5 reasons why this weekend was awesome. 5 reasons why this weekend wasn’t.
looking back at the weekend, i can find a lot of moments that i really loved and a lot of really terrible moments, too. (of course, i know many people had terrible moments far more terrible than these, but i thought i’d still share some of the best and worst moments from my weekend below…)
terrible moments including one ridiculously stupid argument with josh that went down between 77th and 78th on columbus avenue last night…. a couple of frustrating hours in the apple store saturday afternoon trying to fix my iPhone that has been busted all week when all conrad wanted to do was desperately nurse and nap and not be at the freaking apple store…. walking all the way to a particular playground quite a ways from our apartment with the little ones to find it was closed (CLOSED?! and then having to explain that to the kids)….. forgetting to put a slip on under my dress on sunday and not realizing until i’m at church which meant just trying to get through the entire ordeal without making much eye contact with anyone and awkwardly placing conrad’s blanket on my lap like, the entire time…..also, running out of all the chocolate chip bagels i brought to the city from utah last week (i gave a lot of them away to girlfriends but still thought i had a decent stock pile for myself that would last me longer than 2 days).
i’m not one to let the bad moments outweigh any of the good though, and there were a lot of good moments, too. like when i ordered and finished off a half dozen cookies from insomnia cookies to get myself through a late night work session (honestly they taste terrible but when they are warm and it’s after midnight, who even cares. i’ll eat them all in one sitting)…. or falling asleep sunday afternoon while nursing conrad to sleep on my bed and then josh sneaking in and taking conrad when he woke so i could KEEP NAPPING (what the what, thank you josh davis)…. when samson told me, “i just love you so much mom, i’m going to stay with you forever and never leave you, and never let anyone hurt you” (sure, he was pretending he was superman when he said it, but i still took it to heart)…. getting fresh peaches and plums at the farmers market and also that moment at like 1 in the morning on saturday night when josh and i were backing up a bunch of my computer files and came across conrad’s birth video which made us both teary eyed and nostalgic as we re-watched it and shared several thoughts with each other about that experience and time. golly, how was that already 8 months ago?!
anyway, hope your weekend was the best weekend ever! i didn’t snap too many photos, but we did snag these ones below…
i know it’s not supposed to hold two kids like this, but my kids love to squish into the stroller seat like this when their little legs are tired of all the city walking and i kind of think it’s the cutest. reminds me that they are still little. and not too terribly grown up and old just yet.
we are currently obsessed with the i heart watermelon smoothie at juice generation. we can find any excuse in the book to walk by there.
peaches and plums at the market! but mostly, just living for conrad’s face as he tries to bite into that apple.
we stopped for a minute on the sidewalk saturday so i could nurse conrad, and somehow ended up planting ourselves on that section of pavement for a good 15 minutes or so. josh started snapping some photos as i wrapped up feeding conrad and i really love these pictures because they capture my three littles personalities so well as we take a breather together on the sidewalk. life with three, you guys, i don’t even know what to say. how do people do it with four? or seven? or even three?! haha. just kidding.
have a great week, friends!
ps. did you know we were nominated for best family blog for the 2015 bloglovin’ awards? if you wouldn’t mind taking a minute to vote for love taza, it’d mean the world! (you don’t have to vote for every category if you don’t want to, so it just takes a second!) as always, thanks for following along and reading. xoxo
