Last week was busy. Monday I took the boys to Flat Fork Creek Park for a little adventure time. We walked through the woods on the trails, climbed the big hill, and ate a picnic lunch. The boys we so well behaved the entire time, it was clearly exactly what we all needed. I loved having the alone time with them as we aren't getting much of that lately.
Mayson, Gavin, and Natalie play so well together. They practiced chalk writing, touched the frog, and went on a walk to feed ducks.
This hill was huge! They climbed to the top (not following the trail) and ran down just laughing away.
They enjoyed rolling down this hill. Gavin ended up rolling right on a bee and getting stung, but he didn't even cry! He just whimpered for a second and moved on.
We took our first family bike ride to feed the ducks last week as well. Both boys need helmets as they have both outgrown theirs and Gavin is outgrowing his bike very fast, but we had such a good time. I am SO thankful that we are able to enjoy this time together. These are things we typically wouldn't be able to do because of sports or work. I am not taking this fore-granted.
Tuesday and Wednesday I worked dayshift. It was rough. I wanted to be with the boys and we had alot of trouble getting things completed.
We then took our bikes to the park and went on a 2 mile bike ride Friday. It was so much fun. I foresee many more adventures like this, this spring/summer. Mayson didn't want it to end and Gavin said his legs hurt (again needs a bigger bike).
Saturday it was GORGEOUS outside and I was unfortunately working dayshift again :(. Sunday we broke quarantine and went to see Amelia and pick up cousin Natalie for a sleepover. I cannot believe how big Amelia has gotten in the 7 weeks since we have seen her last. Don't worry though, she smiled as soon as I got her, she hasn't forgotten me.
The boys are still wanting Natalie here and keep talking about when she can come stay again. I love that!
I'm back to night shift this week (THANK GOODNESS). Last week trying to focus on E-learning and work (and the boys not killing eachother) was so challenging. I cannot wait to see what this week brings, I sure hope it's warmth, sunshine, and happiness for all.
