Weekending

We had a pretty eventful weekend, but more on that later. It has been extremely smokey here, which has kept us inside. I am soooo hoping all these wildfires are put out soon and no more start up. Ugh. But onto our weekend.

Friday after work, I hit the gym and then grabbed some lunch. I went to Sprouts to get some snacks for the beach the next day and then headed home. We went to pick up the girls and then came home. I noticed how badly the girls needed their haircut, so I took them to a kids haircut place and they got to pick out a style and color for their hair after.

After haircuts, we went home and made the girls dinner and then picked up Indian food for Rory and I. We wanted to try a new place that was close to us and it ended up being really good. Plus the girls liked some of it too. We put the girls to bed and Rory took Walter for a walk. I caught up on some of my shows before calling it an early night.

Saturday morning we got up and headed out to the beach early. But once we got into Tahoe, the traffic backed up and we had over 3 miles to go to get into the beach and we didn't think it was going to happen. The girls were really upset, but we had to turn around and drive home. We quickly drove home, changed and took the girls to the trampoline park instead. We jumped for an hour and had a blast.

After jumping, the girls were hungry, so we went to In N Out. On the way inside, Sutton took off running for Rory and ran right into the door. She fell down and I ran to grab her. She immediately had a huge bump and sat on my lap for lunch.

After lunch, we headed home for naps. But we wanted to make sure she was ok first. We gave the girls a bath and kept an eye on her before putting them down for a nap. She only napped for an hour.

After the girls got up, we played, and then bbq'd some sausages and peppers and saute'd some onions for dinner. The girls LOVED it.

Then we got ready and headed to the Dragon Lights Festival that has been going on in our city for the last month. The exhibit is only open for another week, so we went Saturday night. The smoke was still in the air, but it wasn't too bad that evening.

We arrived for the 7 pm showing and walked around for awhile. The lights were not to come on until 8 pm, so we walked, took pictures, and then went to this area where people were making things. We stopped at this guy who was drawing names with pictures. We watched him for awhile and then decided to get the girls their names done.

After we got our picture, we headed back up to the front since the lights were about to come on. At 8 pm, they came on and we walked back through the exhibit again.

Right after we took the last picture, Avery says that Sutton has something on her mouth. I look down at her hands (she was holding onto the stroller and walking next to me) and see blood. Then I look at her face and see blood. She had a bad bloody nose. We stopped and I went up to a vendor for paper towels and a water. Then two nice women (one of the vendors) and another fellow mom (I think she was a nurse) came up to Sutton and helped us control the bleeding and helped us clean her up). Her nose bled for about 5 to 10 minutes. At one point when I removed the wipe, she tilted her head forward and it gushed blood. After we got the bloody nose under control, she was super sad about messing up her dress. Ha. We thanked the two ladies who helped us and then we made our way towards the exit.

We left just around 8:45 which is way past the girls bedtime. Sutton drank a bunch of water to make sure she was hydrated and then we cleaned her up even more when we got home and put the girls to bed. After they were asleep, we had a glass of scotch and went to bed. But we made sure to check on the girls before going to sleep.

Sunday morning we got up and made bacon, eggs and toast with coffee. Then we got ready and headed out to Target and Petco for a few things. We came home and had leftovers for lunch and then put the girls down for a nap. While they napped, I went to the grocery store. I came home and we watched some golf until the girls woke up. They napped for over two hours.

Then we did some cleaning around the house while the girls played. The girls helped with some yard work outside and played on their scooters while I made dinner. We had stuffed shells and caprese salad for dinner, then bath time, stories and the girls normal routine. We put them down and then tried to relax. Avery had a hard time going down last night, but they were finally out around 8:30. We went to bed early since it had been a long, but mostly good weekend.

How was your weekend?

Sorry this post is coming so late....my computer wouldn't download the pictures from my phone.
