Weekly Recap {8.27.18}

Good Morning! I totally am not ready for this Monday, today my sweet Ella Bella starts ALL DAY KINDERGARTEN! Insert extremely emotional Mama here!! I know she's more than ready, it's me who's not. I felt the same when Brayden went so I thought by now it would be a little easier, but it's really not - today is going to be the longest day!!

Anyway, enough of my sob story, here's a look back at our week!

Monday was Brayden's first day and it went great!!

I took the girls to the carousel room for some last week of summer fun! They both made friends with girls their own age and had a blast

Then they played this game where they went to sleep, I have to say, I'm a big fan of this game :)

Wednesday we went to this little zoo in a neighboring town with friends - it was another really fun day!!

 

 Each morning at the bus stop we play shadow tag, these are the moments I soak in 😊

Thursday night Brayden had his first baseball game for fall ball. This season him and his buddies are all split up but we were all playing at neighboring fields so we grabbed a few pics - and so cute they all chose #17 without knowing the others did!

 

 Then, Brayden won MVP of the game!! His coach gives out this obnoxious wrestling belt to the player of the game and they bring it back next game

Friday I woke up early all ready to publish my blog post for the day to realize our cable & internet was out - I got an appt for 2-4pm later that day for a tech to come but in the meantime, I took the girls to an early lunch at McDonalds and took advantage of their free wi-fi :)

Saturday was a crummy start to the day so we took the kids out for some bowling and arcade games

 

 

Later that night, Avery was having a sleepover at my Moms and the other 2 were going by my in laws because we had dinner plans with my BIL & SIL. But before we dropped them off, they had dinner and were trying out the lady & the tramp move with the noodles. It was so cute watching and listening to them giggle and when they got too close Brayden would run away to the garbage and spit it out LOL

Only pic I got from our night out!

Sunday was a slow start since we were out late then we went swimming at my in laws later on, it was a gorgeous day!

I'm off to get my sweet middle child on her way to kindergarten, somebody hold me!!

Weekly Recap 8.22.18

Hi blog world! I'm finally getting around to recapping our week on the blog - it was the last official week of summer break for Brayden so we tried to cram in lots of fun!!

Monday we went to lunch and then the neighborhood pool with lots of friends! The kids all had so much fun!!

Oh man, poor Ella - she wanted to jump off this diving board SO BAD but just could not get the courage to. She gets an A++++++ for trying though, because she did try no less than 30 times! It was a little comical watching all the kids cheer her on and getting frustrated waiting on her LOL

 

Another day we went to Gameworks with friends and again, the kids had a blast!! They scored enough points to get a bunch of junk in the game room and they couldn't have been happier

The girls spent time doing their workbooks and as usual, Ella was excited and Avery was NOT - haha

We went to the zoo one day with my Mom and the weather was perfect, not too hot and not cold

They have this new thing where you can feed the giraffes so I let the kids do that - Brayden & Ella loved it and I held Avery while she did it and she got nervous

Friday night I went out to dinner with some friends and girl time is just what I needed!!

Over the weekend, I had bridesmaid dress shopping, then we went to my aunt & uncles for a pool party for the bridal party in my cousins wedding - the kids swam for HOURS and I actually got to sit and talk!

 

Sunday the 5 of us went to practice baseball (Ella's playing t-ball this fall!) then out for ice cream! We ended the night going out to dinner and relaxing before Brayden had school the next day!!

And that's a wrap for our week (last week LOL)

Weekly Recap {8.13.18}

Well hello there Monday! We're coming off a nice low-key weekend which is just what I needed. This week we are going full force with the fun because it's Brayden's last week before school starts!!

Anyway, here's a look back at our past couple of weeks

We went to the Cubs game with friends the weekend we got back from vacation - I was exhausted but it was so much fun!

 

The very next day we had a little birthday party for Avery - it was more like a glorified playdate with a few of her school friends but nonetheless she felt so special and that's all that mattered! She was begging for her own party so I'm glad she got one!

We did some puzzling one afternoon - it was cute because Avery kept wanting to do more and that never happens haha

We saw Christopher Robins with friends - it started out slow so I was worried it wouldn't keep their attention but it was fine and actually a really cute movie!

I took Ella to the library for a Ready for Kindergarten class they had, I swear it made her even more excited!!

 

I took the kids to a pool that I bought a Groupon for earlier in the summer - it was SO packed when we showed up I contemplated leaving but the kids were so excited so I put my anxiety aside, watched them like a hawk and we ended up having a great time! I was in the water with them the whole time and I know they loved that 

We took Ella and Brayden to Dicks for new cleats and Ella picked these fun pink ones!

We've been going on bike rides and it's been so great. Even though Brayden doesn't love riding his bike, he is always game when we go

My three loves!

Friday night we had our families over for all 3 kids' birthdays. I decided doing them all separate a month apart is ridiculous especially since they all have friend parties.  It worked out great and we all had a fun time!

Saturday me and this cutie whipped up some banana bread, it was delicious!!

Meanwhile the boys were outside doing work!

Saturday afternoon my Mom picked up Ella for a sleepover so the rest of us went over to some friends later on in the night and hung out.  We got home a little late and all went right to bed. Sunday I woke up and facetime'd Ella because I missed her cute face then we had a slow relaxing morning. Later we took the kids swimming at my in laws and had lunch over there then came home and got some housework done.


Today I have a physical and have to take all 3 kids with me,  please keep me in your thoughts hahaha!
