It was a wonderful family weekend

This weekend worked out even better than we had originally planned.  I'm so grateful for the time with my kids.

On Friday, Catherine had pepband and Andrew had dinner with a friend then went to the game.  I got Robert to and from swim practice, then the boys and I hung out at home.  Robert has been fighting a cold so he had NyQuil, and everyone was in bed early.  Everyone slept over nine hours, and Catherine and Thomas slept over twelve hours.  We needed that.

I spent Saturday cleaning the house.  We were supposed to have company and I wanted things picked up.  Robert was spending the afternoon with his girlfriend since we had plans for the evening.  I was able to be hugely productive, and early afternoon our friends had to cancel because of illness in their family.  We were disappointed, but I was also excited about the opportunity to spend time just with our family.  We ordered a few pizzas, and the kids decided they wanted to watch Big Bang Theory.  They hadn't seen much of season 9 so we binged watched several episodes.  I love, love, love listening to my kids laugh.  Everyone had an early morning at church yesterday, so they went to bed early on Saturday as well.

Yesterday after church we ran a few errands.  Andrew spent the afternoon at school planning for the week and Robert had to be at work at 5.  No one wanted to eat out last evening though, and he was off by 7.  Our family watched the game together, although since we aren't fans of either team (although I can't stand the Patriots...NOT happy with the outcome) everyone went to bed early since this is the last week of swim and it's important to stay healthy.

I'm so grateful to have had these opportunities.  I never miss the chance to soak them up!
