This weekend was so full and wonderful that Brady and I felt like we wanted to keep moving. We had planned for a nice comfy jammie day at home, but once the kids were down for their nap, we were sort of itching to get out of the house. We made a mini plan of what we could potentially do in the city.
We got the kids up pretty quickly after they started moving around, and chucked them in the bath. Dekker and Laela always bathe together, and today, Dekker wanted to stay in and be part of Rowans bath too, so I hung out with Laela in my room for a bit. She was so adorable!!
I couldn’t resist showing her off a little bit, so I quickly FaceTimed my parents so I could show them her beautifully curly, freshly bathed hair. Also, Laela is enjoying watching herself in the mirror these days so she liked her picture in the corner of the screen. Dekker came and joined in the FaceTime and before long, it was just too late to go to the city. I mean, we could have done it, but it would have been either an unreasonably short trip, or we would have to keep the kids up way past their bedtime. I’m not too terribly worried about a later bedtime, but after the last two days bursting with energy, I wasn’t sure how they’d do being up later. We didn’t want to risk it. So we stayed home, which was good too.
The kids ate some leftovers for supper, but Brady and I had eaten a bit later while they napped, so we planned to eat once they were down for the night. After their supper, we all went downstairs and instead of watching some tv, we threw Zumba into the wii and Brady and I jumped around like idiots for probably about an hour. It was hilarious and we were awful at it, but it was a decent workout even just to stay moving that long. The kids jumped around and waved their arms, and we all “worked out” a bit. Then it was diapers, tidying, and to bed. I’m curious if even just that short little faux-work out will affect my sleep.
So Big and Middle are tucked away, and Little is having his bottle before he hopefully goes down right away, and then Brady and I can figure out some supper and run a tub. He’s back to work tomorrow, and we’re back to normalcy yet again. We did a pretty good job of catching the house up after being gone for a few days, but there’s a bit more to do, so maybe I’ll do some cleaning tomorrow. Otherwise, we have a pretty relaxed week ahead of us. If anyone wants to come play, just say the word!
