Our Jam-Packed Weekend

FRIDAY

The Gilmores will be saving a lot of money now that I'm back to work. We spent many summer Fridays going shopping for good deals. 

This Friday was  not a contracted day for us teachers, so Aria and I took Mimi to do some last minute shopping. I mainly bought things for my classroom.


Aria is a great shopper as long as she is hanging out in her front-carrier!

Once we were finally done shopping, we went to my classroom to organize all the stuff. This time I brought the bouncy seat along to help keep the princess occupied.


When a baby gets bored, it's time to bring out the monkey.



We had a big day, but we weren't done yet. We still had the pre-season Chiefs home opener to attend! My super awesome friend, Janice gave us free tickets and a parking pass. You can't beat that.

It is no longer easy to bring a baby to a game with the new NFL rules:

Aria did great!






SATURDAY

Saturday was also fabulous. My sister-in-law from out-of-town came with Colbin's cousin. We had pool-side fun! 

The water was too cold for Aria though. :(


Awake...

then not so much.



SUNDAY

After church, I was lucky enough to get a big nap! Two hours to be exact. Aria never misses a chance to nap either.


I used to hate Monopoly, but it was actually fun to play with Levi and the kid(s). We have to savor these times together before Colbin becomes a teen and is too cool for family board game time.



Even Gus got in on the action!


WEIGHT WATCHERS

 This week was a huge success- down 3.6 pounds! Getting back into running must have really helped pump up my weight loss. Today's run was tough, though. I got my two miles in, but the heat slowed me down. At least I got out and did it though! Right?

Accomplishments of 34 Weeks

Image
How was your weekend? Ours was busy, but we still had time to play. Sunday was our annual Freedom Celebration at church. Since I'm not playing in the orchestra, I got to sit back and enjoy watching for the first time in the 8 years I have been attending our fabulous church.  We've made it to  34 weeks   so far. That's an accomplishment in and of itself! I'm incredibly proud of these babies! As usual, the babies all got great reports today and passed their tests with flying colors. Baby A: Livi heart rate: 132 She was actually the first to pass her NST today instead of being last like usual. Baby B: Beckett heart rate: 137 Beckett was the sleepy one today. He needed the noise stimulation during the Non-Stress Test, but then woke him up and he passed. He is so squished that we couldn't get any pictures of him today. Baby C: Henry  heart rate: 152 As always, Henry is running around all over the place and the life of the ...

Leave Room 4 Llama

One week down and we are bouncing off the walls over here.  I'm so thankful we have the internet to get us through this social distancing. Thanks to wifi, we've been doing daily kids' yoga. Friday it was Moana yoga. Of course Livi had to quickly change into her Moana outfit to fit the part. I'm thankful for wifi so we can have screen time to have a break from hearing my name yelled over and over. Hopefully the weather will be nicer this week so we can be outside more. I'm thankful for wifi so we can have group chats with our friends on Facebook Messenger using silly filters. I'm thankful for wifi so I can follow others on Instagram who love to use their bullet journal as a coping mechanism. I thought this page was a great one to copy down into my own journal and use daily while stuck at home. I'm thankful we finally found more milk. (No, we aren't hoarding. This is how much I buy every week!) I...

Social Distancing and Fresh Air

Image
Hasn't the weather been superb the last couple days of social distancing? On days two and three of COVID-19 hunkering down, we got to walk with Minnie and pick flowers. Fresh air is good for the soul. I guess it's pretty good for the immune system too. Aria started complaining of a sore tummy later in the day today, but she made it outside for a bit anyway. Still in her jammies, no less. Livi doesn't quite understand social distancing yet, but she never lets me forget to help her find her hat for going outside.  Maybe she just thinks she looks more stylish in her hat than without. For "school" we started ABC Mouse online. All four kids really enjoy it. As soon as the boys woke up this morning, they were asking to play on it. Aria has figured out that reading online with a website her teacher sent out is just as fun as reading to her triplets.  This morning the weather was not so great, so we...
