It's Sunday and we are all well. No fevers. No vomit. No runny noses. Just three healthy kiddies. Thank the LORD.
I celebrated my family's spectacular health last night with time out with the girls, Christine, Cy, and Danielle. We broke in the new Melting Pot (melted cheese! melted chocolate! Hoohaa!) and did a little retail therapy. (I think we all bought the same sweater in four different sizes. Let's just pretend that I was the XS instead of the XL. But, they were on clearance - hurray!)
Chris and I conquered Wegmans with the boys this morning. I have to admit, it was nice to have Chris along for the grocery shopping excursion. I tend to do most of the grocery shopping for our family and most of this shopping is done with my three kiddies in tow. It's not easy to shop with the boys, but I have gotten to the point where my insanity has become the norm. Thus, nothing really fazes me. Chris, on the other hand, makes an odd grocery trip here and there, but always sans children.
I could tell by the time we reached the check out line Chris had enough. As we unloaded the cart (and the boys fought over who got to rearrange the boxes of chocolate bars on display), Chris turned to me and said, "Just so you know, from here on in, you get a free pass everytime and anytime you want to come to Wegmans without kids. As far as I'm concerned, you should never have to come to Wegmans with the kids again. Because I don't know how you do this."
Yes, the heavens did open up and shine light upon my happy face. There is nothing like hearing your husband admit the stuff you do as a mom is tough.
We ended our Sunday with dinner at our friends' Christine and Dylan's. The kiddies played dress up and got Brennan dolled up in quite the happenin' pink feather boa. He rocked the pink and the feathers, tossed the boa over his shoulder and said to me, "The girls and me are goin' to lunch, Mom." Poor Aidan had to make do with a leftover scraggly mini blue boa. It didn't have quite the same effect.
Happy, healthy weekend. Joy, joy indeed.
