visiting. Nice to see them both 🤍
After everyone left, Lydia and Joey napped, Dempsey and I rested and then I made biscuit chicken pot pie for dinner and it was YUM! Dempsey actually went to bed early and easy (HALLELUJAH!) but not so much for that little girl who has a molar popping through and has had some rough bedtimes the past few days. She joined us on the couch while we finished Priscilla. Stylistically, I liked it quite a bit! But I felt it did nothing to convince me Priscilla herself was an interesting person and as charming and handsome as Jacob Elordi is, even he can't make me forget how young Priscilla was when Elvis first took an interest in her 😬 Literally how did that pass the approval of anyone around them??
I hope everyone has a good week, I'm feeling hopeful about it!
