This weekend we commemorated the second anniversary of Elliott's passing with balloons and family, on a 100 degree day. We miss her constantly 🤍
We also celebrated Aunt Lauren's birthday, had a swim lesson, did a family work out that had Joey and I limping around the rest of the weekend, had breakfast with Joey's grandparents, visited a neighborhood splash pad, cooked two good dinners and watched a movie. It was sweltering, but we made the best of it.
I got a sunny Friday manicure then went home and worked until 4:30 when we headed over to Edgewater Public Market for Lauren's birthday dinner. I forget how funny it is that both Joey and his brother are married to Laurens until we are introduced to other people 😂 My children ran around the entire time we were there and it was crazy but fun. Back at home, they went to bed and Joey and I watched a few episodes of The Bear.
We had quick breakfasts on Saturday morning then headed out to an early swim lesson. Lydia found herself a comfy seat before the balloon release but I'm not sure Landon was as happy about it as she was 😂 After nap time, we did some family yoga and then I pulled Dempsey's trampoline into the living room and put a YouTube toddler trampoline workout video on. THEY LOVED IT! I think they did it three times in a row then watched about three others. Joey and I tried our best from the floor and it was HARD. Hence our aching calves 😂 Made a big pot of pasta for dinner and after the kids went to bed, we watched Problemista. We saw the trailer a bunch of times last year and it looked a little disjointed but I'm happy to report it all makes sense when you watch the film. I really enjoyed it!
Started Sunday with breakfast at Snooze. I looked away for a second and Lydia managed to fall backwards off the booth 🤦♀️😬 But other than that, it was a good time and it's always nice seeing Joey's grandparents. A bit later, the kids and Joey headed over to the neighbors' and I went shopping. Once Lydia was up from her nap, we gave them the choice of going to the regular park or the water park and water it was! Lydia was sooooo not into the water but all of a sudden, she went it and ended up loving it. Dempsey was spraying everyone (and himself) then moved over to where some kids were digging a moat. I'm glad we went! Back at home, Joey made us a really good dinner while I gave the kids a bath. Got them to bed and finished up The Bear. I was frustrated when the second episode was just Carmy and Richie yelling at each other but it got better after that. The whole season was just set up though, so I guess we'll see where it goes in Season 4. This felt like a good slow weekend 😊
