What A Beautiful Day

Good afternoon, everyone!

This week has, obviously, had some really rough patches. But there have been a lot of wonderful moments as well. Without further ado: this week's happy log!

Sat 2/10 - We decided to do something different and try a new non-franchise restaurant for dinner. We ended up at Grits N Greens, which was about a 15 minute drive away. It was a much longer wait than we thought it would be, but the food was delicious!

Sun 2/11 - Oh my gosh I actually got to church almost on a time. I walked in to service only a minute late! Considering I'm still trying to figure this whole parenting and being places on time thing, I'll take that as a win!

Mon 2/12 - Andrew had a training day, which meant we got to have a late start since no one had to be anywhere until after 8!  If you know me, you know I treasure my sleep.

Tues 2/13 - Happy 3rd birthday, Rin! I officially have a threenager, y'all, and she acts like it with how sassy and argumentative she is. For her birthday, she got some happy birthday videos and calls, a card (she called it her birthday book), a Pikachu bag, and a cupcake!
Wed 2/14 - Ah, Valentine's Day. My least favorite holiday ever. I think I can count on one hand the number of times I've had a purely good day on this day. Today was no exception. The day ran late, dinner plans were messed up, and I got frustrated.

BUT! After we put the kids down, we took our pizza that we had gotten, heated ourselves some dinner, lit a candle, and had a peaceful candlelight dinner. And put on some Jack Johnson pandora radio to top off the mood. Valentine's Day was saved hahaha.

Thurs 2/15 - Another not so great day. But the weather was beautiful, I learned a new song on guitar (have I told everyone that I'm learning to play guitar yet?!), and I didn't have to cook dinner! Also, every time I sit down to practice guitar, this is what happens:
And we had a sweet moment with Rin. Andrew asked her to cuddle with Pikachu in her room while I got Amelia down for bed and he took care of some things, then shut her door so she wouldn't distract Amelia from sleep. I realized it had gotten really quiet in there. Went in after Amelia was down and saw this (no naps and lot of play makes for overly tired kiddos):
Fri 2/16 (today) - It is yet again an absolutely BEAUTIFUL day and I refused to stay in this morning.

I did something new with my hair before we headed out to the park!
I'm not going to lie. It took WAY too long to do my hair like this. And even though it's a little wonky, I wasn't about to spend more time taking it down and fixing it! I feel pretty, so whatever!
Amelia's first time on a swing! She was giggling and kicking her little legs and feet as hard as she could!
Rin was having a blast on the slides and then the swings. I asked if I could take her picture and she was fine with that. But she refused to smile while I did so. So even though she may look serious, I promise it's only because she wanted to try to keep the swing going by herself!

Happy Friday everyone!
