My Saturday

My Saturday turned out really well. It didn't start off so hot. David had to do some work and went in at 6am. I figured he'd be there for a good portion of the morning and possibly into the afternoon. I'm used to David being here to manage the kids in the morning with me. I prepared for getting the kids ready all by myself. It was a bit of a challenge, but I did it. I was due to meet up with my friends Cat and LaRain for breakfast around 9:15am. They were scheduled to get pedicures afterwards. Since I had the kids, I told them I could only do breakfast. I started the process of getting the kids ready around 8:45am and with many missteps (spilled drinks, cleaning up food on the floor, and a new outfit for Lily as she somehow got water all over herself) I finally left around 10 after 9 o'clock. I noticed that my car was very very low on gasoline and considering it was snowing outside, I decided I better tank up. I finally arrived at the restaurant around 9:30. I guess not too bad for all the craziness. Once at the restaurant, I realized I hadn't left David a message that we were out. I pulled out my phone and called David. Right as I called, David walked into the restaurant! He got off work much earlier than expected and he came to get the kids so I can get a pedicure too! Thanks David!!! This really lifted my spirits. I was feeling a bit blue the last few days. Just feeling overwhelmed with Motherhood and feeling like I hadn't had a break from it for a long time. This was just what I needed. Some pampering and girl friend time.

Another treat came along when the kids both slept at the same time for almost 3 hours! David and I actually got to have an adult conversation. I miss my husband and our chats! So, today was a good day despite my pessimism about it this morning.

Here are some fun pictures we took of the kids...


Lily had her first "owie" on her toe. I think the bandaid lasted maybe 5 minutes?



Floor time!
