5/25/16: Picked up the kids last night and came home. Naomi and I went outside for awhile to play while it was still nice out while Brodie stayed inside. We watched some movies and hung out. Their Nana is going to pick them up today (5/26/16) and keep them in Ellsworth for a few weeks. So we're trying to get all the lovings in that we can with each other before they're on summer vacation! :)

5/24/16: I didn't have to pick the kids up after work yesterday, they decided to stay with their Nana (which was fine by me). Josh and I hung out at my house, grabbed take out, watched some shows, and then later on went to his house. It was very nice, considering how busy my work week has been.

5/23/16: Josh had stayed over Sunday to Monday after he got off work. Monday after I got off work we took a little nap together then went and had a bite. We then went to the grocery to grab some stuff so he could make dinner. My stomach wasn't feeling too well after we ate earlier, so he made dinner but I had fallen asleep. He made a delicious shrimp and pasta meal (I ate my leftovers today 5/24/16). :)

5/20/16: The kids' field day at school was on Thursday. However, Friday Brodie brought home a ribbon he received from field day! He got 3rd place out of all the first grade boys in the running thing. Pretty awesome!

5/21/16: Naomi and I had a girls afternoon and went to Comic Con! She dressed as Spider Girl and I dressed as Pizza Steve. We had a great time! Brodie didn't want to go, I didn't make or force him.

5/22/16: Marks 10 years with my company. Nine years in my position. Quite the accomplishment.

5/19/16: We had game night with our friends. I won in Cards Against Humanity and then Laurie and I took third in Blokus. It was a fun time with all of them.

5/17/16: Josh had stayed over from Monday and the four of us (kids, Josh, and I) just hung out and watched some movies. Naomi drew pictures of Josh & I, they're very sweet.

5/18/16: I wrote notes to the kids' teachers. As the school year is coming to an end (last day is Monday!) I wanted to let them know how I appreciated them making learning and the school year fun for the kids. I hope the kids remember to give the notes to them today (5/19/16)! lol :)

5/16/16: Naomi had stayed home from school yesterday because she had complained of a stomachache (she had one the night before too). So she stayed home with me, Brodie went to school. After I got off work I took her to her dad's and she said she was feeling a lot better. Then I went back home, ate a whole pizza, watched some Netflix, then picked up my boyfriend and grabbed some Vietnamese take-out, then came home and watched some HBO. Pretty relaxed night for a Monday! Lots of food. ha :)

5/12/16: Didn't do much. I took a very nice selfie of myself in a new hat. haha :)

5/13/16: Kids' school had a carnival, they were with their dad and his girlfriend but I still met up with them to hang out for a little bit. They played in jump houses and Naomi got her face painted...like a cat! :)

5/14/16: I got a new tattoo! It's a macaroni and cheese and they're holding hands. It is so cute!

5/15/16: Kids and I went to Panera Bread for dinner. It was very nice.

5/11/16: The kids are on a field trip today (5/12/16) to the symphony. As I picked them up from school yesterday they told me that they had to be "fancy" for it. So once we got home, we picked out their outfits. Well, I picked out Brodie's outfit. Naomi brought five different dresses out and asked me to help her decide which one she should wear. They were very excited for the symphony and I am sure they're having a great time.

5/10/16: After picking the kids up from school and after I was off work, we took the kids to this park that is closest to Josh's house. Let them play for awhile to burn off some energy. Dropped Josh off at home then went home ourselves. Kids went to bed pretty quickly after we got home.

5/6/16: The kids didn't come over until around noon on Friday and when they did all the kids (Bro, Nomi, and Cora) were all excited to play together. We just ordered pizza and stayed home, relaxed, watched movies.

5/7/16: FREE COMIC BOOK DAY! We got ready and headed to Elite comics to grab some free comics. We saw a couple friends. They had cake but it was all gone by the time we got there. So afterwards we went to the grocery and grabbed cupcakes. Came home, made early dinner, took a nap. Played outside for awhile. Went through boxes.

5/8/16: MOTHER'S DAY! We woke up early because we had to take Tisha & Cora to the airport. After dropping them off, we headed back home. I went back to sleep for awhile. Then the kids napped. It was a nice relaxing day. The kids gave me cards and what they made at school. The kids also got me some lipgloss! Then after dropping the kids off with their dad, my friend Laremy and I went to see the new Captain America movie (Civil War) which was fantastic. And then we went to Josh's work--which was the first time in a week that we saw each other.

5/9/16: Josh and I went to Mint to eat some sushi, then my place (because I forgot my purse at home Sunday night), then we went to Tapcade to watch the rest of the Royals game and grab a bite. We then went to Up Down (an arcade bar) and hung out. I got the second highest score on a Mario Bros game, that was pretty cool.

5/4/16: Wednesday was Star Wars Day! "May the Fourth be with you!" lol I wore one of Brodie's Star Wars shirts, we played outside after school/work for awhile and then we all went to bed early.

5/5/16: I PICKED MY SISTER & NIECE UP FROM THE AIRPORT!! I cried when I saw them and gave/received the biggest sister hug. They're here till Sunday and I am so so so happy!! :)

5/3/16: Brodie went to bed around 5 yesterday evening, he just said he was really tired. I think his allergies were getting to him. So Naomi and I kind of had a girl's night. We ate pizza, helped paint her nails, and watched Barbie Life in the Dream House. It was very fun.

5/2/16: Stayed home and relaxed. Watched some "oldie but goodie" movies on Netflix that just got added. Went to bed early and actually didn't wake up tired. Two more days until my sister is here, too.

4/28/16: Thursday, Josh got off work early so I picked him up and then we just ordered pizza and stayed home. Not much going on. While I was home both of my cats were very sweet to me, which was very nice.

4/29/16: After work on Friday, we loaded the car and we (Josh & I) headed to Table Rock Lake to visit his family (grandparents, dad, & aunts). The drive down was kind of crazy as it was raining almost the whole time and there were some twisty turvy roads. But we made it.

4/30/16: We spent most of the day at his grandparents house. Josh's dad told old stories and we rode around on the golf carts, his dad showing us around the "village" where they live.

5/1/16: We woke up early and got ready, after packing up the car we drove to Roaring River and checked out the spring and hatchery. Then headed home. It was a very nice weekend full of laughs and smiles.
