Family Time

Today started out slow. To save my sanity I took the kiddos grocery shopping before lunch for the free cookie and some time outside the house. They were actually pretty good and had a few funny conversations with some of the Gramma's we met at the store. As we made our way down the cereal aisle Camilla spotted a yellow sale tag, "Mom! Fruitloops are on sale!" Hyrum chimed in, "I LOVE loopies!" It made me laugh, how could I resist? After we got home we even had a bowl for lunch. I managed to get all of the littles to nap around 1:00PM and squeezed in a much needed rest for myself. Everyone woke up so happy. It's been so nice to feel the increase of love in our home this week and to watch the littles get along so well together.

Around dinner time I was feeling spontaneous. We picked Daddy up from work and went for some family time at Red Robins. It was nice to get dressed up a bit (and by that I mean my hair actually got done and I may have ditched my glasses for contacts). The kids were excited to get out of the house and eat out!

 I could have snapped pictures of Joseph the whole time we were there. He's such a ham!

 He loved sitting by his Daddy for the evening!

 I got to snuggle my munchkins on the booth side of the table. I started out sitting between them, but they love each other too much.

After dinner there was some snuggling on the spacious bench.

  And at the end of the meal they hardly even ate their ice cream because they wanted their helium balloon so badly. Poor Camilla had terrible luck with her balloon. We tied it tight to her wrist before exiting the building but when she was lifted into her seat the balloon popped off the end of her string and flew away. Daddy went in and grabbed her another one. Just as we exited the parking lot, the second balloon popped and our little lady burst into tears. Thankfully her brother let her hold his once we were home.
