North Carolina - Part 6 - Sunday

Sorry I've not updated lately, this week has been busy with yoga, movies, dinners and great friends!

Sunday in Raleigh was a fun day. Anna took me to a yoga class first thing (when I came out of the bedroom wearing my yoga clothing, AK looked at me and said "Mommy's going to yoga?" like it was totally expected) and then we came back home and picked up the rest of the family and went back to the gym to go swimming!

I believe it may have been Baby Liam's first time swimming and he did great but seemed to get cold quite quickly. The kiddie pool was perfect for the girls as it sloped down gradually from all sides so they had lots of room to play in shallow water.

We got showered up and changed after swimming and the girls sat on the counter while John blow-dried their hair :) it was really cute! We had some lunch at the gym cafe and then headed home for naps for the girls and shopping for me!

I walked over to the big box stores and spent some time in Old Navy and Marshall's (like a Winners). I got a few things for me, for AK and some picture frames. AK was still sleeping when I got back and so I had to wake her up in order to get her ready for the birthday party!

Sofia was invited to her buddy Yash's birthday party and Anna asked if we could come along as well. It was held at a museum, can't remember the name of it but it was science-based. The party was held in a room off to the side and our time there was jam-packed!

First we had pizza, snacks and cake

Miss AK always on the go

The finished product!

Hope these pictures give you a bit of a glimpse at the party - the video was put together very nicely but it cycled through the pictures quickly and it's hard to get a good look at any one scene.

The goody bags were pretty wicked too and kept the girls quite occupied on the way home. It's amazing how the dumbest and simplest things can provide so much entertainment!

The rest of the day passed quickly - Anna made a lovely shepherd's pie for supper and once the girls were in bed, I had to pack... Anna took a look at all my bags of shopping and admitted afterward that she had serious doubts that I'd be able to pack it all! But I got it all in!
