These lower key weekends have been so nice 🤍 I got my nails done, had dinner with our best friends, watched A LOT of Olympics, took the kids to Home Depot and the museum, and topped it all off with an afternoon at my parents' pool. The best!
I had a 12:45 nail appointment and yes, I did get there half an hour early so I could sit in my car and watch the men's 50M freestyle race and OUCH, my heart hurt for Caeleb Dressel! The kids spent the day with Grandpa Steve and Lorna then got dropped off at the office and were having too much fun over there. We had Hannah, Josh and the boys over and picked up Tocabe for dinner. The kids ran around and played together and the adults sat and drank wine and had mostly uninterrupted conversation?! It was BLISS! Also, they got me two "mystery date with a book" gifts for my birthday and it was the coolest. I can't wait to read what I got!
We hadn't had our normal Saturday morning waffles in weeks so it felt really nice to get back to it. We watched the women's vault final before heading out to Home Depot for the first Saturday of the month craft. Lydia had never been and neither had I. We had a great time! Dempsey was an old pro, hammering in nails and painting and Lydia was mostly interested in the white board marker and mixing all her paint together but she did help me hammer one nail in and I helped her spread some of that paint on the wood. They turned out so good! Back at home, we got the kids' lunch together and were just hanging out when Joey reminded me I had an eye doctor appointment in half an hour 😂🤦♀️ Afterward, more Olympics, playing outside, family workout -- Dempsey wanted to do his trampoline workout video while Joey and I did some yoga 🙂 and then Joey cooked us dinner. This black pepper tofu was so good and everyone seemed to like it! 👏 We got the kids bathed and in bed then watched Love Lies Bleeding and it went slightly off the rails toward the end but I really dug it still.
Joey and I were feeling very indecisive about our Sunday plans but we eventually decided to pick up biscuit sandwiches from Rise & Shine. The olive oil rosemary biscuit was so good! And we got to watch Suni win that bronze medal on the uneven bars before packing up and heading out to the museum. We got there right as it opened and headed straight for the health exhibit, which we pretty much had to ourselves for a good hour. Walked through the orca exhibit but it wasn't the best place for little kids. Snuck into the Discovery Zone fifteen minutes before it closed for cleaning and then ended our visit building a bird nest. Dempsey was nice and cozy and didn't want to come out 😂 Back at home, lunch and Lydia's nap, then I made salads and we watched the men's 100m race and WOW, THAT WAS EXCITING! Our feed cut out as they were waiting for the results and I was SURE the Jamaican sprinter had won, so imagine my surprise when we got the feed back up and Noah Lyles was celebrating. Whew! Once Lydi was up, we headed over to my parents' pool -- the sun went away and even though it was upper 90s, we were all chilly in there! -- then back to their place for dinner. We had a good time! Got the kids home and cleaned off and into bed before firing up Big Brother then getting into bed ourselves.
We have a short week because we're heading up to the cabin on Thursday! Can't wait 😉
