Today was a very fun day! The girls slept in AGAIN until 8:30! Man, I love it! Amelia was up in the middle of the night again last night, I hope it's just her teeth and not some horrible sleep regression going on!
Thankfully I took the initiative to back the diaper bag, lay out the girl' clothes and shower last night (hoping they would sleep in again), so we just ate a quick breakfast, got dressed and were on our way. There is an aquarium at the Mall of America, and they were offering free admission to laid off state employees this week. The girls are both free anyway, and we've never taken then, so I had to take advantage of the offer. My mom and a friend of ours, both also laid off, went with us and we all had a great time. I hadn't been there since it first opened, YEARS ago, and they've made a ton of changes to it, including a super awesome new jellyfish exhibit, so I was excited to get back there and check it out. It was so great of them to have this deal going on.
After the aquarium, Olivia went with my mom to spend the night with her. While a little peace and quiet is nice, it never feels quite right without that crazy girl running around the house! Amelia and I just headed home. She passed out on the way, and took a nice long nap. So, I had time to watch a little TV, eat some lunch and just relax. Christian worked late again, and picked up some dinner on his way home.
After Amelia passed out, Christian and I watched a little TV together and hung out. And with that, my first week of playing the stay at home role came to a close. It's basically what I expected...actually went a little better than I anticipated. Olivia had a few rough moments here and there, but nothing too bad. We kept ourselves busy, slept in, took nice long naps, got stuff done. I'm excited for a weekend of little chores...YAY!
Here are some pictures from our trip to the aquarium.
