Good evening all! What a hot saturday it was....for much of the United States there were many heat records broken far and wide! Here in Texas it was a sunny 96-98 for most of the day and we will take it considering places like Las Vegas and Arizona were 118+! We accomplished quite a bit today on our first saturday as home owners. As with all homes that come with a yard, lots of things needed fixing and tweaking so that is what we spent most of the morning doing. Sprinklers got fixed over the course of the day, I did some shopping to gather more items for around the home, and we all worked to put this place together as best as we could without our stuff in the home lol.
I began my morning playing with Star Wars action figures with Joel. Whenever I am asked, "Mommy will you play with me?" I try my hardest to always answer with a yes and get down and play for at least 20 minutes. Those moments of playing are so precious and they are going to be gone before I know it! I must say, my impressions of Yoda and Chewy are really improving! I did a mean C-3P0 this morning as well! We re-enacted scenes from The Empire Strikes Back. My kids are totally obsessed with Star Wars. I knew a lot of people that had kids who were 3 back in the day that loved it. Connor likes it, but Joel understands the story a bit more and I even got him saying, "Do or do not, there is no try." LOL I am raising my kiddos to be nerds and proud of it!
The painter came today and now 4 out of the 5 rooms upstairs are taped off. The master bedroom is still available so that is where Connor sleeps. Joel sleeps on the large puffy couch in the family room, and we sleep on an aero bed in the guest room downstairs. Hopefully we will look back on all of this and have those "remember when" moments!
We had an amazing lunch today! There is a place that you can create your own salads or order one of the many pre-selected ingredient salads. The place also comes with soups, a variety of wraps, and has the best ice for drinks around! I love the tiny little pellet ice that is nice and crunchy. It makes drinks so cold and they are perfect bite sized pieces for when you get to the bottom of the drink...ever have that kind of ice? If not, they sometimes have it at AM/PM or even hospitals lol I first began my love affair with that kind of ice at the hospital where I had Joel. I also had every single surgery there, so I got to have it quite often with apple juice a couple of years ago! Happy moments at the salad place!
Connor took THE longest nap today. We were driving home from shopping and literally one second he was chewing gum and talking and the next I told him to look out the window because there was a herd of Texas Long Horns in the field...I looked in the rear view mirror and he was out! 4 HOURS later he finally awoke with a happy attitude and ready for dinner...fine with me!
Well, tomorrow is a day of rest. Tomorrow is probably going to be rather boring without any books, tv, or quite toys from our church bag to keep the kids entertained. Hopefully it will all go well and we can come home and take naps...that will pass the time and I am ALL for that these days! Have a great night all for tomorrow begins another week and 4th of July is coming up!
