This weekend was like no other weekend we will have this fall. We had a Bye Weekend, which meant, we had DJ home! It was so fabulous to have him home Friday night and all of Saturday! It might be my favorite weekend of all football season ;)
We started off Friday with purple day at Meggie's preschool. She wore purple shoes, purple and white stripe shorts, a purple tee, and a purple bow. Her purple backpack was the perfect preschool accessory.
She was not cooperative for a picture though Friday morning. Girlfriend was a bit grouchy and wanting to get in to school.
DJ got home Friday afternoon and cut the grass and cleaned out the garage. I rounded up the girls after school and we headed home.
Addy Pearl was pretty cranky. She had only slept an hour at daycare, so she was full of cuddles. We ended up ordering pizza for dinner, the big girls played, and Addy and I cuddled on the sofa.
After dinner, Addy got a quick bath, and I rocked her to sleep. She was just SO tired, and in 5 minutes flat, girl was out. I haven't rocked her to sleep in forever and I totally enjoyed the cuddle time.
Once I got Addy down, I headed outside to see Gretchen riding her bike and Megan playing in the yard.
We played outside until right after dark, and then got the big girls in the bed.
Saturday morning, I woke up and diffused this trio of oils. It's the time of year for weather changes, so we're battling seasonal sniffles with a few of our favorite oils!
Megan had about 5 wardrobe changes before 10 am.
And Addy came over and said, "belly" when she saw me breaking out the oils for the diffuser! She totally knows where her oils go and she loves them!
I spent the morning cleaning and decorating for fall.
DJ helped out by taking the girls to the park. I had an hour of quiet and pure bliss while I cleaned and decorated.
After lunch, Megan came down for some cuddles.
A few minutes later, she was sound asleep.
DJ carried her upstairs, and after nap time, we had family dinner, baths, and got ready for bed.
Sunday morning, the girls woke us up requesting doughnuts for breakfast.
So, we quickly got ready for church and headed to Krispy Kreme.
Doughnuts for the win!
We love Krispy Kreme!
After a doughnut breakfast, we headed to church, and the girls requested a picture with John Wesley.
And then Addy ran ahead while DJ had to catch up with her!
DJ left church a few minutes early and headed to football. I rounded up the girls and we came home for lunch and naps.
I did some sewing during nap time.
And once Addy was awake, we headed to the football office for our team dinner.
Then we came home again and ran around outside.
Addy went to bed and DJ made it home and we decided that it would be fun for the girls to stay up to watch the lunar eclipse.
So, we headed outside for some moon gazing.
This girl loves to learn! She studied the moon and all of its phases last year in first grade, and she loved being able to watch the eclipse!
Gretchen played in the yard while we were waiting. She found a frog and tried to throw it on me! Fun fact, but I am terrified of frogs or anything that might jump on me!
Our moon gazer.
Showing us the moon.
Sitting on their play house is her favorite spot.
And, sometimes she stands on it too.
We had put Megan to bed, but she wasn't falling asleep (I think the moon had something to do with that!) So we let her come outside to watch the eclipse too.
Our middle child moon gazer!
Once we saw the moon covered, we sent the girls back inside and straight to bed!
We had a pretty fabulous weekend! It went by way too fast, and I may be counting down to another weekend already!
