We had a pretty nice weekend. Saturday morning we took the boys to Lowes and then tried to do naps but we were unsuccessful. At 2 we headed over to some friends for their little girl's 2nd birthday pool party. The boys love swimming and had a great time. Sunday morning I went to church alone to give Gabe a break from watching the boys during Mass. Father gave a great homily for the feast of Corpus Christi about the real presence of Christ in the Eucharist. It really made me stop and think about it, and it's so amazing! We did a short procession outside before Mass while Father carried the monstrance. After Mass I picked up burgers for Gabe and I to have for lunch and we watched a movie while the boys napped. We did some errands when the boys woke up and then I dropped Gabe, Elias and Aidan off for evening Mass and Kieran and I went shopping. Afterwards, we went out to dinner at a new to us Mexican restaurant. The food was great and it was so cutely decorated inside! We are really happy to have finally found a good Mexican restaurant to eat at. They made fresh lemonade which was delicious too.
Yesterday morning and this morning I went to the gym. I'm trying to get back into my morning gym routine. My body is just so physically exhausted after my workouts though. I know I'm really out of shape, but it really makes me feel so much better to get some physical exercise in the mornings. Yesterday was a hard day for me. I was so tired from the gym and I tried to take the boys to Sam's Club. It was a nightmare. First off, Kieran doesn't like riding in the car for some reason unless we are holding onto his leg and he will scream and scream. When we got to Sams he started throwing a HUGE tantrum. He didn't even calm down when I held him. When I put him down on the ground, he ran away from me. Needless to say, I was getting lots of stares and "oh poor baby, what's wrong with him?" comments. Thankfully I was very calm during his whole episode and continued with my shopping. After finally checking out and getting in the car I realized that I had forgotten to pick up a few things and that is why I am going back today. I also didn't make it to Publix which is a much needed visit. The boys took poor naps in the afternoon and I was just about in tears by the evening. But as soon as hubby came home and gave the boys some attention, everyone calmed down and we had a nice dinner and rest of the evening.
I am excited for the boys' swim lesson tomorrow! They will be doing a 1/2 hour lesson together and we're going to see how that goes. The swim teacher was trying to push me to do lessons twice weekly, but I think once will be enough for them and all we can really afford. Aidan is such a little fish in the water and I know he will enjoy the challenge and lessons. Hopefully Elias will follow suit.
We have a busy weekend ahead. Saturday we are heading to a friends for the afternoon and an early 4th celebration. Sunday after I play for Mass we are driving down to my Uncle's in Sarasota to celebrate the 4th and will return Tuesday morning. It will be nice to get away for a bit. I think Gabe will enjoy having an extra day off. He has been very busy preparing for his qualifying exam which is July 22nd. Speaking of July, I can't believe we only have two more days left in June! Crazy crazy.
I am finally starting to feel the effects of being in the third trimester. I have started to get more restless off and on and tired and uncomfortable. I think having the three boys to take care of has also made it a bit more difficult for me. I am looking forward to the end, and hope the next few months will pass by quickly.
Well, I'm off to finish my grocery list and clean up some poop-y clothes. Ahh....the joys of motherhood. :)
