Week in the Life - Sunday recap

Feeling super grateful to have made it to Sunday. 

Sunday will mark the end of my personal documentation period. 

I'm planning to start collecting the pictures I feel best tell our 

story and add them to an album sometime this week. 

Here's a look at Sunday:

I got to sleep in a little later because Rob got up with Max. 

And, while I could certainly still hear them quite a bit...it does

make all the difference to just be able to lay around a bit longer

in my bed. They eventually come up about 9:15 and Max crawls up

on the bed. I ask if he got a donut for me and he says "no". I ask him

if he will and says "yes". So, him and Rob leave for the donut shop. 

 I use the time while they are away to shower and clean up
a bit in the kitchen.  There are almost always dishes in the sink.

 And messes on the tables. It looks like this morning Max was
all about the stickers, tape, and coloring.

 When they get back, they leave the donuts inside, and Max
and Rob head out to swing.  As soon as he sees me, Max
wants me to push him in the swing.

 We do this for a short bit then I tell him we need to go on some
errands.  He is a little reluctant at first but brightens up with
the promise of helping me mail the last thank you note at the
post office. (I was waiting on one more address).

 As we arrive at the post office, I'm struck by all the beautiful
sunshine! I'm so happy to see it!

 I'm also happy to be wearing shorts and sandals...bring on summer!

 After the post office, we head over to Target (we probably go
there once a day on the weekend). I'm looking for some work
out pants and tops for my mom for her upcoming birthday.
We leave with almost nothing (no trains, toys, or even
icee's)! This must be a record!

 We have one more errand and it's picking up the cake for
Auntie Stacy's birthday at Golden Delight Bakery. Max
was being so good during all these errands.  His favorite
question to ask is "it's going to be a long ride"?  We purchase
a small strawberry delight cake for later.  We run it home to
Rob so he can refrigerate it.  Then, we are off to Wendy's (again).

 After Wendy's I'm determined to stay outside in the
sunshine!  We drive to a new park in Westerville. It's so much
fun!  They have lots of big slides, climbing structures,
bridges, and more!  Max is loving it!

 
 By the time we leave the park, I know that Max will likely
fall asleep in the car. Rather than go all the way home, I bring
him to Stacy's (which she said was okay). I try to put him
in the pack and play and he wakes up. So, we end up watching
the start of Ratatouille (because Stacy DVR'd it for him).
But, Stacy and I decide we want to go to Trader Joes to see
if they have peony bunches (they don't). So, we end up at
another new to us park.  

 By the time we arrive back at her house, Mims and Grandpa
are there. Mims brought some new trucks with her...and
we try them out on Stacy's driveway. We also draw side walk
chalk roads.

 Before long Papa Rob arrives too!  We make a quick trip
over to pick up his car which has a totally new bumper.
It looks great and I'm so grateful to have this behind us.
We end up meeting Max, Stacy, Mims, and Grandpa at
a restaurant near Easton called "Chuys".

 We are celebrating Auntie Stacy's 32nd birthday!  We thought
there would be a long wait...but we get right in!

 Cheers to Auntie Stacy!

 Once we finish up our meal (with a bonus trip to Whole
Food to look for peonies) - we go back to Stacy's!
We put the candles on the cake and sing to her!  Max loves
to help blow out the candles and open all the presents.

 It's still early, so we head back over to the park.  Grandpa
Tim hits golf balls and Max retrieves them!

 Penny and Stacy, and Mims all like to gather the golf balls.

We stay until about 8:00 and then walk back to Stacy's.
Max gets completely naked upon entering her house and
declares it bath time for himself. I leave quickly and he
doesn't seem to be bothered by my leaving.

On the way home I'm able to talk to my friend Candice
in Oregon and we chat for over an hour!

I check on all my plants (to see if the sunshine did them good)
and clean up a bit around the house. Start my last load of
laundry (though none of it is put away) and head upstairs
for an early bedtime!

Thanks for hanging in with me during this week! :)
