Weekend Recap

Not a whole lot to report from our weekend adventures.

A attended Virtus training on Saturday morning (it’s a Catholic thing, but has to be done in order to spend any time in W’s school).  I was supposed to go too, but we couldn’t find a sitter for the boys.  Instead, the boys and I decided to check out the new park near W’s school.  I thought the park was so neat – artificial grass, lots of structures to climb, and a relatively big playground.  

W somehow skinned his ankle and seemed to lose interest quicker than expected.  Luckily A got out of the training early and joined us.  Since W was ready to go and S was not (so typical), W and I headed to the pet store to pick up more cat supplies while A and S stayed at the park.  We met back at home for lunch.  The boys played for a while, I made mac and cheese, and then it was time to head to the preschool picnic.  I serve on the school Executive Board with four other ladies and I’m really enjoying it.  The other ladies are wonderful and I honestly wish I could quit my job and work for a nonprofit educational organization – it won’t happen, but that is my dream.  Anyway, I enjoyed catching up with the ladies while the boys enjoyed a picnic dinner and running around the play area.

Sunday, we attended church at our new church.  It was packed and we sat in an area filled with kids.  There are times when I think my kids are too loud at church, but on this occasion, they looked like angels compared to some of the kids who were yelling and tackling each other.  Whoa.  We met up with my mom at Starbucks afterwards.  That afternoon, we had groceries DELIVERED.  What what?!?  This is a total game changer, friends!!  We decided to try it because it was free for the first delivery and the drivers can’t even take tips.  So we had nothing to lose.  We got all of our groceries, didn’t have to deal with 35 trips to the bathroom, didn’t have to listen to S ask to play with the toy cars, didn’t have to deal with kids throwing random junk food in the cart.  IT. WAS. AMAZING.  Grocery delivery forever!!!  

I made dinner, which I love doing on Sundays.  The boys were defiant and crazy for the second Sunday in a row.  I purposely try to keep Sundays free so we can have some downtime and prepare for the week ahead, but I’m starting to think I need to make more plans because the boys are bouncing off the walls while A and I question our sanity.  And that was our weekend.

Also, A had to head out to pick up something and when he returned, W declared, “Dad is home?!?  I was LITERALLY just in the garage!!”  How is my 5 year old speaking like a teenager?!?  What is happening??

OH!  I received another Stitch Fix.  It was a good one and I’ll share soon! J
