Weekend Recap
We finally had a "break." Some time to really be alone and enjoy the kids and our home.
Friday evening I went home and our neighbour/friends daughter was dropped off around 5:00. We ordered in pizza/wings/French fries and watched Despicable Me. We took the kids outside to play, and they rode bikes around the driveway for about an hour, went inside and did some "Go Noodle" dancing. Then had a snack of popcorn while they watched the Shopkins movie. They got very little indoor playing done. Brin fell asleep on my lap as I rubbed her forehead, and when her dad came back, we just put them all to bed and went to the garage to play darts, watch music videos and then our other neighbour (who is our well guy, and also a musician) came by and him and Ty played some music also. It was a bit of a late night, but the kids slept in on Saturday!
Saturday, everyone slept until almost 9! Heavenly :) We got up, made some breakfast and lounged around. We did some laundry, tidied up the house, scrubbed down the kitchen and main living area floors, etc. I moved the couch and cleaned under that and banged out the front hall rug and swept/mopped the foyer also.
Afterwards, we played a lot inside since the weather sucked so bad. It cleared up around the time Keira went for her nap, so Ty and G-man headed to our friend Rod and Sharons to help then load their "pod" since they are moving soon. They didn't get home until around 6:15, so we made an easy dinner and called it a night. Once the kids were in bed, we went into the hot tub to relax and watched some of the Conversations with a serial killer docu series on ted bundy.
Sunday everyone slept in again - until 8:30. Tyler had to go into town to do an estimate and visited his mom and went to the grocery store. When they got home, Keira was napping, so G, Ty and I went into the hot tub (garett is obsessed with taking a dip in there now lol). Once we were all dried off and dressed again, I took Garett outside for a bit and brought out the plasma car and Keira's scooter (his was in the garage still), and he was alternating riding around on all of his things I took out. He tired himself out, and went inside for some lunch and relaxation.
We start the ketogenic diet this week, so needed a few things to last until I can get to the superstore this week sometime. Our first meal was lemon pepper baked tilapia with a keto tartar sauce and a red pepper and Brussel sprout garlic stirfry. It was so delicious, not to toot my own horn, but the kids ate second helpings almost an hour after supper because they liked it so much! Guess that'll be on the rotation lol. My main struggle will be giving up pop, but it's been a few days and so far very minor /steady headache. Not unmanageable.
After dinner, the kids had their showers and put on their pjs and had a snack before bed! Back to reality today :)
I, for once, am feeling rejuvenated after my weekend and ready to tackle the week. Also, our leave renewed this morning, and I love nothing more than seeing so much leave in my "account" lol. Really puts you in a good mood :)
Hope you all had a great weekend!
