Memorial Day Weekend

So this weekend Josh and I brainstormed a lot of ideas for how we could spend our extra day together. I had originally planned to spend the whole day working on schoolwork but that sounded so un-fun and a huge waste of precious Josh time, so I threw that idea out the window pretty quickly. Instead, Josh took Scarlet after I fed her in the morning so that I could sleep in for the first time in a while. (We've been sleep-training her and it's been exhausting for both of us, although Josh is able to sleep through some of it.) At a more morning hour, we made some honey-cinnamon-peach buckwheat pancakes for breakfast and then got Scarlet dressed for the day. Then we headed out to Costco to get some shopping done, only to find out that Costco was closed for the holiday. So we skipped the errand and went straight to Park City to check out the outlet mall. I love shopping there, and Josh was surprisingly good (he hates all shopping. Even grocery shopping tires him out and leaves him cranky). We bought some work slacks and a shirt for Josh and a shirt and a skirt for me. Scarlet got nothing since we're not allowed to buy her clothes until she outgrows all the clothes we have for her now. (She has more outfits than both of her parents combined and even more to come when she grows a little more.)

We went home for some quick laundry and lunch, after which we drove to the cemetery in Sandy so Scarlet could meet her great-grandparents, her great-great-aunt, and her great-great-grandmother. All of her relatives remained quiet and so did she, but I like to think they got along.

After the cemetery, we went to the grocery store, picked up some food to tide us over until Costco opens again, and then went out to dinner at Zupa's. When we got home we put Scarlet to sleep and I actually sat through an entire episode of Doctor Who (voluntarily) before we went to bed.

I had a wonderful time with my family. I'm so glad we had that extra day.
