I am getting to bed before 10:30 tonight people!!! HAPPY MOMENT!
So today was another day of balancing putting things away and letting the kids enjoy their summer. Joel is kind of getting the short end of the stick this summer because he got out mid June and then starts school here in late August. But, I am doing what I can to keep it fun and make some summer memories with them!
Today we hung out in the morning and the boys helped me make eggs and toast. We got a good laugh out of Connor "gently" cracking the egg. He is a giant of a child and I don't think there is much his hands will ever do "gently" so smashing the egg w one hand into smithereens and then letting it seem through the cracks was his style of getting the egg in the bowl. He wasn't happy that Joel and I were laughing, but it was so cute!
After being on the computer a while trying to figure out how to get a Texas license for my line of work, still don't know how, I took the boys out and we got to drive "Hailey" the new car to McDonald's. We sort of have a Monday McDonald's thing going on right now and the boys love getting the new Despicable Me 2 toy each week. The place we went to today had an amazing play area and I think we will be back to that one again sometime. The boys had fun meeting new friends and playing on the play area.
We headed to the grocery store and had fun shopping there. I tell ya, there are SO many grocery stores in the area it really IS fun and is a genuine happy moment to shop at them. Today we did an organic grocery store and had fun picking out things for our salad with dinner tonight. We came home and played and I began dinner. Joel is getting so grown up! He helped me cut the celery, cabbage, lettuce, and grate the cheese. He loved it in the kitchen and was so proud to tell David how much he helped me with dinner. He now clears the table and cleans it after dinner as well...so nice!
Well, it is 10:25 so I need to be heading upstairs to get in bed pronto lol. I am grateful for a day with tiny happy moments to help me along my way. Our house is becoming a HOME for us and I am thankful for that as well. Have a blessed night all!
