A Week to Remember (Part 1)

I'll be honest, I dreaded this week for days before it happened. What were we going to do? All 4 of us at home, little resources to go do anything fun, and it would be this way for a whole week? I was sure someone wouldn't make it through the week alive....and, to be honest, I feared it might be me! So, I started off the week by getting a pedicure. I had been given a gift card to an nice salon nearby and decided that I would use it to get "pretty feet."

We decided after picking Delaney up from school on Friday that a trip to the Y for some open swim time was in order. We had a blast for over an hour in the pool. That was a fun way to kick off our week!

The kids have wanted to sleep in Carson's bunk beds since the day they went up, but we won't let them on school nights and the one time Delaney tried before she gave up b/c Matt told her she had to follow Carson's rules in Carson's room and he wouldn't let her stay up and read b/c he wanted the light turned off. But, this time, they stayed put and they both slept. Luckily Car sleeps up in the top bunk b/c Delaney usually is hanging out of her normal twin bed.

Saturday was a birthday bash for my nephews....great family time, good Mexican food, and the yummiest homemade cupcakes and ice cream!!! Go Cara!!

Sunday we went to church and then cleaned out Delaney's closet. That might not sound like fun to most people, but I had a blast. I love clothes and shoes and having a daughter that also loves clothes and shoes makes my heart smile! She tried on all the clothes I layed out without whining, she even made silly remarks about what didn't fit or what she didn't like. It was a wonderful mommy-daughter afternoon.

Monday was supposed to be my jammie day, but Matt had a great idea to go work out before lunch.....grrr him and his great ideas. We had a great workout though and I felt better all day b/c of it! Then, we watched Ainsley for the afternoon. Seeing Carson with her desperately made me want to have another baby...then I started to remember the sleepless nights and how far we've come....never mind, we'll just borrow our neice and nephews instead!

Tuesday's agenda included Incredible Pizza Company with Grandma Teri and a sleepover for the kids at Grandma's house (yeah Mommy and Daddy!!!). Matt and I had a great time spending a gift card I'd been given for Christmas on a yummy dinner. The kids also had a great time staying up late at Grandma's house and watching Uncle Darrell on TV.
