Our Week In Review...

I'm going to be honest that I did NOT take many pictures this week-just kept forgetting to pull out the camera. We did, though, have an AWESOME week!

On Monday, we headed to our weekly music class. It's adorable and engaging-perfect for both of my boys:) It was a beautiful day, so a few of us moms headed to a park for the rest of the morning to get these kids out in the sunshine. And my boys LOVE the park!!!! After naps, we just chilled around the house enjoying some crafts and lots of playtime in the basement. After baths, the boys were digging through their books while I was working on getting us ready for our road trip on Tuesday!

Aiden headed to school on Tuesday morning while Andrew took a quick nap before we took a short errand run to AC Moore to pick up some Valentine supplies and a big frame for an awesome James Ruff print! After we picked Aiden up, we had a quick lunch and started on our way to Connecticut to see some of our friends!!!! I was hoping the boys would nap the whole time (about 1.5-2 hours), but they didn't fall asleep until we arrived in Connecticut (over halfway!). We finally made it to Connecticut to my friend Cassi's house where we were surrounded by trees and countryside:) She took us to this amazing self serve frozen yogurt place:) And then we headed back to their house for lots of playtime, delicious homemade pot roast, and an 1000 piece puzzle completed in ONE night!!! Thanks Cassi for being an awesome hostess...you will see us again:)

Thankfully, the kids did sleep through the night and we headed bright and early to Fairfield, CT where we used to live! We met a group of friend's at our old neighbor/dear friend's (Aamie) house to watch about 10 kids play, play, play while the moms caught up on life!!!! So much fun:)
At 1:45, Andrew was getting towards meltdown mode, so I loaded the boys into the car and back to NJ we headed. Both boys were asleep before we even made it on the highway! About two hours later, we arrived home and had a low-key evening around the house watching some television, unpacking, and heading to bed early!

Aiden had another preschool day on Thursday...Andrew took another morning nap (after being completely exhausted from the trip) before we headed to our morning playgroup. It was a beautiful day so I dragged the kids to the park in the afternoon for some major playtime!

When we arrived home, we had to work on some valentines for someone special! So we did a little finger pudding paint and this one was a little unsure of putting his hands in that goop...
While this one had more fun eating it...
Daddy surprised us on Friday by choosing to work from home!!!!!!!! We haven't seem him all week, thanks to busy season, so someone was very excited for his Daddy to be home and wanted to work right next to him:)
Thank goodness for Chris, we didn't stay home all day (or he may have never got anything done!). Aiden had a follow-up doctor appointment in the morning which went well before we headed to the grocery store. Dunkin Donuts+Car Cart=Two Happy Boys while I'm Rushing the Aisles to Get Groceries! We were very excited to have Chris home for dinner, even if it was just a frozen pizza!!!!

Who is this James Ruff guy? Call me Jim, Dad, Grandpa or Hey You. Just don't call me James, Old or "Late for Supper"!
