We're still on our kick of packing in as much family time as possible. I'm getting pretty used to having Mickey home and it's going to be hard to see it end but the bills still have to get paid which means off to work he must go...I think in some ways he may actually be looking forward to the break from all of us. We're a handful that's for sure. In the meantime, we're taking advantage of his 24/7 presence and trying to enjoy every minute of it. This weekend was kicked off with a trip to Lowe's to build a fire truck...
...we never pass up these free opportunities for fun. Lowe's has a great program! They even had a real fire truck there that day to add to the fun...
I'm not gonna lie...once we got close to it, it was a little intimidating to the boys. Mommy and Daddy to the rescue!
We also squeezed in a trip to our favorite "bouncy bridge" park...
We all knows new fire hats are a necessity at the park!
Mickey taught the boys a thing or two about rappelling...
After all that fun, we were all a hot, sweaty mess and decided to hit up Starbucks for some cold drinks before heading home for lunch...mostly guacamole for this guy...
and naps. It was a fun morning!
The rain came along during nap time but we made the most of the rest of our day by running some errands and having a pizza and movie night. Good times!!
Saturday must have worn us all out because we overslept and missed the early service at church on Sunday morning. Good thing there's a second service. We enjoyed worshiping together and were happy to have the Ethan Parker Band help lead worship...
...we were seriously impressed! I even came home and downloaded some of their music. They were that good. The message at church was exactly what we needed to hear too. Love when that happens...love our church.
We spent the rest of our day at a little one year old's birthday party. Smash cakes and 1 year olds NEVER get old for me. Playing with friends and their toys never gets old for the boys...
...even if all of it is pink and way too small for 3 people to squeeze into.
We managed to get in a little run after we got home before the rain forced us inside again. Early bedtime for the boys meant time to catch up on some tv for me. Since Mickey was away for the night, I took advantage of the opportunity to watch "my shows" without torturing him. I might or might not have stayed up a little too late indulging myself with mindless tv...worse things have happened.
This morning the boys got to go to a play group while I got some time to myself. Since I had already tackled all of my errands, I took advantage of the opportunity for a stroller-free bridge run (I need to make time to do that more often!) and popped in the gym to lift some weights too. I also had time for a LONG shower, a rare event these days, and time to restock the boys library book collection. You better believe I squeezed in a trip to Starbucks too...nothing like a rainy morning to make you crave extra caffeine...
The rest of our day has been spent reading the new library books while indulging in some yummy treats...
....and I got to tutor while the boys napped. I love my weekly visits from my sweet, energetic student.
Now it's time to get motivated to whip up some dinner. And apparently from the photo above, I need to make time to repaint my nails...lol.
