Seriously, I enjoy the lazy weekends without reasons to rush out in the morning. Each of the last three days started with the children hanging out in bed with us, after the young miss had her bottle of milk and a fresh diaper of course. We read books, jokes around, tried to wake daddy, snuggled, and was told by Max that we could sleep all day long.
We had slow breakfasts. We hung out and played.
Friday we played a little softball and swam at the corrigans in the morning. The big kids played a game with us whe Clair slept. Friday night David and I had a date night. We visited Big Cork vineyards and saw Vince. It was a nice evening.
Saturday we visited with Great Grandpa and he looked quite well after all he's been though. Clair was like a cages animal in his little room, but we made it in and out without a scene. It was good to see him. We had a restful nap period; everyone napped in preparation for the Fourth of July party on top the parking deck downtown. It was another great party. All the siblings and cousins came as well as some friends and mom. This was the best one yet. It was so nice being local. I love watching the cousins all play together. They are all growing so fast. Clair does her best to hang with them and does a pretty solid job. Colby is more interested in Max then her. Max enjoys Colby and Tyler's boy company. The girls all run around a bit crazy. Fireworks were lovely and everyone behaved well coming home. Clair was scared of the fireworks at first, but after snuggling Mommy and Daddy, Gramma was able to convince her that it was okay with a nice long snuggle. Clair came into the house at 1030 pm and told me she was ready to build towers. Lol. That girl is something else.
Sunday was also a relaxingn start but we had errands to so today. We had lawn chores, house cleaning, groceries to buy, etc. And deposited the chores each kid had some fun with friends. Max enjoyed hosting a neighbor, Cody. Ellie enjoyed Ashley's 7th birthday party. Clair and Max and I enjoyed an evening Bike ride and play at the park. David and Ellie got some time to build a rollercoaster and enjoyed some one on one time.
This isn't a spectacular set of events to write about, but it is a representation of things I enjoy about my life, being their mom! It is still my best and hardest job. I hope I do alright by them.
