We had a really good weekend because: It's June! It's Summer! We went fishing! Being outside is the best! Also, these babies are just sleeping so so so much better and I feel human again, instead of tired and impatient. Hallelujah!
I dropped the kids off at Grandma's on Friday morning, then snuck in a run, got some work done and headed out to get my nails done. Dempsey told me to get orange, so I did and I love the color! Joey brought the kids home later on and then we had pork burrito bowls for dinner. Got the kids bathed and in bed before watching Top Chef 😊
We had a fun little Saturday adventure 🤍 Bob, Becca and their two girls were up camping at Carter Lake and invited us up for lunch and fishing! They were kind enough to feed us all and the four kids did some laps in their camper afterward 😂 We were just about to head to the lake when it started sprinkling, so we took refuge in the tent that had set up outside. That is, until the wind started blowing so hard that the sides of the tent were popping inward! We all rushed back to the camper but it blew over pretty quick and we were still able to drive to the lake. I don't think we ever really had a shot at catching any fish, but it was a fun time anyway. We got covered in red dirt and put our feet in the water to cool off. I think everyone had fun! I thought both kids would sleep in the car on the way home, but all we got was fifteen minutes out of Lydia 🤪🤷♀️
Back at home, we unpacked, Joey and I each took a shower and Dempsey helped me mix up some pizza dough for Sunday. Another bath night for both kids and then we got them to bed and sat outside for a bit. Felt so nice! 🥰 Came inside to make popcorn and start a movie, but more on that later.
Sissy sees Dempsey sleeping with a pillow and blanket and seems to want her own set 😍 Joey was up earlier than the rest of us and made us waffles! Afterward, we got the kids in the stroller and walked up to the Highlands Farmers' Market. It was super busy and crowded, but felt so nice to not be in the rush that I was in every time I went last year, trying to make it back before Lydia's morning nap. We got coffee, cherries, sweet potatoes and our fill of people for the day 😂 Back at home, the day seemed to stretch on forever somehow! We even had time to clean the oven, do a toy rotation, make salads, do laundry, watch a movie with Dempsey and play outside before dinnertime. My parents got Joey an outdoor pizza oven for his birthday and this was our first time trying it out. Definitely a learning curve, but I'm excited to get it down. The white pizza was my favorite and next time, Dempsey says we should make a green pizza 😂 I'm down! The littles were so wound up at bedtime, but we got them to sleep and finished our movie. I thought the plot was pretty bad but we also laughed a lot, so we had fun overall.
This week, the kids get back to back to back to back Grandma days and are taking a trip to the zoo. I'll have the day off with them on Friday, so I'm hoping to do something fun and then we start soccer and go to Elitch's for the company picnic! Should be a good good week!
