First, let me just say how nice it was to finally have Kyle home for at least one full day this weekend! His schedule changed and he was able to come home early afternoon on Saturday and was off all day yesterday. It was really nice.
It was overall a really productive weekend which I will never complain about. Saturday morning we headed off to H&R Block to have our taxes done, it's always such a relief when that is done. One less thing that we have to worry about. It's going to be nice to apply this refund as a principle payment on my car loan.
E is finally warming up to the idea of eating actual food (well baby food), we started out with rice cereal and she wasn't a fan. We moved onto oatmeal a few days ago and boy does she enjoy it. We have tried a few vegetables as well but nothing has seemed to be a favorite of hers yet. I'm going to take my sisters advice and just make my own baby food that way I can experiment with different things. She has been really happy the last few days, I attribute that to her tummy feeling fuller.
That night we went out to dinner, even though Kyle isn't home during the week for dinner I still cook so he can have the leftovers the next day. It was nice to have someone else cook for me haha.
Sunday, we spent the morning getting rid of stuff in the garage (oh after he went out and got donuts, love that guy!!). It really is amazing how much nonsense you accumulate over time. Especially stuff that you convince yourself that you will use and then it sits in a box for months on end. We both have a hard time getting rid of things but we knew we had to. We moved on to the office closet and we got rid of even more stuff. I feel so much better now!
In my last post I talked about the events I'm running at Disneyland, my sister had planned to come with me to cheer me on. But now she has decided to run with me! I am stoked!!!! Our costumes tie in together and they are awesome. This trip just got even better. Speaking of running, I went out for my first run yesterday since injuring my back. It wasn't perfect but it felt good. I'll be back where I want to be in no time.
I hope you all had a great weekend!
She is just adorable!
ReplyDeleteI love getting rid of stuff but my husband likes to hold onto things forever. It feels so good to declutter!
Aww thanks!! It really does feel good to declutter, it's so freeing!
DeleteMy kids never went for the rice cereal either. I think I gave up after the second! I made my own baby food too, and I thought it was so fun! And it lasted so much longer.
ReplyDeleteSounds like a good weekend - yay for big payments on cars! I need to organize so many rooms, but it feels so overwhelming.
ReplyDeleteSounds likea really productive weekened. Super cute pick of Em!
ReplyDeleteHow fun that you'll get to experience that with your sister! Also, good for you guys getting a head start on PCS cleaning out.
ReplyDeleteGlad you got to spend some time with Kyle this weekend! I always love going out to eat too. Matt cooks on Saturday nights and it is my favorite night of the week. There's nothing like not having to prepare dinner! :)
ReplyDeleteMy husband's been working a lot of weekends, mainly by his own choice, but he took this weekend off and it was so nice to spend some time together! I cannot wait to have our taxes done. Last year we got a big refund and I'm crossing my fingers that we get another one this year.
ReplyDeleteYay for tax refunds! I can't believe Emmy is eating actual food!!! How is that possible?!?! It seems like just yesterday she was a newborn!
ReplyDeleteI love that your sister is going to run with you - I can't wait to see your costumes!
ReplyDeleteGetting rid of stuff is a hard process but the feeling at the end makes it all worth it! Miss E is too cute!
ReplyDeleteSo...this post just reminds me of everything I need to do!! LOL Taxes, clean out my garage, make dinner :)
ReplyDeleteWe've not got our taxes done yet. Phil does it and waits til later sometimes. I did some purging this weekend and Megan couldn't believe how full the paper recycle bag was. I just emptied it, she says! Well I just got rid of stuff, I said!! Did an hour purge..timed myself and got alot done. Glad Em is enjoying eating soft foods. Oh the fun begins. Glad you had a good run and hope you are up and all better soon! Hugs!
ReplyDeleteIt's so nice to get rid of things you don't need. I love it!
DeleteYay! This post is full of goodness! Girl, can you cook up some more so I can have the leftovers too? Hehe I feel like I spent all of yesterday cooking/meal prepping. Sigh. I'd rather eat a donut! Hehe Ooh, that'll be fun to run with your sister!!
ReplyDeleteGetting admin done and decluttering is such a satisfying feeling! I'm glad you enjoyed some time off with Kyle :)
ReplyDeleteI'm so glad that you had some time with Kyle at home! It really is hard when he's working a crazy schedule I'm sure. And that's so awesome that your sister is going to run with you at Disney! Y'all are going to have such a fun time, and I can't wait to see your costumes!
ReplyDeleteIf you're lucky she wont' be too picky about food in a few years
ReplyDeleteI have found my kids love the fruit the best. Once they got used to eating that, I mix in the oatmeal. Also fun, those squeeze fruit pouches. I also just moved from turbo tax to H&R Block and the refund was $500 more!
ReplyDeleteI'm really glad you are feeling better! We make our own baby food for the most part. The jar stuff just seemed to taste gross to me so I'm sure they tasted gross the the babies as well.
