We have all had "one of those days" every now and then. Well today was "one of those days"...well maybe not exactly.
Usually when I talking about having "one of those days," I am referring to the day where you wish you had work to go to, wish it was a mother's day out day, wish your older kids took 2 naps still, wish your baby did not learn to crawl just yet, wish you could have a little glass of mommy juice with snack time (or lunch or at the park or...), wish that The Little Engine That Could was either shorter or the kids did not realize that you skipped a page on purpose, or what ever you happen to be wishing at the moment.
Well today I am not referring to "one of THOSE days," but I am referring to "one of those HAPPY/GREAT/WONDERFUL/FUN days." It was just an all around great day. If you must know how we spent our happy, great, wonderful, fun day...well just keep on reading...
We woke up (yes it was 7 something...better than 6 something that is for sure), ate breakfast. If you must know...cinnamon toast, bacon, eggs, banana, strawberries, and milk. After eating we had some play/get ready time. Then it was off to Hobby Lobby for round 2 this week. We went to pick up Peyton's 1 year picture from being framed. While there I let the kids pick out a craft to do...they picked patriotic pinwheels to make.
When we arrived home, Peyton went down for nap. Parker and Paige were about to jump out of their seat with excitement upon craft time. We made our craft, played with them on the patio, against the fan, waving through the air, and just blowing them to get them to turn...who knew the would be the great hit of the day!
I made lunch. If you again must know...broccoli, carrots, dip, blackberries, raspberries, strawberries, avocado, the kids also had whole wheat quesadilla with squash puree and cheese, salad with this (look towards the bottom of the post...Peyton and Parker liked...Paige, surprisingly, not so much) on top for me and on the side for the kids, and a few red and orange bell peppers for myself as well. We washed it all down with milk and/or water.
Afterwards we changed, put on lotion, and gathered our things for a trip to the pool. We had a blast! No one else was in the pool...2 people were laying out, but too far for us to get them wet. We were there for an hour and a half. It was great...be sure to look for a few Not Me Mondays from that trip!
Then it was nap time! Oh great and wonderful nap time! They all went down PERFECT!!! It was greatness!
After nap we had a smoothie...banana, frozen organic peach, and V8 Fusion if you must know what kind...and Trooper came home just in time to have himself some smoothie as well.
We had some wonderful play time...a few books, stacking/knocking down/juggling of blocks, rolling of balls, and few trips on the human airplane airline courtesy of me!
Then we were off to the video store, to grab a pizza, and to head to a local park. We ate and played our tails off. Again, watch for a few more Not Me Mondays from here!
We arrived home just before 8. It was clean up for all...and kiddos to bed. Trooper and I enjoyed our movie and I am just about to hope into bed.
I just wanted to share my day...for being "one of those days" in a very great and wonderful way. I look forward to having more this weekend and days to come. I hope your holiday weekend is filled with a few of "one of those days" as well!
Here are some of round 2 of 3 of the apartment. They are of the kitchen, area from kitchen to patio doors, and Parker and Paige's room. Final installment will be of Study/Peyton's room and Master! Until then, enjoy!
