This weekend was awesome, but exhausting! On Friday, my nephew came home from his dad’s but he needed to be picked up from the airport. His plane didn’t land until midnight! Emerson and I went to my sister’s house to hang out before we all got into the car around 10:45pm. Em ended up falling asleep in the car on the way there and the entire way back. I figured he would. He was up about 3 hours past his bedtime. He went right back to bed when we got home around 1:30am. It was a really long night, but I was so happy to have my nephew home. On Saturday, we had originally planned on going to the waterpark, but the weather was awful. It was raining and storming when I woke up. I texted my sister and asked if she’d want to change plans and take the kids to the movies instead. She thought it was a great idea. Emerson slept so late. I finally woke him up around 11:11am. The movie started at 1:50pm, so we had a bit of time to kill. After breakfast and a quick bath, we headed up to the theater for Emerson’s very first movie. We saw “The Secret Life of Pets”. He sat the entire movie! I was so worried because I didn’t know if he would act wild, or try to get out of his seat and run around. None of that happened. He filled up on so much popcorn and candy, while we watched the movie. I was so proud of him for sitting still. The movie itself was adorable too. we had such a nice afternoon. Afterwards, we visited my parents, then hung at my sister’s house for a bit longer before heading home for the night.
Emerson slept until about 8am on Sunday morning, which was a surprise to me. I checked the weather. There was no rain the forecast until later in the evening, so we decided to give the waterpark a try. I’m glad we did! The weatherman was wrong. Mostly cloudy quickly turned into gorgeous and sunny before we even parked the car. We spent 5 hours at the waterpark. It was a blast having my nephew with us. He went down the slides with Emerson and played with him so much. Em was loving it. My sister and nephew rode so many of the big slides too. She hasn’t really gotten to do that yet, so I know she had a great time. Em started crying at the tail end of the day though for no reason. I think he was just exhausted. We typically do not spend 5 hours there. We usually cap out somewhere between 3.5-4 hours. He was beat! We called it a day around 4pm. Em and I went home and just hung out for the rest of the night. He had dinner and a bath, then went to bed. I went to bed early too. I was exhausted. We both have sunburn too, which means we’ll be hibernating inside all week until it lightens up a bit. It was a really nice weekend though. We had a lot of fun.
This week, we have nothing planned at all. We’re just laying low. I’m fine with that. We have a nice weekend planned coming up, so I think having a boring week will be okay. We’re going to Jellystone Park this weekend. It’s a cute waterpark that is centered around a Yogi Bear theme. I hear that it is absolutely adorable. They are having Halloween in August this weekend too, so the kids will get to trick or treat and I believe they’re doing a hayride. We’ll also be heading to the Waterpark on the opposite day that we go to Jellystone. We got my nephew a pass yesterday, so he’s anxious to take some friends and to go again. It’ll be our 8th trip there! It was a great investment and I am so glad that we have these passes.
Soccer starts on September 7th. I still have to sign Emerson up for it. I can’t sign him up until September 2nd though. The cost is $110.00. I really hope that all of the spots aren’t taken. If so, then I’ll just have to pick a different day. I really want the Saturday 10am slot, but if I have to take something else, then I will. It’s for 8 weeks. The kids get shirts and such, so I don’t think the cost is too outrageous. I just can’t afford to finish up our summer bucket list and pay for that at the same time. I think it’ll be okay, but even still, I’d feel better if I could register him early. We’ll see how things pan out. I’m super excited that he’s going to get to be on a team and to start learning the game. I know it’ll probably be pure chaos with a bunch of toddlers on the field, but early exposure seems like a good idea to me.
Alright, I have lots to do. Have a super week!
