It’s been a very regular week and I am so happy about it. We had a few busy weeks and I was feeling a little exhausted, so it was nice to just have an average week. Monday was Valentine’s Day and we had some books and treats for the boys. Nate surprised me with a very nice chef knife, flowers and candy! The boys were excited to hand out valentines at school (Gussie had monster truck themed cards and Xander had little lego sets for everyone).
For dinner, I had a heart shaped meal planned- heart sausage, heart pasta and heart bread. Xander said, “yeah, but the green beans aren’t heart shaped.” I guess there is room for improvement next year.
Tuesday was swim lessons.
Wednesday Augustus and Grandma Debbie were busy crafting, shopping and all the fun stuff they usually do. The boys had a busy week at school and both Nate and I were busy with work stuff. Very regular week!
Friday was a professional development day for Xander’s school, so he was home for the day. Nate worked in the morning, so Xander hung out and was busy working on new drawings, which is his latest obsession. He has been taking an after school drawing class on Wednesdays and he is getting really good. He watches YouTube videos and can follow along to create amazing pictures. He’s getting really good and he loves it.
Nate and Xander went out to lunch, ran some errands for me and then went to hit golf balls. It was a busy day off for our kindergartener.
On Friday night, Nate and I had a date night, so our neighbor Olive came over to babysit the boys. They were excited all week for her to come over. She kept them alive and happy, and Nate and I had a fabulous dinner out, so everyone was a winner!!
On Saturday, Gussie and I went shoe shopping (both of us needed new shoes). Xander drew about 15 amazing pictures. We played, we relaxed. We had a very easy day. It was fabulous.
Sunday was another day of rest and prep for the week. I dropped the boys at my mom’s house and then went to the grocery store. The weather was warm, so Nate and I cleaned the yard, I walked the dogs and got some other house projects done. The boys and my mom played, went shopping, and went swimming. When they got home in the afternoon, we all headed outside for some neighborhood playing and hanging out.
It was a fabulous week and a wonderful weekend!
