We had an absolute BLAST this weekend! On Friday night, I stopped at the grocery store before grabbing Em from daycare. I bought pizza for us to make at home for dinner. Yes, I can have pizza in moderation! Anyway, we ate dinner and just played until Em went to bed. I worked out with a co-worker during the day, so I was able to sit and relax after he went to sleep. It was really nice. I feel like all I do is rush around, so it’s always appreciated when I can just sit and not have anything to do. I ended up catching up on one of my shows: Total Divas. I am hooked on it and I don’t even watch wrestling.
On Saturday morning, I got up earlier than Em. I cleaned up, made some coffee in my Keurig (I finally brought it home from my parent’s house), then caught up on some BeachBody work. Em slept in until nearly 8am, which was nice. We had big plans to go to the Children’s museum, so when he woke up, I loaded him up with a big ol breakfast, then we played until it was time to get ready to head out. Em napped in the car on the way to the museum, which took about 30 minutes to drive to. Then, he napped an additional 20 minutes, while we waited for my sister, her fiancé, and his kids to get there. He was all rested up for a big day of play! The museum was AMAZING! It was nice because Em could just run and do whatever he wanted. He loved the freedom. Everyone helped out with the stroller and made sure it was always in sight too. That made it a lot easier on me. The place was adorable. I haven’t been there since I was a kid, so a lot had changed. It was fun to watch his face light up with every room that we entered. There was an entire water play floor that we skipped. I didn’t realize it was so involved and required the kids to get absolutely soaked. We’re going to go back just so Em can play on that floor. I’ll be prepared for that next time.
Sunday, we woke up early and headed out to run errands. Afterwards, we stopped at my best friend’s house for a quick playdate. After we got home, we ate, then Em napped 12-230pm. When he woke up, we went swimming at my parent’s house, then stopped by my other best friend’s house for a second playdate. It was a busy day! Em was tuckered out and in bed by 8pm. I did my workout, then parked it on the couch for the rest of the night until I pulled myself into bed around 10pm. Not bad!
Tonight, I’m taking Em for a much needed haircut. His curls are coming back in and his hair is getting unruly again. Hopefully he sits just as still tonight as he did for his first cut a couple months ago. His hair grows fast! On Thursday, we’re going to the zoo! I can’t wait. My sister and mom are coming with us. It’s not supposed to rain either. The forecast looks pretty bleak outside of Thursday and Friday. I chose Thursday because Emerson’s daycare is having an ice cream social on Friday. I don’t want him to miss out. This is his first trip to the zoo though. We didn’t go last year because he was still too young. I think he’ll love it now. I just worry about him running off. He can be a bit wild. At the museum, it was okay that he did that. All of the rooms were interactive. He can’t just run off at the zoo.
Other than that, we don’t have any plans. We’ll probably try to swim at some point over the weekend, but we’re just laying low. This morning was already crazy enough for me. After I took Em to daycare, I had to run and do all of the grocery shopping. I picked up a booster seat, so that we can try to invoke some table manners into him. He hates the highchair now, but likes being at the table. That usually involves him standing. I’m really going to work on him SITTING at the table. Much safer! Let’s hope it works! Anyway, after I did the shopping, I had to come home to put it all away. Now, I am working from home, so I can get the laundry done. Not too bad. It has already been an extra busy day at work. I’m taking my “lunch” and then going to work out with my mom before logging back onto work for a few afternoon meetings. Today will be her first 21 day fix workout. I’m so excited for her! I hope she keeps an open mind and really tries to get through it. She isn’t always the most motivated person, so I hope I can push her to keep with it. Wish me luck!
Alright, guys. I hope you all have a fabulous week!
