trying to decide how to proceed with the weekly blogging. \u00a0It was almost easier in some ways to do it daily! \u00a0By the time I write the posts I&#8217;ve forgotten some of those little things that happened over the week and sometimes totally forgotten what we did on some days. \u00a0The best way for me to write up the posts are by the day, but because my life is fairly uneventful, a lot of days are the same. \u00a0And no one wants to hear about how often we eat Chick-fil-A or how much laundry I do and how I rarely put it all away before I have to start another round of loads and so I&#8217;m digging clothes for the kids out of the laundry basket instead of their drawers. \u00a0But at the same time I think I&#8217;ll want to look back on these posts and see what I perceive now to be monotonous, but what I&#8217;ll likely look back on fondly. \u00a0So for the time being I&#8217;ll keep on doing it the way I have been, leaving out the truly boring, although my definition of boring and yours might be different :)<\/p>\n<p><strong>Monday:<\/strong> Betsy and I went to Home Depot and bought paint for baby&#8217;s room! \u00a0Creamy buttermilk, kind of makes me happy just thinking about the color, it&#8217;s a sweet pale yellow. \u00a0Totally predictable for a gender neutral room. \u00a0We went on a big grocery trip before picking Carson up from school. \u00a0Wish I&#8217;d meal plan for the week every week, even though it means a long grocery trip, it makes the rest of the week so much easier. \u00a0This afternoon I slept on the couch while Carson watched Paw Patrol, thanks to Betsy for taking such a great nap!<\/p>\n<p><strong>Tuesday:<\/strong> Betsy has a cold\/allergies so we stayed home from bible study. \u00a0Charity came over and brought lunch and we got to chat a little. \u00a0It was a much needed time together.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Wednesday:<\/strong> Carson went to school, we came home and I cooked the rest of the day. \u00a0 I made a big double batch of spaghetti and meatballs and brought some to a family who just had a new baby. \u00a0Betsy took a good afternoon nap! \u00a0I hope this is a trend.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Thursday:<\/strong> We played with the Richey&#8217;s this morning, had lunch, then came home for naps. \u00a0We had girl&#8217;s wine and cheese night and the guys got together, which I think was really good. \u00a0We made bookends which I&#8217;ll hopefully get around to sharing soon&#8230;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Friday:<\/strong> \u00a0We ran a lot of errands this morning. \u00a0Carson and Betsy were great. \u00a0We came home to eat, nap and pack for Austin. \u00a0We&#8217;re going tonight and coming home Saturday night. \u00a0Grandpa Marvin is going to be in Round Rock so we figured we should make the trip to see him.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Saturday:<\/strong> Last night we stayed with Kate and Steve, this morning we got to see Claire and Daniel. \u00a0We drove out to pick Sarah up and see her new place. \u00a0Then we headed to Round Rock and spent the rest of the day there. \u00a0Talked out on the deck, played bocce ball. \u00a0Gave the kids dinner and headed back home. \u00a0It was a hard drive after we left Bastrop. \u00a0Betsy cried a lot, but both kids finally went to sleep. \u00a0When we got home I stayed in the car with the white noise on while Ben went upstairs and set up the kids monitors and sound machines. \u00a0Betsy transferred to her crib with no problem. \u00a0I forget sometimes how wonderful it is to hold a sleeping baby\/toddler. \u00a0It doesn&#8217;t happen with Carson anymore, but still happens occasionally with Betsy. \u00a0It&#8217;s pretty special.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Sunday: \u00a0<\/strong>After church we went to lunch with some friends, but stayed just long enough to eat. \u00a0Both kids were in real need of naps. \u00a0After they got up we drove in to pick Ben&#8217;s car up from work since I&#8217;d picked him up from work on Friday. \u00a0A cold front came through during our outing, temp of 72 when we left and 41 when we got home. \u00a0Texas weather!<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a
