What a fabulous weekend!
Friday night I just played outside with the kids when I got
home from work. John was in Bristol and
there was nothing pressing we needed to do.
The bad thing was that I was so tired and just didn’t have any
energy. We were going to order pizza,
but I decided to make BLTs instead. I
went in and cooked dinner while my parents watched the kids play.
After dinner my dad volunteered to stay with Colton while he
slept and Josh and ryan and I went on a bike ride (Kylie was at Rachel’s). Ryan has been really into riding his bike
lately (thank goodness because I thought the kid would never want to learn
how), but he hadn’t been farther than our court. We wanted to go and check out the next
extension of our bike path, so I walked/jogged by Ryan while Josh rode
ahead. I was so proud of Ryan – he made
it all the way up through the new phase of the neighborhood, down the new bike
path, and then through the dirt where they haven’t paved yet (I was pushing him
there). It was a fun activity and I felt
a lot better afterwards. That night,
Josh and Ryan laid in bed with me for a while watching TV, and then Ryan wanted
to go up to his bed, so I took him up.
Josh fell asleep with me watching the Bears game :)
The next morning Colton let me sleep until 8:00, which was
nice. We got up and played around the
house and I decided that I was going to be brave and take all of the kids to
the pool. Thankfully for me, my dad volunteered
to stay back with Colton so he could nap. So Josh, Ryan, my mom and I headed out to get
Kylie and head to the pool. The kids had
a blast playing and it was good to be in the sun again! We were there from 11:30 until about 3:45 (with
Ryan going home during that time for a nap) – a great afternoon!
When we got home, I got ready and then got the kids ready
and when my sister got there, we all (including my parents) headed over to
Easton for dinner, shopping and playing in the fountains. I was worried about Colton because he hadn’t
napped all day! My dad had laid him down
a couple of times and I had tried right when we got home, but nothing! He didn’t even fall asleep on the ½ hour drive
over there (but the two older kids did!).
We had a great dinner at Abuelo’s and my sister was able to
get the items she needed from the Container Store. Colton was amazing! He was in a great mood and ate a good amount of
my enchiladas! Then we walked through
the mall area over to the fountains.
Josh, Ryan and Colton ran through them.
It was getting dark and I thought it was very chilly, but the boys didn’t
mind :) After they were done, we changed
clothes and went to Barnes and Noble for some books. The kids had a great time looking at books
(Ky and Josh) and playing with the Thomas set up (Ryan and Colton), or “Thomas
choo-choos” as Colton calls them :)
After that we went home (again, Colton did not fall asleep in the car!) and
the kids crashed into bed at 10:00.
Sunday morning we got up and went to church. It was weird being there without John. After church we came home and three of us
took a nap (Colton, Ryan and me :) ).
Then it was off to the grocery store and came home to John being
back! We only got a couple of hours with
him because he had to go and start the move of his office :( But we had a great dinner of burgers and corn
on the cobb! Then it was homework and
bed time for kiddos!
A fun weekend and of course, it was great to get John back!
