I went into the weekend stressed about balancing the need to get things done around the house, catch-up on work, and spend time with the kids. After having a quiet afternoon where the boys were at a birthday party and Claire was napping, I was able to get past that feeling after catching up on a few items. The boys had a blast at the birthday party where there was a bounce house and lots of trains (a bigger collection of Geotrax than what they have if you can believe that). Saturday evening, we decided to head to my mom's house where she was filling up her pool (finally) and the cousins were already splashing it up. The boys happily joined in and played for hours with their cousins. Papa joined in and the kids had a blast playing with Papa into the evening. Claire also had her first dip into a pool...she seemed to enjoy it!
On Sunday, the boys had already made plans to head back over there. I left with the three kids around lunch time, we had an outdoor lunch at mom's house, and then me and the kids swam. Claire was loving it for the time she was in! After a couple hours by ourselves, daddy, gma, and cousins all showed up and joined in. It ended up being a very nice afternoon for a swim...the pool was full, sun was shining, the wind was giving a nice breeze, and everyone was in good moods. I have a feeling this will become a recurring weekend event. I just wish it was at our house so we could skip the loading up the car part...
