What a good weekend we had! A low-key Friday, a productive but relaxing Saturday and a busy but wonderful Sunday.

Friday night continues to go too fast 😞 Dinner as soon as the kids get home and bedtime almost as soon as dinner is over. Afterward, we started Top Chef, but my new MO is to fall asleep on the couch every night so we didn’t make it far 😂

Up bright and early for breakfast with Grandpa Steve and Lorna. The Fox and The Hen was surprisingly busy at 8 AM! Lydi passed her baked milk food challenge this week so she finally got to enjoy the muffin of the day 🎉 Afterward, we hit up the park. Lydi was demanding we all take a turn on that bouncy three-seat thing and Dempsey just wants to swing 😂

The second half of the day was so chill. Dempsey and Joey went to swim and a couple of open houses while Lydia napped and I made salads and then we all played outside, ate a good pasta dinner, puzzled and got the kids to bed. We finished Top Chef then exercised some self control and went to bed early since had a race to run in the morning!

Look, we ran a race! Joey’s first since 2021 and my first since 2019! Our company put together a relay team last year and Joey was supposed to run but got sick a few days before and had to bail. We made it this year though and, personally, I had a really fun time. Joey, who barely trained and ran 6 miles, maybe had less fun 😂 Chad and Lori were kind enough to pick us and the kids up and drop each of us at our respective start lines. I based my pace off of what I’ve been running at home, but since our first three runners were fast, I was up front with people speeding past me and it was so hard to slow my own pace. I ended running like a full minute (if not more) faster than I thought I would! Luckily, Bobby was there early and was ready for me to pass the baton earlier than planned but Joey, Lori, Chad, Demps and Lyds didn’t make it over until after I had crossed through. I know they felt bad, but I was my own fault! 🤦‍♀️ I still thought it was all great fun!

Back at home, Lyds snuck in a quick nap and Joey and I cleaned ourselves up before heading out to Landon’s first birthday party! They did a golf theme and it turned out so cute. Both of my children were obsessed with that golf cart and I had quite a time literally pulling them out of there 🙄 We had a fun time and I hope Landon did too! My parents were there and took Dempsey home with them for a sleepover, so it was just Joey, Lyds and I back at home. We were all so tired, but ended up cleaning out Lydia’s closet and then Joey left for the Nuggets game, so I got some one-on-one time with my loopy little girl, who’d been up since 11:30. We ate dinner, played and then I put her to bed and fired up The Idea of You. The internet tells me it’s a Harry Styles fan-fic but I thought it was pretty good. Anne Hathaway is just so beautiful, you know?

Wishing you all a Happy Monday!
