Reality struck today when Caity and Stefan left for home this morning. Rowan gave us our third night in a row, which truly feels unbelievable. We are so thrilled, and hopeful that it will continue. However, for whatever reason, Dekker was up quite early and when we asked him through the monitor to please quiet down so as to not wake Laela, he blatantly disobeyed. It was fine to a degree, as we were getting up to see Caity and Stef off anyway, but we know our kids. They were trashed until nap time and pretty difficult through the evening. But thats another story, and a pretty unimportant one.
Once the company had gone, we doddled around my parents place for a bit. We grabbed breakfast and Brady packed us all up and loaded the van. We had a really nice drive home and put the kids to bed almost immediately. Unfortunately, we didn’t get the house in order before we left for the weekend, so the kitchen was full of dishes, our room had some laundry to put away, and a few other things are waiting to be done. We opted out of tidying up and instead chose to lay in bed, have some lunch, and watch a bit of Netflix.
It was SO great to have Jerilee come over for the evening!! In case you’re not all terrible people like us, The Bachelorette premiered tonight 😀 We had so much fun getting together weekly with the last season that we had to relive that this time around. So we ordered some food in (because we didn’t feel like getting organized today) and watched downstairs after the kids were in bed. They had so much fun getting some time in with Auntie Jerry before bed.
Tomorrow will likely be an interesting day. The kids will begin readjusting to normal life where we don’t have company every day. Less exceptions to the general rules, things like that. Also, for me, I’ll have to begin the task of trying to get things back in order around here. I’m not going to push it too hard, but I want to at least get a good start on the dishes. Laundry isn’t emergent just yet, but I have two of my laundry basket FILLED with clothes that don’t fit the kids anymore that need to be put away in tubs. So that all needs to be folded and organized by size, and packed up. Once thats done, I can do our current laundry, but not tomorrow. I think I caught up on that mid last week, so we’re still in good shape for a while.
I’m thinking no one really cares about my list of chores to do for the next day or so, so I’m done writing for the day 🙂 I hope you all had great weekends!! Make this Monday a good one!
