We did so many fun things this weekend and I was in a bad mood during most of them 😕 And who knows why! I’m gonna blame post-vaca blues or just every day frustrations getting to me or both. We did end on a high note with a good dinner and a family walk though 🤍

Friday was a good day! I dropped the kids off at Grandma’s and treated myself to a rainy day PSL from MOB Coffee, then got a lot of work done. Plus we finally got our dishwasher fixed. Only a month and three visits from the repairman later 😬 Felt like going out, so we met my sis and Wayne at Edgewater Public Market. Juggling adult conversation, feeding two small children, eating my own food and restaurant noise is always so overstimulating for me but we had fun just the same.

We have been moving Lydia from her bassinet in our room to her crib in their room after her dream feed and for the most part it has gone really well but there are definitely nights when they wake each other up and it’s always so rough. We were all up multiple times Friday night and were up for the day at 6 AM on Saturday 😩🥱 Tried to revive us all with pumpkin pancakes but neither of my kids seemed into them. Late morning, I got to take Dempsey to his swim lesson and he did so good!!! It was so fun to see it in person 🥹😍 During his nap, I took Lydi on a walk to the coffee shop and the leaves are already changing here in Denver. That night, I did something I’ve wanted to do all summer… a mommy-son date to the Rockies game! He asked for cotton candy from the second we got in the car until the top of the fifth when I finally bought him some. Stayed through the 7th then took our boy home. We had a really good time AND the Rockies won!

We all slept good on Saturday night and woke up for quick breakfasts and a walk to the farmers’ market. I’ve been three times with one or both of the kids but was excited to go as a family. It was perfect weather and we were in and out before it got too crowded. Got corn, apples, tomatoes, shishitos and a cronut for the boys 😋 Got to play with Lyds during Dempsey’s nap and take Dempsey to Home Depot for mums during Lydia’s nap — check out his cool Frozen box from Auntie Lauren! — and then we all played outside for a bit before I started cooking dinner. Chicken teriyaki burgers were so good! Took a walk afterward then put the kids to bed. I wish it could be fall weather like this forever!

Happy 9 Months to Miss Lydia today!
