Last week I was in Atlanta for part of the week again, so
that made it go by fast. While I was in
Atlanta for the past 2 months, John had a habit of taking the kids to BW3s on
Thursday nights to eat and play trivia.
So it was nice when I got back into town last Thursday night to be able
to join them in their weekly activity.
Friday night was a wonderful night of playing outside and
hanging out with the neighbors. After
everyone went in for dinner around 7:45, our crazy family headed out for dinner
:) Since I hadn’t been home all week, we
didn’t have much dinner material in the house, and John didn’t feel like
cleaning up. So we headed down to Max
and Erma’s. Let me tell you, that was
one of the best family dinner experiences that I have had with our whole
family. Colton was in a fabulous mood
and the other kids were great! And we
had a great server, which of course makes all the difference. We came home, put the kids to bed and
crashed!
Saturday morning I got up and Ryan and I headed out with the two neighbors and their youngest kids that are Ryan’s age to Yutzy’s and Dings and Dents. I can’t explain how good it felt to be shopping for food for the family knowing that I was going to be there! We had a great morning out and even got to stop at a Farmer’s Market close by the house to get some fresh fruit and veggies. It was fabulous!
When we got home I made lunch and then we sat outside for a
while. Suzie was coming into town to
celebrate her birthday and when she got there, she, Kylie and I headed to the
mall. Kylie needed some clothes for
school and also some shoes. It was a
great afternoon of shopping and girl time :)
After our shopping trip we rushed back and then headed out for a dinner
out with everyone.
Dinner was good and the kids were good (Colton got bored
fairly early but what’s new?). After
dinner we headed to Jeni’s ice cream and then walked over to the city
playground/splash pad. It was beautiful
out and again, a lot of fun. After
dinner we headed home so that Suzie could open her presents and then hung out
for a while.
Sunday we had church (we’re doing a series on parenting by
Andy Stanley and I LOVE it!) and then came home. We did some things around the house and then
John and watched the movie Unstoppable which I hadn’t seen yet. After that we played with the kiddos and then
had dinner. It felt so good to cook
again! To go that long without meal
planning or cooking was killing me! And
to make it even better, during dinner John said “real food…it’s good to have
you back!” :) We finished the night off
with some conditioning led by Kylie and then milkshakes. The kids were in bed fairly early as we get
ready for the start of school this week, so John and I had some time to watch
tv and hang out. That is the ONE thing I
like about the kids being in school (not much else…I love summer :) ) – John and
I get time together at night since they need to be in bed earlier.
Tonight we have open house at the school and then our third
annual Cakes on the Court for the first day of school breakfast. John and I have both taken off the first day
of school, so I’m looking forward to a nice day with him and the little boys –
last year was so much fun! And the
weather is supposed to gorgeous this week, so that will be awesome! Only downside to this week is John leaves for
his annual Bristol trip Thursday :( Of
course after 2 months of me being gone he totally deserves it, but we’re still
going to miss him!
