I can’t say this with enough enthusiasm, this was the most normal, boring, average week. It was fabulous!
The boys spent a lot of time playing with Sam and Abby, a lot of time looking through pokemon cards, and played outside nonstop.
On Tuesday, my co-worker Monica and I road tripped to Camp Warren for the day for the YMCA Camp Summit. It was a long day but we learned a lot and it was fun to be at a camp. Nanny Shyanna took the boys to several parks and the library. We fell behind on our kiwi kit boxes for the last few months, but I knew we would want them this summer. And I was right! They were very busy with them this week and it was super fun to have some good projects! We swam. We played. It was a really nice summer week.
On Wednesday, the boys had golf lessons and a dentist appointment. Lots of playing. And another park with Nanny Shyanna.
Thursday we had an afternoon playdate with their new school and then it was soccer in the evening. It was the second to last game, but we are missing next week, so it was actually our last soccer game of the season. After skipping soccer for a few weeks, Xander was back in action, and he was basically a different kid. He was confident, assertive and was going after the ball! He scored 6 goals! It was unbelievable!
Xander is obsessed with the idea of “having big muscles like Uncle Danny” and has been begging to go to the YMCA to lift weights. So on Friday, Nanny Shyanna and Gussie went to get ice cream and Xander and I went to work out. He was very excited and very impressed with his muscles at the end of the workout.
As a reward to myself for finishing the magazine, I got my nails done. I am very excited to have such fancy nails!
We had family/puppy playtime for a long time on Friday night and both boys and dogs ended up very tired after nearly an hour of “chase”.
Saturday has been a full day of fun! Nate and the boys joined Sam and Abby, Kelly and Silas at the driving range to hit some balls. Afterwards, they went to the brand new Highland Park Bridge playground (just opened today!). Then it was home for more playtime, followed by a BBQ dinner with everyone (plus Aaron and Melissa). You know we love a good neighborhood get together.
While Nate and the boys were busy playing all day, I spent the day cooking, packing, cleaning, and getting ready for the week.
I love an average, boring, easy week!
