at the prompting of my friend amelia, vince and i found a
weekend to say "no" to everything because...brilliance. seriously, our
schedules are crazy and we rarely have a free weekend. there are times we go months without one and that can just be exhausting mentally and physically. so
a "say no" weekend felt like an amazing idea and who doesn't want to
be 2 years old again and hurl a toddlers favorite word around from time to
time.
i was so excited about it but i had no idea it would be so
awesome. it happened to be the weekend of vince's birthday so i went out to
purchase his gift in the morning. the fact that he got his gift on his actual
birthday is a feat in itself. i'm not good at gift giving and he is a gift giving guru. anyhoo, i went out
that morning alone and i thoroughly enjoyed my time to myself just doing something
normal.
after that, we laid around the living room and watched whatever.
we literally blew up our blow up mattress, brought in the snacks and just
watched random stuff all day from home remodeling shows to movies to movie
previews (vince loves previews). i think my body was in shock so it took a bit
for my brain to believe this was happening.
sunday i cooked a bigger breakfast than normal for him and
jasmine. basically that means i included pancakes which they loved!! we went to church
(almost didn't but so glad we did because it was awesome), ate with friends and
returned home to relax some more. i had given him a gift before church and once
he figured out the price, he was super excited. it was a bike, so we could ride
together. we tested them out that afternoon and then just chilled!!
i
don't have many pics from this weekend because i was busy enjoying it.
sometimes you just gotta be in the moment you know? i know everyone is all
about turning up now but we turned off and it was the best time. we now want to
try to do it at least once a month! can't wait for octobers "say no"
weekend.
