Well, our long weekend of chaos has come to an end. Definitely wasn’t boring, that’s for sure. Still, not looking forward to heading back to work though. At least Friday is my flex day, so a 3-Day work week, I can handle that!
The girls were pretty exhausted this morning. I had Olivia sleep in our room last night to make sure they could both get their sleep. They just wake each other up too early, and it’s not good. Amelia did wake up around 7:00, left the room (slamming the door behind her), saw nobody was awake, went back into her room (slamming the door behind her) and went back to bed. I finally ended up opening her door so she could wake up around 10:15. Olivia did hear the door slamming, and woke up, but when I told her that Amelia went back to bed, she fell asleep again until a little after 9:00. We laid in bed and watched some cartoons until 10:00, then woke Christian up to start the day.
He quickly got dressed, and headed outside to get all of the tools and stuff together to get back to swing set building. I got the girls up, dressed and fed, then we went to join him outside. I was able to help Christian while the girls played…sandbox, bubbles, swinging…everything. We ended up filling the pool for them because it was pretty hot out, so that kept them busy for a while. Olivia keeps asking about her “park”, but I keep telling her “no, we’re building a house for Chuy”. I don’t think I can “trick” her for much longer though!
The girls started getting a little crabby, so I ordered some Davanni’s for lunch and I watched a movie with them until the food got there. Then, they went down for a nap – I wasn’t sure if they would take one, but they most definitely needed one by that point. Christian and I finished putting together the main “clubhouse” portion of the swing set, and with that, everything was TOGETHER, it just needs to be combined. We called it a day there because it’s Labor Day, and we were off to a BBQ at his parents’ house!
We showered and got ready, then the girls were up and we were off. My sister in law and her 3 girls were there, so we were all pretty excited to see them again and spend some time together. Can you imagine, 5 girls running around together…from 2-7…my, the screams could be heard from a mile away! They had a blast though, so hopefully we can get them together often!
On our way to their house, we noticed my car was making YET another noise – actually, the same as the last time we had issues…it sounded like an airplane taking off when I would stop or go. Sure enough, another brake was going out. Luckily, last time Christian only had to replace one of the back brakes, but they’re sold as a set of two, so he had all of the parts he needed. He’s a pro by now, so we whipped off the tire, replaced it and put it back together in no time. UGH, stupid car! Thank god he’s good with cars, and willing to work on them, or we’d be screwed! Hopefully we can catch a break for a while now!
We finally left (late) and headed home. Got the girls bathed and in bed, watched a little TV and passed out. Exhausted doesn’t explain it after this weekend!
Here are a few pictures of our day…the girls having a little fun in the backyard, and finally together with their cousins!
