This week has been pretty decent, considering what we’ve been through in past weeks.. 🙂
The holiday weekend is coming upon us, and the kids were supposed to be going to visit their dad. Well, as it turns out, they won’t be going afterall. They were looking forward to going, but they are taking it pretty well.
The funny thing is, they missed the ice cream truck on our street last weekend, so they immediately said, oh then we will be here for the ice cream truck this time!!! YES!!! It made me feel better, because they are doing ok. I know they’re a little bummed by this change, but I’m glad they have positive outlooks.
We have some great plans for this holiday weekend, so I’m looking forward to our quality time we will have.
The gym will be closed on Monday, so we will truly have a 3 day weekend doing lots of things, making those memories.
Don’t get me wrong, there will be some of those moments, where I will want to pull my hair out.. haha
Pee on the floor, next to the toilet, some kid won’t flush, and another kid will tell on the other for it. Someone will sneak food and put the trash under the couch. Someone else will hide their undies, if they don’t wipe well enough.. I’ll find them in a week. ugh!
With some of the plans I have, I’m sure 1 or more will whine about them. But, I only have good intentions here. My hope is that they will grow up, look back one day, and say, wow! We sure did a lot, and I am so glad we did!!
I do take a ton of pictures of everything we do, and at the end of each year, for Christmas, I put together an actual photo album from all the things we had done. I started this in 2015, and it will continue through their childhood, every year. They know I do this, so I now have requests to take a certain picture of something, and add it to the memory book.
THAT makes my heart melt, and KNOW that I’m doing at least SOMETHING right…
Happy Memorial Day weekend!!
Get outside, make some memories, try something new, and don’t forget to capture some of the moments on camera. 🙂
All in a Day
