Weekend Adventure
Monday, December 7th, 2015From Monday Mom – Neetika:
I had a very fun but very tiring weekend. My family decided to take a road trip and spend the night in Providence, Rhode Island. I had never been there before—what a cute city!
We left first thing in the morning on Saturday and arrived in time to have an early lunch at a very kid-friendly restaurant. My brother lives in New England, so he drove in to meet us, which thrilled the kids. We did some shopping, but Haley completely freaked out when we told her it was time to meet Santa. Oh well! I don’t know if we’ll get a picture this year. For the first time, it sort of occurred to met what a strange ritual it is to make crying children sit on the lap of a strange old man and take pictures. Which is not to say I will stop doing it!
The highlight of the weekend for Haley may have swimming in the pool and even lounging in the hot tub! Hudson had fun, too, but unfortunately was battling a cold. Between his cough and the unfamiliar crib, he had a rough night. But he hung in there like the trooper he is.
Now it’s back to the grind of a busy week. There’s so much going on between now and the end of the year. No rest for the weary! Such is the life of Mom. Hopefully I’ll be able to rest in January.
