Oh, Three-Day Weekend! How much I appreciate you! After a couple of weeks of recovering from the 2015 Holidaze, I've never been so happy for a third consecutive day of rest in my life. We had the littles this particular weekend and did our best to take it easy. Going to the park, trips for frozen yogurt and ice cream, watching a ton of movies (Flashdance! Mad Max! ... The Minions Movie!) - and we even got to see Bob! It was just wonderful.
I took the littles to the park on Sunday and after a good 20 minutes I realized they were kinda over this particular location. (We've been going there for a year, they've kinda done everything you can do there!) Sadie was off playing with her new insta-friends, so Emily and Richard and I went for a little walk. Richard III was so bored, we found an empty trash-can and he got in for me to roll him around in it. ;P It blew 4 whole minutes! When we were walking back to get Sadie, R3 just said, "Nope! I'm tired of walking." and patiently waited for us to get back into the car and pick him back up (before I snapped a picture, of course).
We drove around the neighborhood a little bit and wound up at Monster Yogurt (while Meghan wasn't there! The horror!). There's a playground there, and I'm just trying so hard to get them away from screens for at least a couple of hours - whatever I gotta do!
Simple, quiet high-fives. ;)
This beautiful, moody teenager.
On Monday I took the littles to a different park to give it a whirl, and thank goodness they were impressed! Begging-me-not-to-leave impressed! Even though Richard had to work on Monday during the day and Meghan had to work at night, we managed to end the day on a high note with seeing BOB. Dinner out with burgers & fries and MORE frozen desserts from Braum's!
I can't ever thank you enough, Three Day Weekend! I can't wait to see you again in February!!
