Recovering From A Busy Weekend
The weekends in our house are always busy but this past weekend it was really busy from Friday afternoon until late Sunday night.
Friday, Brent and I had been married for 8 years. We had decided to just hang out with some close friends. So we ordered dinner from my favorite Mexican restaurant and had a quiet evening at home. We got the girls down early and just had some adult time to talk and hang out. Which is something we rarely get to do. We were talking and look up and it was 1:30 in the morning.
As normal our girls woke up and ready to start their day around 6:40. So not much sleep for us. Our girls have not learned that on Saturday they are suppose to sleep in.
Saturday was also Brooklyn’s birthday. My first baby girl turned 4 on Saturday. Brooklyn has been wanting to get her hair cut so Saturday morning I had scheduled for the two of us to go get haircuts. So at 9:45 we went and go our hair cuts. She smiled the whole time she was in the chair. She was so excited!
While we were getting our hair done. Brent and some friends of our family were replacing two rows of tiles in our kitchen that had busted.
Brooklyn’s party was at her favorite place to spend fall day and that would be the Johnston’s Pumpkin Patch. So, we had her party at 2:00. There we had some family, friends from church and preschool. The party was lots of fun for everyone. We got to do a hayride, see and pet the farm animals and pick out pumpkins.
After the party my parents and one of Brooklyn’s friends came over with her parents and I fixed taco salad and the girls got to play some more.
Sunday Brent had to grout the tile he put down Saturday. I had to clean the house from all the party stuff the day before because we were throwing a surprise party for a good friend of ours Sunday night. We had told this friend Friday night that he and his family were going to come over and have dinner with us for birthday. So Sunday night we got everyone here before he got here and the surprise party was a success.
Over the weekend 2 of the girls and I started having this congestion/cough stuff from the weather changing so much. Which means they are not sleeping well at night and coming into bed with us. So this means Brent and I are not sleeping well.
So needless to say Monday was a definite recovery day. I am just glad that I am a stay at home mom and am able to stay home and recover from the busy weekend. I don’t think I would be a good employee on Mondays after have a busy weekend. I enjoy getting the older girls to preschool and relaxing with Savannah not having to do much.
