Today started off quite gloomy. Little rain showers here and there, lots of clouds. We planned on grilling today, so we spent the morning with our fingers crossed, hoping the weather would change.
In the meantime, we all ate some breakfast, did a little light cleaning around the house. I worked on laundry on an off all day. While the girls napped, I was off to Target to do our weekly shopping. Nothing too exciting this week, pretty much just the basics (that's no fun!). Throughout the morning, the weather got better and better, but never amazing.
The Madrid's came over around dinner time to hang out for the night. Christian grilled some yummy chicken, corn and potatoes, while the rest of us hung out with the kids and tried keeping them under control. Olivia and Meeka really go back and forth...they are all laughs and giggles for a while, then they fight over everything and anything for a while, then they ignore each other for a while, then they are BFF's again. It's exhausting, but makes me laugh at the same time. After dinner, we had a little relaxing movie watching time so the girls could calm down a little bit, then we headed outside for a little bonfire and some s'mores. I seriously drool over the thought of s'mores. Kelly found some GIANT marshmallow's too, which just made them that much better! YUM YUM!
While we were outside, the girls played with some sparklers, Amelia became obsessed with the slide, and the jumed in the jump-o-lene for a while. Finally, the Madrid's headed home the girls were off to bed, and we were not far behind them. Exhausting day, for sure! Glad we have Monday to recover! Amelia did not sleep well again last night, poor thing. She has 3 more top teeth starting to poke through, so add that to her breathing and sleeping issues, it makes for a long night!
Here are some pictures from our playtime. And, my new favorite video, Amelia and the slide. Love it!
