Weekend recap.

We had a great weekend! It was a little hectic because Jacob was working a lot, but we made it through with some fun memories! 

On Friday, we had some errands to do in a town about 45 minutes away. I ran out of time to fix us lunch to take with on the road, so I took the kids to Chick Fil A. It was the first time I've taken all 5 out to eat by myself! It was a bit crazy, but we had no meltdowns, so I felt like it was successful! :)

I have a van full of blessings!

Jacob got all the tubs of kids clothes out of the attic for me to sort through to sell some at a local consignment sale and to get rid of some. Side note: we are moving soon to a smaller place and need to declutter and purge what we don't love. I am loving going through stuff! 11 garbage bags left our house yesterday which makes me so happy! Ha! Anyway, Miss Ava was thrilled to find little panties in her size! She spent an hour "folding" them and refolding them. :) She isn't potty trained yet, but I think she will be soon.

Saturday morning reading.

My mom made these dresses for me and my sister to wear at our Aunt Jan's wedding years ago. I found them while going through all the clothes and I love that Lily and Ava are just the right size to wear them! So special!

Jacob had a rehearsal and two concerts on Sunday, but I managed to get everyone dressed and to church on time...which is no small feat! :) None of the kids took a nap on Sunday afternoon like they normally do, which was a bummer because I had hoped to have a little quiet time to plan and read - but that's how it goes sometimes. We weren't even 30 minutes into the Sunday night service before Ava was sound asleep. I loved getting to snuggle with her, but it sure was hard for me not to fall asleep too.
