We are back from Hawaii! I hope to post about it later this week, but we had smooth travel, (mostly) good weather and just so much fun with our family. Feels pretty good to be home and starting to get back into a routine though! We flew in late Friday night then spent Saturday and Sunday packing up the last of the Christmas decorations, re-arranging the playroom, watching movies, restocking the fridge, doing alllll the laundry and soaking up our last few days before heading back to school and work.

How cute are the kids sharing a seat and a screen on our last Friday flight?? 🥺 A fun time for Mom when both children wanted to sit in her row 🤪 Joey mentioned no less than three movies he watched during all our travel and you know what I watched? Three full drinks get picked up and shuffled around and bounced up on the tray table while two children climbed on me. Anyway, I’m not bitter 😋 We got them to bed then started Saturday pretty slow with breakfast and The Wild Robot, then we dove straight into laundry and Joey trying to take the murphy bed down in the playroom while the kids built a fort, ate snacks, tried to run off with Dad’s tools and said “Mom” a billion times 😂 Dempsey helped me make gnocchi for dinner and then after they went to bed, we watched Conclave and I thought it was somehow both very interesting and very boring. It wasn’t until today, when I listed to a podcast about it that I realized it was supposed to be funny? Hmm.

Sunday was a little more laid back (kinda 😅) and also more productive. I made us all some buttermilk pancakes, got salads done, built snowmen with Dempsey, worked out and made dinner. Joey and Dempsey built and installed a little shelf for his water bottle and tissue box and I love it so much! The time difference between here and Hawaii is only three hours but it’s been a struggle in varying degrees for all of us to adjust. Whether it’s falling asleep on time, staying asleep all night or waking up in the morning, but hopefully we’re all back to normal in a few days. For now, it’s back to school for Dempsey and back to work for Joey and I, but today is my dad’s birthday, so at least we all get to be back together again tonight 🤍 Happy Monday, everyone!
