2017 - Week 20

May 15.
It was a lazy kind of Monday - sweeping the side walk, doing chalk, swinging like a big kid, enjoying the beautiful weather at the park and snuggling when daddy gets home.

May 16.
We made a morning of it and jogged to the gym - Rad was ready. Moana, shades and fish - the essentials. Sister helped prep dinner and wash dishes while brother took a nap.

May 17.
Morning pool swim and picnic on G's roof with the cousins before a trip to Target. Rad got new shoes and a new Mickey shirt, Nora a new red horse dress - ignore how exhausted and sweat/sunscreen covered they were when they wanted to pose with their new gear. Rad hit the tired wall while eating dinner...poor little dude. It's hard having a full fun day!

May 18.
Started the day early with breakfast on the porch. Followed by a trip to Storyville and Costco - for a balanced lunch of hotdogs and icecream. :) Afternoon was spent relaxing and playing in the porch pool. They LOVE the water.

May 19.
Escaped to DC for the day with my love. We went to The National Archives, The Museum of Natural History, The Museum of American History, walked the mall to see the monuments, and enjoyed a quiet breakfast and lunch sans kiddos. Special thanks to my SIL, Hilaire, for watching our 2 AND her 3 kids while we enjoyed the day away!

Evening was spent watching Eric Church at the Verizon Center. He played for 3.5 hours - what an epic show, amazing performer and awesome first concert with my love. We were up WAY past our usual bed time, but totally worth it!! Thanks Chaz for such a great belated anniversary trip.

May 20.
Back to reality. I spent the morning entertaining the kiddos and cousins while Hilaire took my nephew to a birthday party and Chaz worked. We made "soup: in puddles in the park, played guitar, watched Trolls, played with playdough, and ate LOTS of snacks. Lazy afternoon to recover from the past few days.

May 21.
Sunday is about family time. Sister joined me on a tour of Baltimore early morning run...she loved that I let her wear pjs and no shoes out of the house. We did some porch rocking and bike race watching - it was fun having the Humane Society annual bike race right across the street in the park.
