Dad and MJ left this morning. :( But it was a very busy day, so I didn't have a ton of time to be sad. Jenny came over this morning to hang out. I have no idea how much longer we'll get to do this, and I want to soak up the hangouts for as long as I can! Shortly after she left, we started preparing for D&D and all of the families from that to come over. Thankfully, it was a light day for D&D. Only four kids came and only two moms were there! It was hot outside, so I had kids bring their bathing suits and the younger kids all hung out outside in the sprinkler, which made it much easier on me. It was Christina's bday, so I gave her the gift I got her a while ago. She seemed very excited. :) Ben was feeling horrible from not sleeping the night before (I slept in the hallway on a blanket again) and he came home from work early. He napped during most of D&D, which perked him up a little. 

There was a little chill time after D&D, then I started getting ready for the CACH MNO out my house. It came on so quick! I had completely forgotten about it for a while, then I put it out of my mind purposely, and now here it is. We had about 10 ladies come, two of which announced pregnancies, and three of which announced that they're leaving CACH. :( I'm not much for sitting in the hot tub forever, but I hung out in there for over an hour. My skin was like peeling off of my legs by the end. It was so gross. 😅 But the evening went pretty well! We had some snacks and good conversations. I'm glad I hosted one because I may not have really gone to any if I hadn't. I mean, I did the Christmas one, but that was it. People didn't stay too long because they offered babysitting. That worked in my favor because everyone was leaving by 9:30pm.

What a day! It literally rained from start to finish, but we packed as much into it as we possibly could! We had a great time visiting and hanging out. We had a fire and lots of great meals *brushes shoulder off*. The kids played well together and, as far as I know, there wasn't any drama! It was a bit exhausting, but I'm so glad that this retreat went well. Last year's was a bit of a bomb, with all the childcare drama happening behind the scenes. I feel like last year's retreat was a pre-cursor to our deciding to move away. Not that they actually had anything to do with one another, but they happened in such close succession that they seem related in retrospect. I drank a bit too much tonight and had a really fun time singing songs, while Tony played the guitar. Man, I wish I had talent with instruments!

I can't believe I had to do it, but I texted the Browns to let them know that a few of us have colds again. So annoying! And frustrating! It felt awful to cancel on them again. We ended up not doing too much. I went on a date with Jonas to Polaris that took up most of the day, it felt like. We were there to get him new Crocs, but we ended up shopping at lots of different stores and got food too. It was comfortable and fun to hang out with him. I just wish Tuttle wasn't such a lost cause nowadays! I would have loved to have that same date, but closer to home.  In the afternoon, Ruby and I went out for a bit. She really wanted to get ice cream, which made it pretty easy. I always feel like I need to match dates, if that makes sense. Like, Jonas got several hours and a trip to the mall, so it feels like Ruby should get the same. But she literally just wanted ice cream. So we went to DQ and pigged out for a bit, then headed back home. I tried to explain what I read in the book this...

This is my favorite picture from the whole shoot!! I love it.  We went to CT this morning and I actually got to sit in on the teaching! Woo! It feels like that doesn't happen very often. We hung out in the cafe with friends for a little bit, then went to Chipotle for lunch on the way home.  We spent most of the day just relaxing! I started a photo book for our Maine vaca in September, and tried to get caught up with some other stuff, but it was mostly just a chill day. Jonas and Clem went to group and we stayed home, chillin'. Ben and I got in the hot tub with Ruby and Ollie for a little while, which was fun. It was snowing while we were in there!
