I talked to Lu about the best way I could help and we decided it was to keep adventuring with the boys, so on Monday we headed to Poinsett State Park.
We drove to an overlook that was really just a secluded grassy area, so I walked laps while the boys explored, only Carter kept getting nervous that I was walking the perimeter, so he would trail behind me and chat. ❤️
It was cold cold that day, but were a tough crew. They collected rock/diamonds and ran around.
When that got old we drove down to the lake and played at the playground, then walked the lake.
It’s super pretty and peaceful.
I sat on an Adirondack chair and became one with nature. Not really, but being outside, especially near water really is good for my soul.
The boys played make believe and then started throwing rocks and sand into the lake. We were going to go to McDonald’s after, but they were having so much fun they wanted to keep hanging out.
And then… disaster. Emmett got too close and also too excited and with his momentum, hopped right into the cold water. He was v v sad. Also sad when we couldn’t go to McDonald’s like we planned, but plan b, McDonald’s the next day.
Home to this side-eye cutie.
He gives the best stink eye!
The cheeks and the chins!
Anyways, it snowed that night! I had really hoped to escape the cold, but nooooo. Anyways, I made good on my promise and we hit McDonald’s for our Tuesday adventure.
Carter cracks me up! He could be a competitive eater, he’s fast and he loves food!
This little sweetie smiled it while we were gone. After McD’s, after 3 tries we found a park. Park #1 was being renovated. Park #2 was Patriot Park again, only the gate was locked. I called the Parks and Rec number and she didn’t know why it hadn’t been opened, but did confirm that if the gate was locked, the playground was off limits. Anyways, I forgot to bring gloves and it was so cold that we only lasted about an hour.
That night Henry and I sent mom and dad to bed early and we cuddled.
I used to love the weekends when Matt would keep the baby for a few hours and let me get to sleep early, so I was excited to stay up with Henners.
Around 11 he started getting hungry but was ok if I rocked him and/or gave him his binky. I kept him till midnight. I probably could have kept him happy longer, but I was driving the next day and Mimi time does not include many breaks, so I was pretty tired.
We got our last cuddles Wednesday morning and gave our last hugs before I headed out.
It was a super easy drive.
So glad I was able to spend time with lexi’s cute family. She’s such a good little mommy and is so fun to hang out with. Adult kid love. ❤️
