So we have a laptop downstairs that both David and I use. For the lsat two nights it has been his turn to do things like go over our family budget and read emails...he doesn't have a smartphone so the computer is how he does it. If he goes too late, I can't blog. But hey, we are budgeting people, so it is ALL good and I just will blog for 2 days. But tomorrow the computer is MINE because it will be day 100 already! WHOA!
So Tuesday:
Got Connor off to preschool and did some stuff around the house. I also got to watch some series premiers without the kiddos around. Sat on the couch, drank some morning chamomile tea, and watched away....it was awesome.
I picked up Connor and brought him home and we hung out and played pirates and with toy animals for a while. He loves to be tickled and I really enjoy spending quality time with him. We walked down an got Joel from school and the boys came home and played with each other. It is so nice when they get along and have fun together! They played out in the backyard and got pretty soaking wet from a water gun fight. Then they came in the house and got dried off and sat and watched some TV with me. Their favorite movie lately has been Hotel Transylvania. It is pretty funny and I love watching them laugh!
The boys helped me make a Chinese meal for dinner and we sat down and ate all together. It was really nice to hear about their day and the fun things they did. I enjoy our family meals because it really is a good time to get my kiddos talking about their favorite things and have them open up about their day. They don't talk as much if we are at restaurants or playing. I am glad we have a dinner table to sit down and enjoy conversation.
Today, Wednesday....well, tonight I am covered in about 14 mosquito bites because we walked around our local pond/lake area tonight. It was SO much fun and the boys had the best time running around. We found a crayfish and played with it with a stick. The boys were all giggles watching it dance around. We stood on the little dock area and watched turtles bob their heads up and down. We brought Ginger and she met a friend on the other side of the lake and together, those two Golden Retrievers swam like crazy in the lake! Such an amazing, happy, family time....so basically SO worth the mosquito bites!
This morning after walking Joel to school, there were white strings flying through the air! ALL morning tons and tons of spider webs slowly floated through the sky and landed on light poles, fences, and everything else! It was magical! It turns out there were many spiders trying to take off with web balloons this morning, but there wasn't any wind so over and over again they shot off balloon webs into the air to try to float away with no luck. But it made for one interesting morning watching them all from the ground as they decorated trees and houses with very store bought looking webs lol.
It has been a bit of a crazy week and my visiting teachers brought us an amazing dinner tonight. I feel SO SO SO blessed to live in the area in which we live! We have met so many lovely people and my visiting teachers are just as lovely. The dinner was so yummy and it was nice to sit down and enjoy one another and get to talk with the boys again about their days.
Well, that is pretty much it for my day! Ginger got a nice warm shower after swimming in the lake this evening. She had the best happy moment out of all of us today I think! I am SO glad she met another friend tonight and I hope she gets to meet up with her new friend again soon! Oh, and the doggy's mom is from Laguna Beach! Small world we live in! Have a wonderful evening all!
