For the first time in what feels like forever, (cue the Frozen song) the sun was shining!! I swear it gave everyone an extra pep in their step and the extra smiles on everyone’s faces. It wasn’t hot by any means or really truly that warm, but man we could escape outside for some fresh air and vitamin D without freezing our tails off!
Friday was Brooke’s ‘Helper Day’ and Joe wanted to go in to spend it with her. Our Pre-K is parent run, so every day there is a parent in helping and one of the student’s has a special turn at being the class helper. They had tons of fun!
I made it to the gym 2 days in a row and was trying to snap a sweaty selfie, even though I wasn’t sweaty any more. Brooke insisted she be in the photo with me!
Friday night we had our fist Book Club meetup. We were hoping to gather around the corner at the cute wine bar, but it was super packed and there was no room….so we moved to Bar Louie which was also really busy, but fun nonetheless!
It was hard to talk about books in a loud place so we made the most of it but decided next time we will gather at someone’s home.
It did prompt me to start making more time for books again. I have been listening to my audiobooks but I have not been making the time to pick up actual books. I am almost done with this and am SO anxious to see where it is headed! Saturday was the perfect combination of cuddling the kids, getting to the park for a little fresh air and resting. My body needed it.
And in puppy news, she’s doing so great!! I’m not gonna lie…it’s been a challenging few weeks of adjusting at times. Bailey and Holly love to play but they do get a little aggressive so we have to make sure they can’t fight over certain toys or get too rough with each other. She’s just 12 weeks old and we have had her for one month. Puppies are a lot of work but as we continue to work with her and train her, she’s really fitting in well.
I wonder how long she will fit on this bottom step for…
Sunday was kind of a laid back day. Joe got up early to run some errands for the houses and the kids and I resumed positions reading/playing with ipads/kindle. I made a big breakfast and we did a little Target run, had sushi and visited our friends’ baby Aiden. The kiddos got to play outside and it was so nice to feel that sun!
We wrapped up the weekend with grilling chicken for the week, I worked on the Pre-K Newsletter and walked the dogs one more time. It was refreshing and just what my soul needed; we need more weekends like this. Summer, please hurry!
After such a long stint of cold crappy weather, I am so grateful for the sun. I think this may be the 4th day in a row of sunshine and we are not taking it for granted!
Happy Monday Friends!
