This has been a crazy busy weekend. Don't get me wrong, it was fun... just busy too.
Friday started out with school and deep cleaning the stove. I know.... that sounds normal enough. The real craziness didn't start until the preparation for my sister in law's baby shower.
Saturday was filled to the brim with activity. The day started with more prep for the party, with three kids underfoot. Then of course, there was the party. So fun... I just love being right in the middle of things. I take that back; really, I am not afraid to do whatever needs to be done... even if it makes me super uncomfortable. After the party there was the clean-up.... I love that even more than being the center of attention. Gifts to be loaded, and reloaded... ah, the puzzling that it took to get it all in.
Even though we already had a long day, my loving mother-in-law volunteered to take the girls home with her for the night. After spending almost 8 hours, I was glad to head home being down 2 kids was just the icing on the cake.
Why waste a night with almost no kids by staying home? I couldn't help it... It had been years since I asked Andrew on a date.
After my husband got off work, we loaded Landon into the car and headed out for dinner and a movie. It was a late night for us, but it felt really good to act like it didn't matter.
Adding to the busy weekend, Landon woke up early today, too early. We had to go to Sunday school, church and a wedding shower for a dear family friend. Getting my feet up after all that felt pretty good.
After I write it out... that doesn't sound like so much. After a little down time, I did manage to do a few chores.
Unloaded the dishes
Loaded the dishwasher
Cleaned off the dinner messes from the stove (this is a big deal, even if it was easy)
1 load of laundry
Tomorrow is normally a big chore day. I am praying for the motivation to really get the essentials done.
