What a weekend! I feel like June/summer are off with a bang and I’m truly loving it. I switched my Wednesday and Friday and had the day off the kids, so we met up with a couple of my friends from book club and had such a fun time at the Denver Museum of Nature & Science! Then our first day of soccer (more on that later…) and our company picnic at Elitch’s on Saturday. Recovered on Sunday with a leisurely breakfast and stroll to the Farmers’ Market then just played/did chores at home before having a fun taco (& margaritas for the adults) dinner. Looking forward to a normal week before another jam-packed weekend!

Joey had a Friday morning golf tournament so I want endless credit for getting the kids up and ready and fed and out the door to get to the museum by 9 AM (we were actually a bit early!) 😂 I got to meet my friends’ 7(ish) month olds for the first time and man are they cute! Meanwhile, my two were running around so I was glad to have some help chasing them. Back at home, Lydi read to herself then went down for a nap while Dempsey and I ate lunch and relaxed. Joey came home later on to pick the two of them up and take them to Chad’s to feed the fish while I made us dinner. We hadn’t had this quick veggie curry in sooooo long but everyone loved it.

Tried to put the kids to bed together in the same room but it was mass chaos, so we moved Lydia back into ours and decided we’d try again another day. It was truly the sweetest watching Dempsey try to console her though 🥺🤍 I was so excited to watch Hit Man after the kids went to bed and it did not disappoint! We are truly in the summer of Glen Powell and I am here for it. I will say the movie took a turn toward the end that I didn’t totally jive with but the rest was good fun.

Lydia was up early on Saturday, so Joey got up with her and they made giant pancakes for all of us. Around 9:40, we loaded the kids in the stroller and walked over to the park for Dempsey’s first soccer practice and it was… quite the show from him. He kept telling us “his legs were too tired” and went full limp noodle mode for the entire 45 minutes we were there. I’m trying to brush it off, but I was sad. Hopefully next week is better! Sissy had fun at least 😂

We walked back home and got right in the car to head to Elitch’s. Rode the carousel first thing then made it over to the tent where our company picnic was being held. I feel like there’s never enough time to talk to everyone, but I got to chat with a handful of people and chase the kids around for a bit before Lydi and I took off to get her a nap. I feel like my truest self is to be extremely protective of my children’s sleep, so sorry not sorry 😅 Joey and Dempsey stayed and ended up riding a bunch of the kids rides, which I was so surprised and impressed by! I think they had a good good time. Lydia and I picked them up later on, then went home for dinner leftovers and baths. Attempt #2 to put them to bed together was way more successful. I maybe sang to them through the camera for fifteen minutes but hey, whatever it takes!

A happy happy Sunday! We had a quick and easy breakfast before heading out to the Farmers’ Market. Got some strawberries & tomatoes, plus pink lemonade and a donut for the kids. It was gluten free and I’m sorry, but it was the strangest texture 😂 Back at home, much playing, movie watching and chore doing before I left to get my hair cut. When I got back, the neighbor kids were asking for Dempsey, so he and Joey went over to play and then Lydi and I joined when she was up from her nap. I had some beef in the crock pot and had made a strawberry simple syrup earlier in the day, so tacos and margaritas for dinner! It all turned out really good and Dempsey was straight spooning pico de gallo in his mouth (which is interesting considering he complains about onions being in anything else 🤷‍♀️). Tried to get in a game of Chutes & Ladders after dinner, but the kids ran away and Joey and I played by ourselves. For the record, I won 😋 Got those babies to bed together again (!!!) and watched the penultimate episode of The Crown. I can’t believe we’ve almost finished, I didn’t think we’d ever get there.

Happy Monday!
