So this is the week we were supposed to be relaxing on the beach enjoying our family vacation. Due to a tropical storm/possible hurricane we decided to move our vacation for the end of September. Even though it is a big bummer we are not at the beach, we are still managing to have a lot of fun.
On Friday night Mommy and Daddy had a fun little date night while the kiddos stayed with Mimi and Papa. On Saturday morning, we headed to Miss Julianna's 2nd birthday party at the spray park we had never been to before. It was a lot of fun and we will be going back for sure. When we got home we relaxed for a while, watched The Lorax for the first time, got cleaned up for church and met both of our families there. My sis and her family joined us again. :) After church we went home to get in our comfy clothes, ordered a few pizzas and headed to my sister's house to eat dinner and watch a movie. The kiddos played and stayed up way too late but we all had a blast. On Sunday - the day we should have been on the beach was supposed to be our Hawaiian Falls day but since the weather had other plans the day turned into cleaning/yard work/grocery trip for the girls while the boys hung out at home/laundry/relaxing around the house kind of day. Hubs and I watched a movie when the kiddos fell asleep. Love those nights, especially when I get to pick a movie. ;) If it was up to Justin we would watch the same five movies over and over and over again. I LOVE YOU but you know it's true ;)
Today we headed to Daddy's work. We had a lunch date and then went up to his office for a little bit. The kids loved it! Momma did, too! Once Daddy had to get back to work we took a few trips up and down in the elevator ( not on purpose) and then headed to the Praire Creek park in Richardson on our way home. We went on a little walk/hiking adventure until we were sweaty and had enough. Now the kiddos are snoozing which is not the usual and this Momma is enjoying some down time.
So we might not be in Destin like we planned but I couldn't be more thankful to be starting another school year staying at home with my sweet babies. I am so thankful for Justin and the sacrifices he makes to let me stay home and not to have to miss these precious years. I feel so blessed to know that at the end of the day we made the best decision for our family and the sacrifices are well worth it all. In two short years from now both of the kiddos will be in school and I will have no choice over who spends 7 hours a day with them. For now I am so glad I don't have to miss a beat!
