Friday morning snuggles with my big boy.
Normally I come home to a quiet house on the mornings I go to the gym, but Friday morning, Jacob had to be up early for a friend to drop something by the house. When I walked in the door at 6:20am, I smelled bacon cooking! It was awesome! Jacob and I got to eat a nice breakfast together before he headed out the door to teach and the kids got up.
We went on a family lunch date to Panera. I just love their Fuji Apple Chicken salad! Lily and Levi normally split a grilled cheese sandwich, but this time they were both asking for more. I think the days of splitting "kid's meals" are nearly over. :-/
Friday night Jacob had an event to play for, so my parent's came to watch the kids so I could go to a consignment preview sale. I was a little disappointed with the clothing selection, but I did find a few things for each child as well as some great books, a play computer, and a fire truck and ambulance. My favorite find was a church outfit for Levi that matches an outfit that Grammie gave Asher for his birthday. I love having my boys match! :)
We watched Fat, Sick, and Nearly Dead last week. It is a great documentary! Jacob is going to do a juice fast this week (I'm going to drink a lot of the juice too, but not do the complete fast). I shopped on Saturday afternoon and this is what my cart looked like at Aldi. I got lots of strange looks and questions. LOL
I made some broccoli, carrot, sweet potato, grapefruit, kiwi, and orange juice on Friday and the kids drank it too! I'm excited to get more raw veggies down all of us.
Saturday was a beautiful day! We spent most of the day outside playing, having a picnic, and weeding the flower bed (momma did that). My sister brought her boys over and we went for a long walk around the neighborhood. It was a fun day!
Sunday was a good day. It was a blessing to all be back in church together. Of course the boys didn't take naps on Sunday afternoon (why is it, when momma is super tired and needing a little rest, they don't nap? oh well.) but I got some sweet after-nap snuggles from my big girl.
We went to my parent's after church in the evening. With sickness and trips, it'd been weeks since we'd been over for our traditional Sunday supper. It was so nice to be back!

We watched that documentary and it got us back into juicing, too! :)
ReplyDeleteWe've been looking into juicing as well. Might need to sit and watch that documentary. It may convince the hubby the rest of the way. :)
ReplyDeleteThat shopping cart full of fruits and veggies looks yummy! :) Loved the pictures.
ReplyDeleteThat's so sweet of your hubby to make breakfast for you both!! I love the shopping cart too! :)
ReplyDeleteWe love to juice, too! Margot always drinks it, which is awesome. When I'm done nursing, I'll do the fast again. :)
ReplyDeleteI love all the pictures... and I love that YOU'RE in more and more of the pictures. Do you guys have a juicer or a food processor or what do you use to make the juice?
