WOW! Talk about making me feel appreciated and loved! After some thought, I decided on 1) Ben to come home from work on time that day and make sure to hug & kiss me FIRST, 2) have a technology-free weekend (i.e. No computer, iPad, iPod, etc), and 3) Have help cooking & cleaning up after meals all weekend.
Well #1 was checked off the list as soon as Ben walked in the door around 6pm that evening. That was an easy one :).
As for the tech-free weekend, that was the hardest but absolutely the best! You don't realize how much you depend on the Internet - not just for email & FB but for weather forecasts, tv guides, banking, DVD rental, everything! And I been the iPad genie during nursing sessions so it felt so strange not to be surfing the web 8 times a day. But we talked more, played more, laughed more, read more and got a whole lot more done. It was so refreshing to be unplugged!
As for the help in the kitchen, this kinda got pushed to the side because with a newborn & a crazy toddler, sometimes it's easier to send Daddy outside with Jackson to play while I cooked & cleaned up in peace!
All in all, we had a fabulous weekend just having fun as a family! Friday night we went on a Flashlight Adventure after supper.
Saturday morning, we got up and went to yard sales. By 8:30 am. Yes, all 4 of us. And yes, Ben went willingly and was even excited about it! (I know what your thinking - we can hit up yard sales by 8:30am but are ALWAYS late for church at 9:15!)
That afternoon we played outside and I perfected the art of swinging with two babies in my arms.
Saturday night was movie night with lots of popcorn.
And Sunday was full of church, naps and sweet brother lovin'.
