New Puzzles, New Way to track behavior ;0), Playground time with Daddy, and WOW Mom got to finally have half a day by herself and a full 1.5 hour nap!

We had a busy weekend !!
Friday :
I met up with Jessica's Mom to take a walk with the four kids!! It was a very interesting walk.. We walked a route that I have not walked in a long time, so it was a bit harder than I remembered. We did 4.5 miles and 90% was Uphill!! I am lucky if Jessica's Mom ever talks to me again. :0) LOL Then the rest of the day was spent cleaning and resting!!

Saturday:
I finally was able to have a half of a day to myself, I took a beautiful hike with one of my best childhood friends, It was so good to have some time to myself. I woke up and left the chaos in Jon's hands!! LOL hehhee God did that feel good. After running a bunch of errands, I came home to the kids napping. A little shocked, but then I realized that nothing is perfect because I had to spend the rest of the day cleaning up from the morning of not being there. I guess  men non-multitaskers cannot do everything we can!! ;0)
I did however get chance to get lily some new puzzles and a puzzle rack!! She was very thankful.

Then Jon non-multitasker Got Lily some new Books, she was very excited about that too.
Lastly for Saturday I gave lily a new chart that I was able to find that she is so taken with ... It is a responsibility chart that includes A daily calender, and magnets. Everyday she gets to put a rewarding magnet next to the job/chore/daily activity that she completes with success. IT is all she can talk about. SO I am using it to my advantage. IF she gets a magnet for every Goal, then at the end of the week she will get a treat. It was an amazing find!!
Sunday:
Today was good also. The kids and I went to watch Daddy play Softball this morning! It looked like rain so Lily wanted me to wear my rain boots because she wore hers. I told her that she could wear hers, but I would wait until it was actually raining...LOL

We then came home to naps!! Daddy escape artist Had to go to work for a bit so we came home and waited so that we could go to the playground!!
The playground in Ridgefield is Awesome!! The Kids had a great time! So overall it was a wonderful weekend. We definitely had more family time, something we have not had in a long time. Please check out my other blog for more pictures. www.picturesmeltambo.blogspot.com
