I am just finishing an amazing staycation just me and the girls (and Mahir when he wasn't at work). It was wonderful and I hate to not be able to be with them more. Grammy and Grampy went on a cruise and with Mahir at work it was just me and the girls. Yes, I packed it with fun and excitement, but that's what I like to do! Friday, the hottest day of the summer, I left work early and met Mahir and the girls so that we could go wave to Grammy and Grampy from Castle Island as their ship sailed off into the Atlantic. Leyla and Hannah wanted to play on the playground but it was just too hot for that. Saturday we celebrated Mahir's birthday by going to the Stone Zoo and we had a wonderful time, fed the budgies, saw the koalas, went to the bird show, and then went out for some lunch and shopping. Sunday was a relaxing day at the pool with the girls swimming and having a great time. Monday the girls and I took the train into Boston, had lunch by the Aquarium, they played in the water on the Greenway, we picked up some sweets at Mike's Pastry, and after visiting my coworkers, the girls played in the Frog Pond and went on the carousel before heading home. Tuesday Leyla had camp and then we had a playdate and made cookies! Wednesday we just hung out in the morning, did some errands, and visited Daddy's work and finished the evening out at dinner. Thursday we did some more hanging out, Hannah and I went to Target while Leyla was at camp, and then we had lunch and went to the library since it was raining. Finally, Friday we picked up Grammy and Grampy and had a relaxing afternoon.
The girls definitely challenged me. They are both in an "irritate your sibling" period and so that tends to leave me yelling or getting frustrated with them. But, what can you do? I wouldn't have it any other way and I definitely enjoyed my time off with them and I'm counting the days until I can spend more time with them more than just the evenings and weekends I already do. XOXOXO
