Friday was a lazy day for the kids and I while Brandon was at work. I did some catching up around the house with laundry and cleaning. Brandon got off work semi early and was home around 3. Henry got up from his nap around 330 and we all got ready to head out. We needed to go back to the mall and go to Sears. The tree we bought last weekend was on sale even further this past Monday and Sears does a price match we just needed to bring in the receipt. So we did that as well as roam the mall some. I found the most adorable sweater vest for Henry for Christmas at Belk. Its from J Kahki and its forrest green with a holiday train appliqued. And it was 55% off so not a bad deal. Plus its not overly Christmas so he can wear it throughout the winter season. He will look so cute in it with his kaki cords and white button up shirt underneath :) P has two cute Christmas dresses also from J Kahki that she received last year for Christmas that still fit as well as a Rosalina smocked dress. Francis Scott has a few adorable Christmas outfits to wear as well. It was soon time to head to Old Chicago to meet a whole group from Brandon's work. Two of the Chief Warrant Officers and the 1SG and their families as well as us all met up for dinner. A total of 15 with all the kids! Thankfully the waiting wasn't too terrible.. we were seated at 630ish. It was a lot of fun and the food was yummy as always! The kids were very well behaved which made it more enjoyable. Henry did really good thanks in part to his long nap as well as I bought him and P a new little toy while we were at the mall to keep them occupy. Henry got a truck and he played with it for a good portion of dinner. All in all, it was a nice time :) We left there a little after 8 and headed home. We got the kids ready for bed and both were in bed shortly after 9. Brandon and I weren't too far behind them!
Saturday morning, the munchkins slept in a little.. both were up around 740. I got up with them and let Brandon sleep in a bit more since he had gotten up every morning this week at 4. I made cinnamon rolls for breakfast. We relaxed some then outside to enjoy some play time as well as do some chores around here. Brandon finished up some of the Christmas decorating outside while P and Henry played out front. I did some checking off the list in the baby department. I brought the bouncer, bath tub, and play mat down from the attic. I cleaned up all 3 and put them upstairs for now. I also washed up another load of baby clothes. So everything is ready for him to wear even down to his socks, bibs, and hats. I still have one more load to do with his bassinet bedding and some blankets. We had some leftover pizza for lunch. I cleaned up the kitchen. Henry and P watched a show on Netflix before Henry's nap time. While he laid down, P played up in her room, Brandon watched some football and I read my book. Way to go SC Gamecocks on another win this week! Only a few more weeks left of football season then the Bowl games begin! I also finally got ready for the day while Henry was napping. Some days it takes me longer than others, ha! That afternoon we headed over to the Battalion XO's house, MAJ Mitchell. He hosted a Battalion XO get together. We had a great time over there. Luckily, we all but one couple have kids so there were lots of little friends for P and Henry to play with. Plus the Mitchells had a bonus room for them to play in as well as a backyard full of activities. There was lots of yummy food too! The guys had plenty of football to watch and the ladies chatted. It was a nice affair! We left after 7 and came home to get the kids ready for bed. Another later than usual night for them but luckily they sleep in and adjust well. Brandon and I watched some college football. And oh my what a weekend for it! There were definitely some good games to watch :)
Sunday morning Henry woke me up around 730 and the weather was already dreary and rainy. It was a slow morning for us. We decided to go out for lunch and do some roaming in town. We ended up at Cracker Barrel but because it was Sunday we wait almost 40 minutes for our table. Our meal was good and we enjoyed it but it did take almost 2 hours out of the day. Next stop was Walmart. I needed to pick up some more wrapping paper and supplies so I could finish up the kids' presents. We walked around the store a bit then headed back home. Henry was getting tired and the weather wasn't getting any better. He was asleep before we even made it home and finished his nap at the house. Brandon put the bassinet together and I did up another load of baby's laundry. I believe we are now officially ready for his arrival :) After nap was over, the weather finally cleared up some (at least for a little while) and we decided to take advantage of it and took a walk around the neighborhood then the kids played in the garage some before dinner. We just ate leftovers since we had a big lunch out. P and Henry went upstairs to play in their rooms while I cleaned up the kitchen area. I read a few stories before giving them both their bath and getting them ready for bed. They watched one show on Netflix and Henry was in bed by 8 with Peighton not too far after that. I wrapped up some more Christmas presents while we watched football. Another weekend came and went but it was productive and fun and we enjoyed ourselves! Looking forward to the holiday week ahead :)
