Hello and how are you surviving the time change?? Dempsey has never ever been affected so I figured we’d have to pay for it with Lydia and so far, I’ve been right! They were both up early on Sunday and girlfriend was up from 3:30 to 4:30 last night ready to party?? Seasoned parents, please tell me this is temporary! We had a fun weekend but why does it feel like there’s just not enough time for fun AND chores??

I’ve always loved a November sunrise and they have been breathtaking this year! Got the kids to Grandma’s then headed straight to my manicure and I’m loving this sage green vibe. Joey brought the kiddos home and I had Blue Pan pizza waiting for everyone ☺️ Post-pizza, we had a dance party to “Dance the Night Away” on repeat and Dempsey screaming “when my heart breaks!” is now a core memory for me 😂

Saturday started with apple cider donut pancakes. A little bit time consuming but delicious! Then Joey and Dempsey were gone for most of the morning. First, making horseshoes and having fun at Home Depot then to Dempsey’s swim lesson. Back at home, Lydia graced me with an hour and a half-long nap that let me get some stuff done around the house (including unpacking our family holiday pajamas!) and then I was able to put Dempsey down for his nap and take my girl for a long walk around the lake. It was too nice not to get outside! At 2:30, Lori came over to hang with the kids while Joey and I headed to our Denver Film Fest showing of The Taste of Things. We liked but didn’t love it. The cooking scenes are truly astounding but the plot left us wanting. The kids had fun while we were gone and even got a visit from Delaney!

A Sunday that started at 5:50 AM 😅 I guess our sweet children just wanted us to get a head start on the day. Joey was already up, so he grabbed them while I laid in bed a bit longer but once we were all up, we loaded up the stroller and walked to get coffee. Did I mention the weather was beautiful this weekend?? Spent the rest of the morning trying to get some laundry and meal prep done before our matinee showing of MAMMA MIA! I’ve wanted to see it at The Buell for YEARS and it did not disappoint! It’s just undeniable! Got some picture updates of the kids from Grandma Sheila 🤍 Got home, said goodbye to our clan of babysitters, finished cooking dinner, then got the kids to bed. I was so tired and kept feeling like it was much later than it actually was. Here’s to a quick adjustment to the time change for us all!
