This is what it's all about

We're closing the chapter on the best weekend ever! It's just like everything went right - you know what I mean?

Here's a brief recap:

• Went out after work with some friends on Friday for a few drinks.
• Slept in until 6:45 Saturday morning (THANKS CONNOR!)
• Did laundry Saturday morning, played with the kids on the floor, finally took a shower around 10am, while Connor took a 2 hour nap.
• Went to the grocery store with Connor, a.k.a., the best baby in the world. He just sat there and smiled at me throughout the store. Read the labels to everything I bought. I'll post again later about that.
• Came home and fixed dinner with Kyle. Connor sat in his highchair and ate forever, while Tyler played quietly with his toys in the living room.
• Got in bed at 9pm, fell asleep sometime before 10. Woke up and hour later - TV still on and my glasses on.
• Got to sleep in until 6:20. (YOU'RE A STUD CONNOR!)
• Played with the kids.
• Ran on the treadmill - yes RAN - about 1.5 miles. My body is still in shock at this attempt of fitness!
• Took a shower around 11am
• Got ready, and went shopping.

Okay - here's where I have to pause. I went shopping. BY MYSELF!!!!!! Kyle went to the casino last night with a friend, which was totally okay with me because I was beyond exhausted. So, I got to spend some time today shopping - so I headed to the Outlet Mall.

(Insert "Halleluiah Chorus" here)

It was awesome!!! It was one of those shopping days where everywhere you turned, you found good deals, and stuff that you liked, and actually FIT! I only went into half the stores that I wanted because I had spent enough already. I finished up with 3 purses, a pair of shoes, and a couple of outfits. How can you go wrong - in one store I got 3 sweaters for $16!!!! Then I headed home, to a quiet house - both boys were napping. I unpacked my treasures, and Connor woke up. Now I sit on the floor next to hime, while he is playing with his toys - and he keeps smiling at me. He's too cute!

I swear our family it totally reformed because of the Feingold Program we have Tyler on. He's a completely different kid. Where I used to almost have anxiety attacks thinking of the impending doom that was about to happen to us on the weekend, I now look forward to them. Tyler is relaxed, happy, patient and kind. I never realized just how much tension he was creating in our family because of his behavior. I'm definitely a believer.

So this is what a family is all about!
