Our weekend started off a little crazy. Matt was in Chicago for work & didn't get home until 5:30/6:00 pm. That's nothing new really... he usually gets home from work around that time when he isn't traveling...but, I sure did wish he was home to help when everything went down here!
Around lunch time on Friday Parker came to me complaining his head and eyes were "going in circles". He actually was crying in pain shortly after, so I became a little concerned & wanted to get him checked out. My mom usually is around to help me if I need her, but Fridays she runs errands & meets my dad for lunch ( they are the cutest), so she was already out and about by the time I called her.
Luckily, my sister was home so I dropped Peyton & Arie off so I could run Parker up to the urgent care in town. The doctor couldn't do much for him, just mentioned it could be cluster headaches & suggested I make an eye doctor appt & peds appt for him. We left to scoop up the kids at my sisters & as soon as we got into the car, he started screaming in pain that it was worse. I got to the end of the driveway & he started throwing up... all...over....my...car.
My mom was home then so I ran into her house to get Parker cleaned up. We headed home & he seemed pretty good! Playing & eating.. acting normal. Matt got home (& thankfully cleaned out my car for me) & we went back to my parents for dinner. As soon as we got into the house, he immediately said the lights hurt his eyes and ran into the bathroom to throw up. ugh. I'm thinking he is starting with migraines. Poor baby. We packed up the kids & went straight home. He laid on the couch and fell asleep... all of us followed shortly after. It was a long day!

We woke up & Parker was back to 100%. Thank goodness. We had a slow morning but we all got ready for the day & ran out to Walmart to get a few things & went to get pizza for lunch on our way back home. Arie had his first "finger food" & loved it (big shocker there!) Once we got home we relaxed for bit before we got back into the car to go to mass at 4:30. After church, we usually go to see my nana (Gia) with my parents & my sister + her little family. We've done this for as long as I can remember, & the kids love it (& so does my nana). We came home & Matt made steaks for supper, the kids went to bed semi early, & we ended the night playing cards & scrabble. Nights like those are my favorite.

we lost an hour...which is rough on all parents, but the kids really don't seem to mind, of course! Matt actually was supposed to leave for a work trip for the week, but it was cancelled because of the coronavirus. So happy we are able to keep him with us this week!!!
Everyone got ready for the day & Matt took the kids for a walk & to our local convenience store while I stayed back with Arie while he napped. Once he woke up, we ate lunch & went out for a walk. Going on walks is one of our favorite things to do together.. it always has been. The weather was gorgeous for March. Matt, Parker & Peyton ran back to the house to grab their baseball gear & the car so they could head down to my families t-ball field. Arie was sleeping in the stroller, so we walked down and met them at the field.
Our friends who have two kids around the twins age were there playing baseball too, so they were super excited to play with them! While the dads coached the kids, his wife & I got to catch up with each other. I haven't had "girl" time in a while, so it was nice!! We went to their place after for a bit & they offered to keep the twins so they could stay and play with the kids a bit longer while Matt, Arie & I ran to Lowes to get a new grill! I was dying to have burgers on the grill & since we tossed our old one, we needed to get a new one! While we waited for the grill, we stocked up on some garden necessities. This is my favorite time of year... we have a huge garden bed that goes along the back fence. I love it!
We had burgers, baked beans & macaroni salad for supper.....the twins of course has ice cream for dessert! Their favorite!! We went up to bed shortly after...boys fell asleep pretty quickly, which gave Matt & I the chance to watch watch the Walking Dead until 10. It was a long, but really nice weekend together. These are the weekends I L I V E for! Family, nice weather, good food..... doesn't really get much better than that :)
