It was a great one

1. The day off
Yesterday morning I decided that I would take the next two days off (today and tomorrow).  This made for an INSANE day at work but boy oh boy was it worth it.  We sent Jack to daycare and then the rest of us had an amazing day out on the town.  I am so grateful that my job allows me the flexibility to be with my family if needed.  And I am grateful that Mike has the same flexibility.  Looking forward to another day off tomorrow.  Maybe this time I will try and get some chores done.

2. Skyzone
We hit up Skyzone right when it opened.  We had a gift card from Christmas and we all played and jumped for an hour.  I loved being able to just spend time with them and being able to play with them - not just sit on the side lines.  I hope we do this more often.



3. The movie
After Skyzone we went to see Coco.  It was a great movie that we all enjoyed.  Again we used gift cards and coupons so the movie and all of the snacks were free.  Since I am trying to be a bit more healthy I brought my own popcorn so I didn't devour the movie theater popcorn.  Yes - I was that person.

4. Lunch
After we left the movie we went out for lunch.  We used more gift cards from Christmas - so again - the meal was FREE.  The boys were in great spirits and well behaved.  I could sit and listen to them laugh for HOURS.  
5. The evening
After we got home Mike and I laid down for 45 minutes before picking up Jack (the boys were in heaven playing video games).  I had to do about an hour of work because we had a few, strange emergencies with the providers.  After Jack and I got home the boys played for the rest of the evening.  I am so freaking grateful that they are home.  Though I am not sure who is more happy - me or Jack.  And then Mike always chimes in that he is thrilled the twins are home too.

Cheers to a great day.  Though we will not be having such an extravagant day on the town - I am happy to have another day off to spend with Cameron and Owen.
