This weekend felt so nice. We had a fairly busy Saturday but the rest of the weekend felt very low-key and relaxed. I’m all for that as we enter the busy-ness of summer 😎

Happy babies on Friday morning! I took them over to Grandma’s, then headed home to go on a run, do some work and head into Louisville to see my mom for a massage. Hadn’t had an appointment with her since my first trimester with Lyds?? So it had been too long. My parents have moved into a new office, so I got to check it out for the first time and it was so nice. Joey brought the kids home that evening and we just did leftovers, so it was easy-peasy. We’ve been sitting Lyds in her highchair so she’s comfortable in it by the end of the month when she starts solids?!?! How did we get here so fast?? Hopefully she’s as good with that spoon as Dempsey was 😊 Joey and I watched Top Chef after the kids went to bed and… I was sad about the ending. Excited for the finale though!

Joey was up early on Saturday so he had Greek yogurt pancake batter ready to go by the time I got up, fed Lyds and made it downstairs. So good and fluffy!!! Dempsey is so into drawing right now and I love seeing what his little brain comes up with. He told me that little face was Coco 🥺😍 He also wanted me to lay on the stairs with him to look up at the ceiling. Joey had a meeting at 10 because he’s coaching Dempsey’s soccer league that starts this Saturday! Sounds like it’s going to be wild but fun 😄 While Demps went down for his nap, Lydia and I ate lunch and a purple straw 😋

The second half of the day included a mani/pedi for me — I took that pic while I was sitting with Lydia on the floor and now I’m realizing it looks like I’m trying to push her 😂😬 — a really messy chocolate snack for Dempsey and a date night for Joey and I! Grandpa Steve and Lorna were kind enough to watch the kids so my sis, Wayne, Joey and I could all go see a movie. It’d been ages since we all went together! What can I say about Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse except that I loved every single second? The animation is astounding, the character work is beautiful, the plot is genuinely interesting and surprising and well, it’s just incredibly witty. We all really liked it! The kids were mostly asleep by the time we got home and it sounded like they had a good night too 🤍

After our later-than-usual Saturday night, we all slept in on Sunday! Joey was still up first, so he made us all egg sandwiches and mine was extra good. Basil mayo, bacon and eggs two ways. I think I’m ruined for bagel sandwiches now! The rest of the day was really mellow. Joey and I did some toy clean-out/reorganization while Lydia napped and then the boys headed out to buy some shin guards, plus a soccer ball and net for Dempsey and then while both kids napped, Joey worked and I made salads for the week. Dress up for sis afterward apparently and then just leftovers for dinner and bedtime for the kids. Joey and I watched some of the Nuggets game, finished Season 3 of I Think You Should Leave and watched the first episode of the final season of Barry (finally!) then went to bed ourselves. Feeling actually rested and ready for the week, what a concept! Happy Monday!
