Hey loves. Another week of summer. This one was a little more hectic. Let's jump in.
Monday July 21
My goal is to get back into a morning routine for me with some quiet time, reading my Bible, and working out all before the chaos of the day and work. I know it will not get done later. Starting my week off strong.
Also got a workout done.
Ella usually watched Anna and Austin while Brian and I are at work. Since she was on vacation with my parents they had to go to work with me. The church as no issues with this as long as they behave. They played in the nursery while I worked for a few hours. Then I surprised them with McDonald's for lunch. After we ate in a park we did a quick grocery shopping trip for the week.
Look at this beauty. She asked if she could do her make-up and since we had no other plans for the evening I agreed.
I love that they get excited for the wildlife too. The mama deer with the twins were outback.
Anna got two new gymnastics Barbie's for her birthday that she asked me to open then she played in her room for a while.
After dinner we went for a family walk at the rec center. It was a beautiful evening, a little chilly for a walk. We went there so the kids wouldn't ride their bikes. They both walked a little over 1.5 miles and didn't complain. Brian said we were going to go for a walk everyday to prep for Disney (it didn't happen). This is the first year Austin won't be in a stroller.
Tuesday July 22
Up with my alarm. I was going to do my me time outside, but it was a little chilly.
Instead I curled up on the couch and got my reading, journaling, and prayers done.
Downstairs to workout.
Delicious breakfast that Brian made.
I worked for a few hours. The sign in front of the church I work at. I had to change the message on the sign. I always go outside and make sure the sign changed. (the old office administrator had a lot of issues with it, I have not had any issues)
No big plans the rest of the day. Before heading to our friends house for the kids to play I noticed a mama deer laying at the edge of the woods.
Wednesday July 23
I had the intentions of sleeping in because I could and have nowhere to be early. My body had other plans and I was awake before 6am. Instead of fighting it I got up and got my day started.
Morning me time
Third workout of the week.
While making breakfast I looked out the kitchen window and saw an itty bitty baby deer. We figured the mama deer that was laying close by the night before must have had her overnight.
I found this archery set that my kids got for Christmas in the basement unopened. I brought it up and they had fun playing with it.
Ella came home from vacation with my parents in a good mood. Then she went to her dads for the night.
Ella's two friends randomly stopped by as they were out for a walk. She hadn't seen them in a while and they were a little disappointed she wasn't home.
Thursday July 24
Morning me time and a workout
I worked a few hours and came home to my kids fighting. They got all the screens taken away and
I sent them outside to play while I got some blog and marketing work done.
Sneak peak at our family shirts for this year.
It was a hot evening and the neighbors all ended up playing on the waterslide and in the pool. They heard an ice cream truck and ran out front and the guy stopped. Ice cream trucks are actually illegal in our city so none of the kids have ever had the summer fun of getting ice cream from an ice cream truck. After we got the kids ice cream, the guy realized he was in the wrong city. When he left he turned his music off.
Friday July 25
Going strong 5 for 5 on getting my mindset morning and workout done.
Friday was a blur. I packed more, did laundry, finished making shirts and cups and stroller signs.
Brian went to the store and bought blue lights- to light up the night. We live near where 3 officers were shot from an ambush while eating lunch and one officer passed away.
We had a low key night at home with no friends.
Saturday July 26
Curled up on the couch reading the Bible. Everyone woke up early so I didn't get my workout in. I planned to do it later but it didn't happen.
We had a somewhat relaxing Saturday. More packing, playing with the kids and ended up spending some time with the neighbors while the kids played.
Sunday July 27
Had church in the morning, then home to relax and do more packing.
That afternoon we had an ice cream social at our church with a magician that was princess and pirated themed. Anna heard the theme and it screamed lets dress up as Ariel.
They also did some paint spinning.
After church we went to our neighbors for some pizza for dinner and order our groceries for vacation. It was an early night to start getting the kids to bed earlier. I ended the night finish packing what I could.
Thank you for stopping by!!!!! If you are new here,
Feel free to follow along.
XOXO
