This n' That

This weekend has been pretty awesome :) Because the girls and I were at his parents' house over the past few weeks, Daniel and I hadn't been on an anniversary date, so yesterday we packed up Sadie and went to Grande Prairie for the day! It was a really nice day too...we ate pizza at famoso for lunch and went to all our favorite stores, like home depot :) we drank iced teas from Starbucks and played with Sadie a bit, and were home in time for Daniel and the girls to play Mario kart before bed. 

Also, Sadie nailed the smiling thing finally, and I got it on camera! I love your smile, little girl :)

As for my thought of the day...I've been thinking lots on the topic of worrying about your kids. I'm starting to think that's one of the most exhausting parts of being a mom!
A few days ago I learned a friend was pregnant. We were excitedly texting, and she started asking questions about things that were worrying her about early pregnancy. I answered the best I could, then sent a text that said, "try not to worry about it." 

As soon as I hit send, a tidal wave of epiphone and emotion hit me and I sent one more text. 

"Although I know that from now until forever, you will never stop worrying about this little baby."

And now I've been thinking about that all weekend, and it's been making me really sentimental when I look at my girls. From the moment I found out I was pregnant with each one, they have been on my mind almost constantly. I've worried about everything and done my best to make sure none of them ever hurt. I always thought I would be a "tougher" mom and not get emotional at every little thing. I am not that mom. I'm the emotional one...and really, I think we all are when it comes to our children :)

I hope everyone had a great weekend!
