The Past Few Days…

Well, I did not think it was at all possible, but the sickness in the Burgess household continues. Thankfully it’s me and not the kids, but nonetheless I am sick of all the sickness. We are going on a MONTH of sickness going around our house. Insane. I went to the doctor on Tuesday to find out I have a double ear and sinus infection. The good news is after 48 hours on antibiotics I am feeling like a new person again. The unfortunate part to that is that Thursday I ended up with the nasty stomach bug that has been going around. Needless to say, I am choosing to ignore the fact that my tummy feels terrible and go on with life because if I slow down to think much about it I may go insane. So that is how the week started. Sorry, I really needed to vent it out!

Ok. So what did we do this week. Tuesday I made a Valentines Day post but that evening my Mom stopped by with more Valentines so I thought I would share. So here is Valentines Day Continued….

My sister and Abigail were over too. My wonderful sister came to watch my kiddos while I went to the doctor. She was a super big help. Then my hubby came home early from work to take over so I could get some much needed rest. I have such an amazing family. So blessed!!!

Skittles and Hot Wheels!

Autumn got a really cool new ABC puzzle.

Auntie got a pretty necklace and Abi also got a puzzle.

And I got a matching necklace to my sisters. Love it.

Thanks so much Nana & Pampo for all the generous gifts. You guys spoil us rotten. Love you guys!

 

Thursday we mainly just did the usual weekend stuff. Took Owen to school, ran some errands and did some major cleaning/reorganizing around here….

So this is a glimpse of what our guest room turned sewing room looked like all spilled out in my living room. This is all my sewing stuff. My mission for the day was to get all this stuff organized to make my new ventures with Nessy’s Dressy’s a little easier on myself. I should have taken an after picture but I forgot. It is finally all organized and I now know where all my supplies are. Yay!

Later that evening Brandon and I went on a much much needed date. We called our amazing sitter Kenzie and she was stoked to come spend the evening with our kiddos. It’s a treat for the kids too because they absolutely adore her! We went and had dinner at Lone Star (too bad my tummy felt like poo and I couldn’t really eat much) and then headed to the movies to see Safe House. Great movie by the way. It was such a fun night and a great time for Brandon and I to connect. Thanks again Kenzie for watching the kids, Owen is still talking about how much fun he had!

Friday morning we went with some of our very good friends (the Lucio Family)to spend the morning having some fun at Chuck E. Cheese. The kids had a blast! What a fun fun way to start the day. Just a little secret if you go to Chuck E. Cheese right at 9am when they open they are testing all the rides and games and they let you keep all the free tickets that are coming out of the machines, and there is no one else there. We had the entire place to ourselves for 2 hours!

 

Autumn, Aubryn & Jace taking a ride. Jace is the little boy my friend Melissa babysits who happens to be our friends Brittany and Travis’ son. Aren’t they adorable?!?!

Averie & Owen riding the bike!

Aiden was so into this racing game. I think he spent all his time playing this 1 game. Haha

I have to admit, Chuck E. Cheese is seriously overpriced but every once in awhile it is worth it to watch your kids have a blast!

Later that day we packed up the family and headed across town to Uptown Albuquerque. I had an appointment at Alfred Angelo Bridal Salon to try on some bridesmaids dresses for my Best Friends Wedding in August. It pretty tough because all of us bridesmaids live in different states so we are all trying on her dress choices and e-mailing her pictures so she can decide what dress she likes best. I was a little worried about how the kids would behave while I was trying dresses on but they really did great and Brandon was able to take pictures of me to send to her. After that we spent some family time walking around uptown. I snapped a few pictures of the kids since we had the camera  from my dress shopping and they actually came out super cute.

Autumn watching Mommy Model. Haha. She loved the giant wall of mirrors.

Enjoying an outdoor stroll.

And to top off our fun filled family day we decided to head to the very first Chipolte to come to Albuquerque for dinner. If you know my husband at all you know he absolutely LOVES Chipolte and has been dying for one to open up here. He was so excited!!! It’s too bad the only Chipolte here is so far from our house. Maybe they will open one up on the Westside of town. Fingers crossed.

Again the only thing that could have made the day even better was if I was actually able to eat. O well, next time!

And Daddy was one happy guy after his giant burrito! So worth it!!!
