*This* is how our morning went...
So, this morning I get up deciding we would go to church. OK, we can do that. We have enough time. So Matt goes to get ready. I prep the diaper bag (snacks, milk, quiet toys) and get Maddy's clothes out. This sounds like no small feat. But prepping the diaper bag can take forever! Now that the bag is prepped I took Maddy upstairs and got out her clothes for church (isn't that dress cute!!) and then went to our room to get out my clothes. Matt finished up prepping while I hustled through a shower, makeup, hair and clothes. Matt took Maddy back downstairs. As I was finishing up he came upstairs with her and got her dressed and got dressed himself. Out the door we went.
Except... I forgot the church offering. It was in the front pocket of my purse which I decided I didn't need since it didn't match my outfit and really, we were only going to church and Matt had his wallet and keys... Oh well, right?
Except... We were leaving about 20 minutes before church starts and our church is very crowded. Oh well, we'll find a seat somewhere. Maybe it will be halfway up the church, but we'll find a place. Maddy will be fine.
Except... She wasn't fine. You see her face in this picture. Matt had to fight her to get her dressed and she was fussy all the way to church. This wouldn't be a big deal...
Except... It was raining and traffic was pretty crowded. Not to mention it was the Sunday crowd.. Oh well, we're almost there. Sure we may be 10 minutes late once walk in the door but at least we made it!
Except...Wait, isn't it confirmation Sunday?! So it will be doubly crowded with no place to sit and us showing up late with a fussy baby.
WE TURNED AROUND AND WENT BACK HOME.
Ok, let's go out for breakfast. Eh, Maddy's fussy, we better not. Ok, let's go to the mall and let her walk around and burn off some of this attitude/energy. That's what we did. And she loved it. She had a blast. We were all dressed up with no place to go but the mall. It wasn't open yet, so it wasn't very crowded so Maddy had a lot of room to run but nothing she could really get into or get hurt on. She loved going up and down the elevator since it has a clear back and she can see out.
So why not stop for McD's on the way home? Oops, there is a drive through (I hate the spelling of thru. Call it the teacher in me. Random, I know) line backed up a mile long. Matt went in. They stopped serving breakfast 3 minutes ago. He came back out.
Let's just go HOME. So home we went. Maddy was fussy the entire time in the door, even when I tried to get her to eat Matt's famous omelette's. He makes the best omelettes and Maddy loves them. Oh well, so her and I snuggled while Matt ate and then cleaned up lunch. Then Matt and her snuggled while I did some more cleaning and having a hot cup of tea.
Off for a nap she went and I did some Pilates. Now Matt is playing a XBox Game. Whew, what a morning. Yesterday was pretty uneventful. We worked on the basement some while Maddy napped. Then Matt mowed the lawn and I did some turf builder which has been washed out in the rain. Oh well! Matt took Maddy to Target to get some new hoses for both the front and backyards since I didn't feel like either one of them really worked well. Now we have a regular hose in the back with a ossolating sprinkler and a curly hose in the front with a twirling sprinkler or hand sprayer attachment. Matt bought a timer as well so I can set up the sprinkler for a certain time limit and not have to go back out to shut it off. That will be very handy!
OK, well, I'm off. Have a good one!
