Another good weekend for the record books. It was nice and pretty relaxing. It was the first weekend in about a month that Ben was home and not working. Just him being home makes the house calmer. I also didn't do really any cleaning. It felt good not to spend my weekend cleaning. But I forced myself to relax. It felt good.
Yesterday we went shopping at Spectrum. We got there early and went to coffee. Courtney got her "baby coffee" and we just relaxed and watched the rain come down. It was nice for about 7 minutes and then Courtney was ready to go. We shopped in the rain! It wasn't too bad. Courtney was in need of a few new clothes, so she was the only one who got anything. We ended with lunch and it was far too soon for Courtney to nap. After nap, we had to cut it short, we had a birthday party to go to. It was a friend of Ben's, but it was a family party.
They have a little girl that Courtney loves to play with. Also, Ariel and his kids were there. So she was loving it. We took Ariel's kids home with us for a little bit. Courtney thought that was the coolest thing. She just loves those kids. It was so cute (wish I had a picture), but the three kids were all huddled together with a blanket in front of the fire.
Today we had church and then we went to lunch with Gaddiel and Karly. We love hanging out with them. Ben is friends with Gaddiel and I'm friends with Karly and they have a baby, so they are understanding of kids stuff. During naptime, I got some time to relax. Ben took off for a bit, Caylee was really fussy (she missed her nap) so I put her to sleep in the ergo and sat on the couch and relaxed and read. So nice! It didn't last long but it felt like a bit of vacation. I actually left the housework to be unfinished!
Ben got his bonus this weekend, so to celebrate he took us girls to Melting Pot for dinner. This is probably my favorite place to eat. It's so good, yet so expensive. Courtney was in heaven with all the yummies and dipping.
I've noticed these days we sure do get tucked into the back of restaurants with our kids. Talk about discrimination! I know people get out for a peaceful meal and don't want to listen to my kids babble.
All in all we had good times and for the most part, Courtney was super good. I think the more she sees Ben, the less she feels she has to compete for his attention. Just a thought. Oh and last night Caylee slept 12 hours! Yeah, I'm hoping my trying harder to keep at least that first nap complete is working.
