Last night we had dinner with CC, Derek the kids and the Rangels! So fun and the kids were sooooo good!! We arrived at 6pm and left around 8:30 which is def past all of their bedtimes and we didn't have a problem once. You'd think 4 kids in the restaurant atleast one will cause a problem and not one did... I love that my kids are so well behaved and especially in public :)
Today was the day I finally got to sleep in...no 6am alarm and guess what I was wide freaking awake at 6am! ahhh I was going crazy...tossing and turning to go back to sleep. My only day of the entire week where I don't have to wake up to an alarm and I'm up. Finally I went back to sleep and the kids slept in too so we all woke up nice and refreshed!
Took advantage of not having to be anywhere today and Chloe helped me make pancakes or as she likes to call them pannycakes lol
Finally got everything out of the house that we had on the donate pile, packed the trunk and backseat of the call full and dropped it all off at Goodwill. Then came home, Sean and I took advantage of Liam napping and the 60 degree January day :) and spent it in the front yard cleaning, blowing and raking leaves. It was a huge transformation and def helps with the curb appeal haha...I can't believe it was 60 outside today...we opened some of the windows too which was amazing because if we were back home in NY or PA we'd a couple feet of snow on the ground. Tomorrow is looking to be the same way so after church we are planning on heading to Pope park and letting the kids enjoy the outdoors :)
Tonight me and my bestest had a date night :) Chrisann moved to Missouri about a year and a half ago and it sucks not having her here but since they have been here for almost the entire month of Jan and leave this coming week we had to get in some "ME" time together. Sean and Derek stayed at our house with the kids and we went out for dinner and pedicures :) It was great! I love my kids but I def needed some time out without them. The last time I had a pedicure without Chloe in my lap was before she was born so were going on 4 and a half years lol and the last time this momma has done anything without her kids...hmmm I can't even remember that far back haha. I can def say that I am slightly jealous of those people that are able to have family that live close by or a really good friend or sitter that will take your kids for you from time to time. Being a mommy is the greatest job in the world, and by far the most rewarding. I absolutely LOVE being Chloe and Liam's momma! However, it also the most on-call, exhausting, time consuming, on your feet, mind going a mile a minute, job that never, ever ends!! and I don't think there is any momma out there that wouldn't agree!!
I really look forward to moving close to our family so that we can have some time here and there to ourselves. I def am not the type of person to push my kids off on others as you can tell but I'd like a date night here an there. Date nights have been non-existent for us unless you count the nights when can get the kids to sleep without a fight and are able to stay up and watch a movie together, which we usually fall asleep during.

ohhh and since I went out would you believe that I was gone for 2 hours tonight and my son walked on his own, across the room. From the couch to the tv stand he walked!! OMG I couldnt believe it when Sean told me and Derek was there chimming in yeah he did, he really did.
That little stinker!!
That little stinker!!
Liam took his first steps awhile back and has been doing more and more, 4 steps here 5 steps then 6 but walking across the room and I missed it! oh my! I was a little sad. but so excited! I can't wait to see what he does and learns next!
Well it's bedtime for me. I was going to post pictures of the house all nice but I can't find my camera to upload and its getting late so until next time....hope everyone has a great rest of the weekend!
