Keepin' Busy

Monday 3/5

Myles left early this morning. Took Aaron to school, worked out, and met a friend at the mall. Then got Aaron, went to Costco (possibly my favorite store :))

Tuesday 3/4

Swimming lessons for both kids. Emma's class is first and is a parent to class. Aaron was awesome at waiting for his turn on the bench. I though he would have an issue with patience, but he was great! Emma and Aaron are both really good swimmers. Emma uses a "bubble" floaty-thing, but she will swim all by herself with it on. And Aaron swims with goggles on, and just takes off. I'm really proud of how good they both are. We're definitely keeping up with this for a while. After that, we had TONS of running around to do. And we topped the day off by having dinner at Applebee's.

Wednesday 3/7

SNOW!! We got a few inches(4ish) overnight. Thank goodness for the snowblower. That's' the only way the driveway will get cleared if Myles is gone. School day. I forgot that Emma has a gymnastics class today, so we missed it. Oops! I highlighted a friends hair from my moms club. It turned out really good, if I do say so myself.

Thursday 3/8

The kids had a blast today! We went to Ikea first thing in the morning, I usually go every time Myles goes out of town, it takes a while to get there and then it takes a while to shop, so it's a good way to have a mini field trip for the kids. And they love the play area there. And hey, I can ALWAYS find something I can buy at Ikea. Then we went to Trader Joe's, also a favorite of the kids. Aaron loves the kids-sized shopping carts they have. He likes being my helper. THEN, after a quick nap for Emma, we went to the mall. Can you tell I like to keep as busy as possible when Myles is out of town?? After that, Aaron's friends came over for a bit while their parents had a meeting at church.

Friday 3/9

Short school day 9:30-11:30, so nothing much going on. Myles got home around 8. The kids were so excited. After Myles handed out his travelling presents, it took quite a while to settle the kids down to get to sleep. They were so happy to have Daddy home again!

Saturday 3/10

We decided that we would take the kids to the pool. I wanted to show Myles how good they've gotten and it was a good way to have fun family time. We were there are 2 hours!! It was so much fun. I might try to go every weekend. Then is was Family Movie Night. We watched Eight Below. It's a really cute Disney movie.

Sunday 3/11

A beautiful day!!! It was so nice outside. We went out to lunch and then the kids played outside while Myles and I cleaned out my car. It needed it! We decided that Aaron really needs a new bike. He has a toddler bike that he has really out-grown. So we all went to Target to look, and they didn't have any! So, I'm on the look-out this week. The original plan was to wait until his birthday, but now we see that he really needs on sooner rather than later.
