Hello and Happy Monday! We made it a whole week into school before getting sick π
π£ Dempsey is home today with a super stuffy nose and low energy but I'm hoping he's better by mid-week. We still managed to have some fun this weekend with an outdoor movie night on Friday, a good grill dinner on Saturday and breakfast with Aunt Bean and Uncle Wayne on Sunday!
Friday, Demps went to school (I guess he's just back to napping now because he took one every day he was at school this week π€·♀️π€ͺ), Lydia went to Grandma's and I sat in the queue waiting for Glow in the Gardens tickets for an hour and fifteen minutes! Worth it though because Dempsey was so excited when I told him I got tickets. Lori, Lydia and I picked him up from school and then we made a good fort to play in until Joey got home. I made us panko-crusted chicken and the kids acted like it was poison and then we decided to set up the projector for a movie night! Poor Lydi had to go to bed but my sis, Wayne and the neighbors all came over to watch with us. Watched Chip n' Dale: Rescue Rangers because that's what we watched last year and Dempsey really is my child π He was so excited and happy and I loved it so much π₯Ίπ€
A Saturday at home π Joey made us chocolate chip banana waffles and then we took the kids to the park/library. Later on, I decided to clean the grill and it was a fun time having the kids help until they were fighting over a pair of rubber gloves π€·♀️π Dempsey grilled us some "chicken" aka his roller skates while we grilled some skirt steak for dinner and you just never know what your kids are going to like when you cook. Steak is fine, cheesy potatoes are good but chimichurri is for spooning straight into your mouth π Joey also shook up some pΔ©na coladas on the rocks for us and then we let the kids joyride in Dempsey's motorized car. It was the absolute cutest but Dempsey was A MESS when we made him go inside for bed afterward. Looking back, I think this was the cold coming in but woof, that was a rough bedtime. We put on La Chimera afterward but I was also so tired and we only made it about an hour in. What a weird movie so far.
Dempsey woke up Sunday with a runny nose and then needed a blanket at breakfast. The Fox and the Hen is so good. They make a mean pistachio-flavored latte! After breakfast, we drove over to Cheesman Park so my sis could take our anniversary photo. The kids did so good posing and can you believe we are coming up on our tenth wedding anniversary?! Dempsey was running all over with Uncle Wayne like he wasn't sick but when we got home, he told me "I'm afraid I'm not feeling well," which was both cute and sad. He basically spent the rest of the afternoon vegging on the couch. Lydia and I did some art and then she took a nap and I meant to make salads but ended up hanging out with Dempsey on the couch and taking a nap of my own. Glad Joey could hold it together for us! I did finish my book though and I really really liked this one. I just passed it along to my mom. I made us some pasta for dinner and the kids ate so many noodles as they were cooking and then didn't want any dinner. When will I learn?? Dempsey had some energy back by then and was having me chase him around the backyard but he had a rough night last night so here's to hoping he can get some sleep soon and be on the mend.
Wishing you all a good week!
