Another pretty cool day with a lot of nothing. 🙂
We got up and skipped church (I know….BAAAAAAD!! But the rationale was that we wouldn’t have gone if we’d been out of town, so…) and made breakfast: pancakes and bacon. My first time making pancakes (yep. for real) so they weren’t exactly my Dad’s … but the first batch wasn’t bad. I had the pan too hot for the rest of the batches though…live and learn.
Then Mike took care of the twins so that I could go take a nap when Logan went down for one. (Have I mentioned that Mike is awesome??)
Then the power went out…which means the A/C and the noisemaker in Logan’s room turned off…so he could hear Burke saying “Lights broken!” at the top of his lungs…short naps this morning 😉
We headed out to meet Aunt Cathy for a late lunch/early dinner at Fridays. One word for you: MUDSLIDES. YUM! And Logan ate about 1/2 a plate of mac & cheese. heh Maggie got her groove thing on and was dancing by her chair (much to the delight of the wannabe Goth chick at the next table).
Apparently, even though Mike and I were not in the least bit hungry … by the time bed time for the twins rolled around they were *starving* and ate about 10 “dinonuggets” each. YIKES! (yes. at bed time. oops…perhaps we should remember to actually feed them more often *blush* )
I have to say that the entire Staycation was *really* nice. I don’t even feel like I need a vacation from my vacation – which is what normally happens. I will say this though:
I don’t want to go back to work tomorrow!

I love your Staycation idea! You are right too…always need a vacation from your vacation lol.
Glad you enjoyed yourselves, sorry it back to work though.
Think I mentioned it before, but I am entirely enamoured of your “staycation” concept! AND, I don’t think you were remotely “bad” to miss church…sounds like a day filled with productivity, needed rest (hello, Sabbath 😉 ), gratitude, and family love. Sounds a lot like what we’re called to do. 🙂
I firmly believe that it’s OK to take a break from church occasionally, as long as you don’t take a break from God! My husband does not share this theory, unfortunately. As far as he’s concerned, the only excuses for missing church are blood or vomit.
Sounds like you had a great week!!
