Sunday Mornings are my favorites!

Sunday morning have become a whole lot easier since we started going to church on Saturday nights. Daddy has been working on the yard for months so that's usually been what Saturdays were for, but most Sundays we pack the kids up and head out to our favorite breakfast destination, Village Inn. Tula has become quite the little regular there. She has decided the pancakes there are her favorite. We have tried other places, and she just doesn't quite gobble them up like she does the Village Inn ones so we usually just stay with what we (she) likes. There are a few waitresses who recognize the kids and always stop by to say hi to Tula. She pretends like she is shy, every week, until they walk away and then she yells "bye" a million times and waves frantically. My Mom and Dad have brought her a few times and we have had waitresses come up and ask, "Does this girl come in with her Grandpa and Grandma sometimes?" Anyways, she is a regular there and loves Sunday mornings when we wake up and daddy is home and still in bed and we tell her we are going for pancakes. "Numma numma numma numma num" and she rubs her belly like she is starving. And off we go.





When Mav cam along, we were a little worried that we wouldn't be able to do breakfast out anymore but he is such a trooper he just chills out and watches the scene. Give him a couple creamers to play with and he is set. Now that he is in the highchair it makes it much easier, and it won't be long until we can toss him a pancake too.



After breakfast, we went and got the truck washed, another one of Tula's favorite activites. Most of the time, just her and Daddy go. They have also been going on breakfast dates Saturday mornings with out me as well, which I sort of love because Mav and I sleep in together and usually wake up to a silent house. Anyways, the carwash is a big hit. They have a place where you can stand and watch your car get washed, balloons, and big fish tank. And a million toys that people get suckered into buying for their kids while they wait for their car to be cleaned. We hung out there for awhile and that might have been the highlight of Tula's morning.



Then, we went to Costco, which as many of you know, is the highlight of MY day. But the most fun part was that Mav is actually big boy enough that we could finally sit him up in the cart. I loved seeing the too of them sitting side by side in there, and Tula was so excited her brother could sit with her. Seriously, everywhere needs to switch to the double kid shopping cart. What a wonderful invention. Costco really does think of everything. Another reason why I absolutely LOVE them! Here are my two angels in their first of MANY double shopping cart rides.



It was a perfect Sunday morning for all of us. John and I love spending time with the kids out and about. They are so well behaved when we are out at that time of day that we can actually sit at a restaurant table and really enjoy ourselves. We can even *gasp* talk to eachother a little bit. Tula had a blast since we basically are just doing a bunch of things she loves. Plus, Daddy is home so that makes the day fun for her anyways I think. And of course Mav is just along for the ride right now, but he seems happy to be there. John, I love these days when we get to really just hang out and enjoy this beautiful family we have made. Thank you for a wonderful Sunday morning, again. Look forward to many many more.
