We absolutely started our day with a HUGE case of the Mondays.
I had plans for us to go enjoy the nice weather at the arboretum...but after about 20 meltdowns before 10am {at least 5 directly related to NOT wanting to get dressed and/or go to the arboretum}, we decided to stay home and try to get our minds right. So Matt came to the rescue and suggested that we meet him for a picnic lunch at his office, which was just what we needed. We relaxed at home for a couple of hours, bounced in the bounce house, watched a little Fresh Beat Band to calm our nerves...and then packed up lunch for 5 and headed to Irving. Matt's office is next to a great little lake, and although it was pretty windy today, it's a perfect spot for a picnic with 3 littles. We don't have to annoy anyone at restaurants, and we get to enjoy being outside and watching the ducks. And I don't have to clean up the kitchen after lunch! Win win.
Matt is sporting a pretty legit beard these days.
And sweet Caroline has enough hair to support a bigger bow!
It was a little bit chilly because it was super windy. Will kept scrunching up and telling us he was protecting his baby body from the cold.

Caroline LOVED the salsa we brought. She always wants any kind of sauce, but usually salsa makes her cry because it's too spicy. But not today! She slurped it off of the chips and kept asking for more.
After lunch, the kids all enjoyed good naps {and I enjoyed the quiet time!}. And then it was back in the bounce house. I've mentioned before how the bounce house is loved by all...but generally a bit death-defying for the girls. But they love it SO MUCH. Especially Miss Emily. She couldn't get this grin off her face the entire time:
Caroline loves it too, but she doesn't usually want to stay in as long as the other two.
Tonight, Emily would have stayed for hours. This smile makes my day!
Will is usually moving too fast for pictures...
this hair!
So glad we turned our case of the Mondays into a pretty awesome day!
