Weekend

This weekend was really nice in that we didn't have a whole lot going on.

I started my weekend on Friday because my children were out to get me Thursday night. I literally texted my brother and the guy that works for us and said "Not coming in. My kids are trying to kill me." Multiple wake ups, sleeping in the recliner, dog needing out, and Tucker getting a bloody nose at 3am-ish. I seriously don't know what time things happen most nights because both kids are either up zero times or 4 times. We are an all or nothing family apparently. Thank God for FitBits and their ability to let you see how bad it really was!

I bought Tucker's silence with YouTube kids and we all hung out in Danny and I's bed Friday afternoon for a bit.

The kids and I went to a wedding Friday night. We've officially lost our date night babysitter since she's a married and full-time working woman now. She got married in my mother-in-law's barn, my sister-in-law decorated for the reception at a different location and I hauled my kids and my niece's around since they were part of the reception. Charlee was super cooperative and Tucker thought the wedding was too long... it lasted all of 10 minutes haha.  Danny worked Friday night so I got a glimpse of life with 4 kids. No thank you haha.

Saturday was cleaning, laundry and playing until we went to Chuy's for lunch and did a bit of shopping at Old Navy with my mom. Chuy's was super accommodating for both kids. They brought me a plastic spoon when they saw me trying to carefully feed Charlee avocado with the tip of my fork and then when they realized the plate of nachos were for Tucker they took them back to the kitchen and put them on a plate that wasn't hot. I never asked for either so it was really nice.

Sunday was a pretty typical day except that I TOOK A NAP! We didn't have much going on and I could tell Charlee was getting tired so her and I went and laid down while Danny and Tucker kept themselves busy. I slept for an hour and 12 minutes. That is a rarity that happens like 3 times a year. After we went to visit Danny's dad and stepmom then for a drive so Tucker could sleep off some attitude. It did not work.

Or let you you eat 28 pieces of candy, put your shoes on the 3rd time I ask... 

Now it's time for a busy week that I'm not entirely sure I'm ready for!

Life.

I blinked and it went from 4th of July weekend to practically Labor Day up  in here. I was talking to a family member yesterday and he said "life is happening, isn't it?" Yes, it is. It is flying by. I swear they need to warn you when you leave the hospital that with every baby time speeds up. I have never experienced a quicker 5 1/2 months in my life. But here we are.

Time is flying by and I'm sitting here, for the 837th time, reminding myself that I'm going to want to look back on these days and really remember them.

So, July. July is notorious for being busy. Between my busy season for work, Danny's rotating schedule, plus the 4H fair, it's a whirlwind month. We don't even have any kids in 4H but it ends up being busy for us so I can't imagine what it will be like in a few years when we start that chapter of our lives.

This girl turned 4 months old.

We went to the fair. Tucker wanted to ride this despite his face saying otherwise. We're bad parents and only let him ride one single ride lol. If Danny had it his way Tucker and Charlee would never know there is a ride portion of the fair.

Danny and I went on a date to watch one of my dad's good friends sing. He was home from Nashville for a week and performed at a local bar. The show didn't start until 8pm so I had to drink coffee at 6:45pm to make my attendance possible. It's a struggle.

We made a spur of the moment trip to the Ft. Wayne zoo. I mean, it still took 45 minutes to get ready to leave for this spur of the moment trip but thats about as spontaneous as you can get when you have to take all the things with you.

We ended the month, and summer, with a camping trip to a Jellystone campground in Bloomington. We had such a great time. Well, Tucker and I did at least. We both played on the water slides for a few hours each day.

The trip got off to a rocky start when we pulled over to change Tucker's clothes because he peed his pants and we found that he didn't actually have any clothes. His bag was still sitting on the floor in his room at home. Whoops. I did my best to laugh it off and only beat myself up over it a little. Tucker got a few outfits out of it and Danny enjoyed buying new clothes for him since that's something I usually take care of. Trying to see the good in it haha.

That was pretty much it. I felt like we didn't do much until just now but no wonder I felt like July went fast. We were constantly doing stuff!
