Good morning from my scratchy throat and runny nose, just in time for our kid-free vacation at the end of the week! 😣 Demps came down with something on Thursday and was not feeling his best that day or the next, but he seems fine now, so I'm hopeful that Joey, Lydia and I are all better just as quick. We still had a fun weekend! My aunt and uncle -- who I hadn't seen in eight years! -- were in town and we hosted a big family BBQ at our house. It was such a good and fun visit with everyone and it made my heart so full and happy 🤍 Followed it up with a down day on Sunday. It was so hot outside, so we all hid inside and had cabin fever but we did get all our chores done and Joey cooked us a good, uh, soup for the 96 degree day 😂
Joey had a golf tournament on Friday, so I got the kids up and dressed and fed and over to Grandma's for the day. Lydia left Bitty Baby in her car seat and it made me do a double take when I looked in the rear view mirror. I got my nails done and grabbed a few things at Whole Foods, including the Barbie Olipop and I thought it was delicious! Back at home, I worked and then Joey came home and we both went to pick the kids up. Ate some leftovers for dinner and I had a few moments of dinner peace when they both wanted to sit on Joey's lap 😂🥰 Got them both bathed and to bed before firing up a movie. We finished this on Saturday night and I thought it was just okay. Bordering on funny but not quite there for me.
Dempsey slept 7-7 and seemed so much better on Saturday! And I was asleep at 9:15, so I felt pretty good too! Went for an early morning run and then Joey made us some banana oat pancakes and gosh, I love a good dense pancake with some texture. Spent the rest of the day hanging out, playing and cleaning up the backyard so we could have people over at 3. Demps helped me melonball a watermelon and he was very dedicated to his task 🥺
Stole a bunch of my aunt's photos and she got some good ones of us all hanging out and catching up. My brother and his family came down as well and it was so sweet seeing his older kiddos hang out with my younger kiddos. The cousin bond knows no age difference, I guess 🤍 My niece had had a birthday earlier in the week, so we celebrated with Chantilly cake. We got the tripod out for that group photo and then Dempsey used it for the rest of the night, which was very funny. He doesn't have a bad eye! The kids were up later than usual and I guess Lydia was ready for bed 😂 I'm so glad we were able to have this get together and I hope it's not eight years before we do the next one 😊
Joey made us egg sandwiches (hashbrowns and waffle for Lyds) for Sunday breakfast and then it was laundry, cleaning the humidifiers, making salads and putting Lydia down for her nap before I headed out to get a pedicure. Joey made us a really good tomato-bean soup and cornbread for dinner and both kids skipped the soup and only ate the cornbread 😂 Got the kids to bed and watched some Olympic trial coverage before getting into our own bed.
Happy Monday!
