We had another busy week. Jacob played in Annie so he was gone every night until really late. The kids and I had a good week, but you know, "single-parenting" isn't always easy.
On Tuesday evening we (the kids and I) went to my parent's for supper. My brother is raising baby chicks and Lily and Levi loved watching them. We got to visit awhile with Memaw which was nice! I'm so thankful for my Dad who took L&L to see the animals even though he had tons to do - like fixing a water leak, mending fences, and getting trash together for garbage day.
Wednesday morning we went to a small park close to our house. We played for about an hour. L&L had fun digging in the sand for "treasures." Lily found a penny, but then she dropped it in the grass and we couldn't find it. :( Levi is such a goofball these days - he loved playing with my sunglasses. Ha!
Thursday night our church had Parent's Night Out. Since Jacob had the play, I took Asher with me. We went to Panera for supper then went to the fabric store and Hobby Lobby to get stuff to make quiet books. Yes, Asher started solids last week too! He loves avocado!
Friday, the kids had chiropractor appointments in the morning. They did so well! We ran a few errands after that then came home for lunch and naps. We ran out really fast to eat Mexican for supper before Jacob had to go to the play. Everything was crazy at supper. I think it was just because we were in a hurry.
I took the kids to a little friend's 1st birthday party Friday evening. It was fun! We ended up having to leave early because Asher was really fussy. When we got home L&L wanted me to take pictures of their funny faces. Levi kept giggling at Lily so he couldn't manage to keep a funny face long enough to get a picture. Silly boy!
Saturday morning we went to the Farmer's Market again. I just love the fresh fruits and veggies we get there! Then we dropped off some consignment stuff for a sale coming up in a couple weeks. My mom was such a huge blessing to me - each consignor is supposed to hang up their items by size on the racks in the store, well since Jacob wasn't able to watch the kids, my mom came and hung up my stuff for me so I didn't have to leave the kids in the car for a long time. My mom also met up with me at one grocery store and helped me with the kids again! She is awesome! :)
I always pick out the kids church clothes on Saturday night. Lily had chosen to wear the dress hanging closest on the door (in the picture above) but after I put Levi to sleep, I came in her room and she had picked out 5 more dresses. Ha!
All the kids snuggling after their naps on Sunday.
Levi loves standing in his highchair (when mommy's back is turned) turning the light on and off. Stinker.
The L's working on their computers (yes, Levi's is a cash register). They were sending emails, looking at pictures, and finding new recipes. LOL
The last performance of Annie was last night! I can't tell you how thankful I am that it's over! :)









Isn't it such a blessing to have a mom close by? I am so glad you do!
ReplyDeleteWhat a busy week! Any time I am tempted to be overwhelmed by the rare times Derek has to work late, I think of you (and Jess!) and how you so gracefully handle many long evenings with your hubby gone. Thanks for being a good example to the rest of us; you're an awesome mom :)
Your kids are so sweet and are getting so big!
ReplyDeletePraise the Lord for those Mama's! Mine has kept my kids all afternoon while I'm healing up from a back injury. Sometimes I'm not sure what I'd do without her.
ReplyDeleteMy Hubby works construction, so I'm familiar with those long, single-parent nights...
Your dad is awesome! Just sayin! :)
ReplyDeleteYou take after him! :)
