I don't know what it was about this week, but everyone was a little ornerier than normal. The kids fought more with each other, Kylie and Hayden didn't listen to me at all, and my patience was near zero practically all week.
It was slightly cooler this week (90's! 80's!), so we took lots of walks in the mornings, and played outside and rode bikes in the evenings.
There was also a smattering of swimming, park playing, story time participation, rock climbing, and errand running with the family. So, despite our grumpy demeanors, we still tried to have fun! (Or, really, I tried to not be a massive downer and made it my priority to get the kids out of the house...)
There was a point where I got mad at Hayden because he broke Kylie's favorite necklace, and when I wouldn't hold him he went and got a towel (the closest blanket-like thing), and curled up on the little tramp. It was super cute and melted my heart! It also concerned the cat...
Now with the start of a new week hopefully we can all change our attitudes, become a little more helpful toward each other, and a little more obedient. :)
Rough weeks make us appreciate the good ones. I sure love those darling kids!
