We kicked things off early on Friday. We had lunch with some friends in the neighborhood and then headed home to squeeze in a nap before Jennifer was to arrive after taking her foster dog to visit a potential adoptive family who happens to live in Cypress...anyway we hardly ever see each other and I was super excited. Chad was very concerned when I informed him of Jennifer's visit and the reason behind it...he thought we might be the adoptive family...2 boston terriers is quite enough for any house I think...so no we were and are not the family!
When Jennifer arrived Jude was very disappointed (and he used that word - he learned it from Word Girl "Word Up") because Rebecca had not come. He asked several times why but eventually was distracted by the air mattress I had blown up for the boys to jump on (it was kinda rainy and we need to get energy out some way).
After a delightful visit with Jennifer we watched a movie, ate dinner and went to bed. The first part of Saturday was spent cleaning house. Of course while cleaning house Jude and Shiloh disappeared outside.
When I found them they were playing...in the mud...so we cleaned them up.
While Asher slept in his swing.
Saturday evening we went to my sister's graduation party! Yay Charity! Good job! A college graduate! Love you!
Sunday dawned bright and early. 6am. Hmmmmmmm. Why can Jude not sleep in?
Putting aside the multiple meltdowns my children had (yay!?!?) it was a lovely day. We had coffee. Daddy went out and procured some yummy bagels and cinnamon twists for breakfast. Chad started to put together baby books for Shiloh and Asher and attempted to fill in some of the gaps in Jude's as my gift. Jude and Shiloh helped make a cake for mommy, whilst mommy took a bath with the leftover lavender bath salts (gifts for Charity and Mimi) and read the 5th book in Game of Thrones.
We went to lunch with our church. We took naps. Impromptu photo shoot of baby Asher (not the greatest but if anyone who is a photographer would like to take some of this cute kid for free that would be awesome...if not we will settle with Mommy Shots).
Dropped off gifts for Mimi. Visited with Granny. Watched "the funnies" as Chad calls them (America's Funniest Home Video's) or "Captain America" as Jude calls them. Boys to bed. Yay!
Children are a blessing even if they have meltdowns all day long :)
Whew. Just typing this post makes me tired. It was a long weekend following a long week. But it was good. Now I'm off to make dinner!
