Weekend Things

What a good weekend we had 🥰😊 We had a good mix of down time and playtime, stay at home time and out and about time, homecooked meal time and going out to dinner time. And with Daylight Saving Time starting, we had extra light on Sunday evening and got to play outside after dinner. THE BEST!

Dempsey had Friday off from school, so I dropped both kids off at Grandma Lori’s then headed to my manicure. Got back home to work and do a much needed toy rotation and then once Joey and the kids were home for the evening, we just did a simple dinner of leftovers and started watching Hitpig with the kids. I love a movie night for the four of us 🤍 After the kids went to bed, Joey and I started Nosferatu but more on that later.

Saturday started with pancakes and then we spent the first half of the day at home. Joey and I both went on a run, the kids both got day time baths, groceries were delivered (the kids brought every single item one by one from the front door to the kitchen for me 😂), laundry was done and salads were made and then we left the house for the second half of the day. Hit up the museum (the space area was our favorite part) then headed to White Pie for dinner. Dempsey was so into that giant puff and the hot honey and Lydia is a meatball fan. We hadn’t been there since it opened in 2017!!!! But I’m really glad we re-visited. Back at home, we finished Hitpig with the kids (they gave it two thumbs up) and Nosferatu after they went to bed. Honestly, I LOVED it! Visually STUNNING and I was so invested in the story and the performances. Thought Lily-Rose Depp was phenomenal. I guess I’m back in on Robert Eggers 😋 Joey really liked it too!

Sunday 🤍 There are plenty of weeks where we leave all our chores for Sunday but it felt so nice to have that all out of the way. We had started a book Saturday night and Dempsey was ready to finish it first thing Sunday 🥺 May he always be so into books. Afterward, breakfast and then Joey took the kids to the park so I could do a quick workout and meet them afterward. I walked all the way to Tennyson before I realized they had gone to the lake 🤦‍♀️ Made it to them just in time to leave and head back home. Whoops! We all had lunch and I attempted to put Lydia down for a nap that she never actually took and then Grandma Sheila came over to watch the kids, so Joey and I could go see Mickey 17. It’s not perfect and it’s a little shaggy toward the end, but I still liked it. I’m guessing Robert Pattinson’s performance will be divisive but it really worked for me! Mostly I just love Steven Yeun, okay? Back at home, we said goodbye to Grandma and I made us some miso-glazed salmon with ramen noodles. Dempsey is a salmon and broccoli fan and Lydia can slurp a ramen noodle like nobody’s business. Joey and I liked it all. After dinner, we scooted and biked in the backyard and it made my heart so happy. Dempsey has always been my cautious child but he’s come such a long way with climbing and riding things 😍 We got the kids to bed and watched The White Lotus. Hope you all have a good week!
