This last week was my spring break from teaching school and I wanted to have fun with my boys. We might have had a little too much fun because they didn't sleep well the whole week :) We were able to get through the rough patches together and managed to have a good time. When David was able to join us it was even better. Some of the time was spent just relaxing at home which was really nice (I read 3 book this week YES). Other times we were able to get out of the house and enjoy some great activities. So here is a run-down of our week with some pictures included:
MONDAY
One of this e really hard mom days. The boys were really trying my patience and I'm sure I was frustrating them. It was a tough time and I had the thought to go to the temple for comfort. So FHE that night was me taking the boys to the temple for pictures and a picnic. There really is a different spirit on the temple grounds and we all had a good time.
TUESDAY
We drove up to Draper to visit my cousin Shannell and her boy Titus. Kai and TJ had a great time playing with Titus and his toys. I had a fantastic time catching up with Shannell and hope to make it happen more often.
After our visit we drove up to Temple Square to retrieve our lost diaper bag (I know... I keep forgetting things :P) Well we had to go to a couple different buildings and it was a miracle we found it because it wasn't found where we left it. Everything was in the bag too. Nothing was lost so I was very grateful for that. The boys and I decided to check out the new City Creek Center. It was really nice. I was very impressed. The boys had a gun time walking around and we had lunch before going back home. That night David took us out for dinner and smoothies. TJ ate bites of my hamburger. He loved it!
WEDNESDAY
We had a crazy night of not sleeping well so the boys and I woke up 30 minutes before we needed to leave for our play date with our friends the Kellers. We made it to the park and we all had a great time. TJ went down the slide by himself. It was pretty funny. He started going on his belly. Then he tried his tummy. Then he tried walking. A little scary but hilarious.
After we ate lunch and took our naps our friends the Hoopers came over for another little play date. Kai loves Libby and he will tell you so. We ended up watching Little Mermaid which Kai actually likes despite David's objections that it's a girl movie :)
The rest of the night was nice relaxing family time.
THURSDAY
I tried to get some cleaning done in the morning, but the boys were demanding my attention. We had another bad night of sleep and I think we all needed some space. So the boys were happy to visit grandma while mom cleaned the house, washed the dishes, folded the laundry, etc. I was getting the house ready for our guests that night.
After I picked the boys up from Grandma's we went to Costco to get some groceries. They love Costco, Kai likes the samples and TJ likes looking at everything in the store.
Later that night Jaci and Mitch came for a visit and for tacos and games. We had a great time together. The boys didn't want to go to bed after thy left.
FRIDAY
The first part of Friday we recuperated from another late night. I actually woke up with terrible back pain and stayed on the couch most of the morning. I did a lot of reading to get my book done that was due at the library that day. David got me to move around and stretch and I felt a little better. Then I took Kai to the library with me. We returned books and Kai had to pay for a book he chewed on (I was shocked that he did. I actually asked him, How old are you?! He was shame-faced.)
That night we had planned going climbing with Mike and Elise. Since my back was out of order Daniel came in my place. Even Kai and TJ climbed and I was the camera lady for all the climbers.
...so this is where I left off. I don't remember exactly what we did the rest of that weekend. But I do know it was fun and I had a great time with my boys!
