What a weekend! We had snow and sun, chaos and peace, take out and homecooked meals. I guess we experienced it all 😂

I had bloodwork done on Friday morning and had to fast, and not eating breakfast just feels so wrong to me! Had to revive myself with a bagel sandwich from Call Your Mother 😋 While the kids were off at Grandma’s, I worked then got my nails done and then we picked up Ginger Pig for dinner and I think we all enjoyed it. Afterward, baths and bedtime for the kids and then Joey and I watched Top Chef and went to bed ourselves.

My mom texted me Saturday morning to ask how we all slept and I sent back a picture from my bed, on the floor of the kids’ room, so I guess that answers that 😅 We also woke up to a lot of really wet snow! Once we all made it downstairs, I made us some waffles and really good Tender Belly bacon.

Ace Hardware was doing a lawn mower trade in that day and Joey had done some research, so we loaded up our old mower and headed over… to find a mile of cars a half mile long! We got in to see how quick it would move but after fifteen minutes, we’d only moved a few cars up, so we bailed and we’ll try again (and earlier!) next weekend. Headed to Target to trade in our infant car seat instead and it was much more successful than our first trade in attempt. I got that swivel! Back at home, Joey and I both got a run in and post nap/rest time, the kids drove me to Las Vegas 😂 And then Joey made us a really good chicken and rice soup. Perfect for a snowy night! One last order of business before the kids went to bed: measuring Dempsey, because it was his half birthday! I can’t believe he’s closer to four then three now 🥺 Joey and I started You Hurt My Feelings but someone woke up inconsolable, so we had to call it quits and go to bed.

Sunday was my sister’s birthday and behold the difference in the weather between Saturday and Sunday!!! Lived in Colorado all my life, so I KNOW the weather can swing from one end of the spectrum to the other in spring, but it’s still hard to believe. Felt like I was in a funk all day but as soon as we got to the Botanic Gardens and saw all the beautiful tulips out in the fresh air, I felt instantly better. Gotta remember the power of the outdoors when I’m feeling discontent. We had such a nice time, then left around 5 to pick up Beau Thai for dinner back at our house. Chantilly for dessert and then everyone left and we spent too long getting our children to bed. Lydia has a cough/cold and I’m hoping that’s the reason she can’t seem to settle down for sleep on her own. It’s been rough! We did manage to finish our movie though and we both really liked it. Just a normal movie, with normal people and normal stakes.

Wishing you all a Happy Earth Day 🌎🥰
