We had an at-home, all-by-ourselves, get-stuff-done kind of weekend. And it was lovely.
On Friday night, we had pizza for dinner and we watched a Jackie Chan movie.
Saturday morning, Eric grubbed the lawn (put stuff on it to kill grubs), and I worked on laundry. In the afternoon, we ran errands I’ve been trying to run for three weeks. So nice to get all of that done!
Then in the evening, we watched a movie (America’s Sweethearts) while trying to get dinner and figure out why Erin would NOT sleep unless she was being held. Eventually, she got Tylenol. After that and her bedtime nursing, she was happy as could be. Weird. Anyway, after the babies were in bed, I ironed and then we watched television for a while.
Sunday was church, then Eric grilled brats for dinner. Then some resting and hanging with the babies (they’re so cute these days!). Then we got some more work done. Eric cleaned his grill. I finished some laundry, deep-cleaned bathrooms, and cleaned up the kitchen. And then I watched Nanny McPhee while eating supper and entertaining babies. And then we watched part of Meet the Robinsons because Eric had the remote and he’d only seen the end of it (he still hasn’t seen the beginning).
In other news:
- Thankfully, we are definitely on the downward side of these colds. Mine is still clinging on, but the babies are both starting to sound much better now.
- Erin is thisclose to creeping. She’ll reach for a toy and bring her knee up for leverage which pushes her just the tiniest bit forward. She will do it twice in a row and then stop. But a third try would get her the toy. I figure she’ll figure that out in the next few days.
- We are planning to go to Buffalo this weekend for a gathering of my mom’s family. We’re a little nervous about 6-hour car drives and first nights in a hotel room for the babies. But we figured there was going to have to be a first time, and it might as well be now. And that also means that I have a TON of stuff to do to get ready. So that will probably be what I focus on this week. Should keep me hopping!
And that is the world as I know it. Happy Monday!
What a great weekend! I hope your trip goes well. Have fun!
Good for you for deep-cleaning your bathrooms. I know you hate that job like I do. Want to stop over and do mine? Ha ha. 🙂
Those milestones are so wonderful! Enjoy.
What a great weekend!! You watched a lot of movies!
And, I’ll be praying for your drive. We have made a few 6-hour trips and one 11-hour trip
, and have discovered that nighttime is the right time for us. That way, Will can just sleep after his “evening feeding.” During the day, he seems to just get fussy at having to be in his seat for so long. For what it’s worth!! I hope it goes well for you!
Except for the drive, I wish I was going to Buffalo this weekend. Give everyone hugs for me1 And, tell them I wanted to come. My kids decided to come home for the weekend, so I’ll be having fun, too!
Hope your week goes well! I think that you may have to buy some frozen treats to sustain you during packing.
