We’ve been home for a week and I have a week of pictures to catch up on!
On Sunday, I got camp cleaned and closed up and instead of jumping in the car and rushing home, I spent several hours laying in a hammock, relaxing, listening to podcasts and enjoying the sun, the breeze and the fresh air. I was so grateful to be able to have a day of rest while Nate and the boys played all day at home.
Monday was our first day back to normal. We have one month until the boys go back to daycare, so we are going to try to do as many fun things as we can. We went to Mattock’s Park and I decided we are going to try to hit up different parks as often as we can. It’s pretty easy in our neighborhood.
Tuesday we started the day with a trip to the bakery for some treats. We rode bikes, and then in the afternoon, went to the Holly Tot lot playground.
Wednesday, the boys went to my mom’s house for a day of fun with Grandma. When they got home, our dear friend Nanny Katie had dropped off care packages and the boys were THRILLED.
Thursday we started the day playing with bubbles from the care packages from the day before. In the afternoon, we went to Highland Park.
On Friday, Nate and the boys kicked off boys’ weekend, while Christine and I headed back to CYC for a relaxing mom’s weekend. Our plan was to eat good food, have drinks, lay around and relax! We spent several hours laying in the tube on the lake. We spent several more hours in hammocks. It wasn’t all relaxing- there was some camp nonsense as always, but that’s going to take a whole post to cover. Overall though, we had an awesome bestie weekend and I was thrilled to have that time together. I got home Sunday feeling more refreshed, happy, grateful and ready to be with my boys. It was the first of what will become an annual weekend for sure!
On Sunday night, Xander said, “it’s nice to have our whole family together again” and he was so right.
It was a great first week home and August is off to a fun start.
