Weekend Happenings

Remember in my last post when I promised to be back with a "Fun Friday" post? Well, oops, hate to have disappointed you, but my Friday post would not have been very fun. Why? Well, it could be because I was stuck at home with two boys who had (wait for it)... Scarlet Fever. Seriously.

That sounds more dramatic than it actually was. All Scarlet Fever really is, is strep throat with an accompanying rash. I just like the sound of it - makes being sick seem a bit fancier :) Anyway, we have been housebound since about Thursday loading up on antibiotics and resting. After being cooped up with the sick twins, I was very excited on Friday evening when Wes game home bearing gifts for me.

I. Love. Weeds. Seriously one of my favorite shows. We watched several episodes that night while sipping a yummy glass of red.

 Wes and I did manage to get a TON of stuff done around the house on Saturday. We cleaned out/sorted/organized every toy upstairs, and ended up with 10 bags of stuff to either donate or trash. After that we spent the rest of the day rearranging some furniture to make the playroom more functional. Oh, and we finally dismantled the crib. Liam has only been out of it for a year now, no big deal. We are totally on top of things!

On Sunday we chilled at home - one last day to get those immune systems back up and running. The boys slept in a bit, and then we stayed in our PJ's while enjoying time in our newly organized upstairs. (It is a little ridiculous how happy an organized room makes me.) We played a few rounds of Skip-Bo with Noah and he kicked my tail. Liam was interested in the card game for about 5 minutes before he promptly wandered off to go do something else.... Which turned out to be grabbing random weapons and attacking us while we played. Nothing like 3 people concentrating on cards while the little guy furiously runs in circles growling and hurling swords and daggers at us. Good times - I had to stop and document his antics.

Also, I had a 6 mile run planned for yesterday afternoon and I was becoming a bit concerned because I had been eating a lot of this...

So I took some inspiration from Natalie at Designer Bags and Dirty Diapers and made this yummy lunch to fuel my run.

It was really delicious and it worked! A windy, cold 6-miler done and checked off the list!

And, now it's back to the grind. Even though this morning may have been the most freezing cold morning yet, Monday has still been going pretty well. I am grateful to have the boys back to feeling healthy, the sun is shining, and fun plans for this weekend are already in the works. Here's to a great week!
