Was very pleasant! Friday I worked my but off getting the house as clean (as I can get it with everything we are doing to it) I figured with the long weekend coming I wanted a somewhat livable house. I was pleasantly surprised to wake up on Saturday at 10 a.m. yes you read right 10 a.m.! My hubby got up with the kids at 7, and figured it would be nice for me and boy was it!! When I finally got up I was a little nervous about going out into the living rooms cause let's face it, my husband and children + being in the house without my supervision equals disaster! You can imagine my surprise when I walked out, the morning dishes were done, the living rooms picked up, the floors swept and they were getting ready to vacuum, I was in HEAVEN I honestly had to pinch myself to make sure it wasn't a dreaming, it was absolutely awesome!! We had a nice relaxing day, we watched movies, played games, and I actually got do do some reading, it really was a great day.
Dana got up with the kids again on Sunday, but do to me throwing up all night and feeling like crap I didn't sleep in, which was a bummer I was looking forward to it. We worked together to get dinner in the crock pot, then Dane took the older kids to church, I laid Ellie down for a nap and had plans to clean the bathrooms but my exhaustion over took me and I slept the entire time they were gone, it was nice. We had dinner when they got home, made cookies for desert then sat and watched Alice in Wonderland (the new Tim Burton one) it was really good, I didn't think I was going to like it, I really don't like Tim Burton that much and the pre-views really freaked me out. I thought it was going to be really dark, but it wasn't there were a few gross parts but other than that I loved it. The kids really liked it too, Ryne decided she wants to be "the big Alice with curly hair" for Halloween, so we shall see how that goes. After the kids were in bed I took a much needed shower and went to bed.
Everyone was up about 7 a.m. yesterday, we had a nice breakfast of eggs, bacon and toast (the only thing missing was the orange juice). After breakfast we tidied up the house, once that was done we went swimming for a couple of hrs, even though I still wasn't feeling 100% it was still fun. We had English muffin pizzas for lunch, while the older kids watched a movie and Ellie took a nap Dane and I cleaned up the yard, and got rid of some furniture that was falling apart. Some friends were going to come over for a BBQ but there kids were pretty tuckered out from the long weekend, Ryne was really upset but was comforted quickly when we had a warm chocolate chip cookie topped with scoop of ice cream on top for dessert! We watched The Spy Next Door with Jackie Chan, again I didn't really think I was going to like this movie, the pre-views I saw made it look cheesy but it was really really good. I am going to have to watch it again with Kaleb cause he fell asleep within the first 10 mins!
We had such a great weekend, everyone worked together to keep up with the house and because of that I was able to sit and spend my time with the family instead of cleaning. Everyone seemed to be a lot more patient and understanding with one another and I feel well rested and ready to start a new week!
