Weekend in Review

Our weekend was fairly relaxing and I love those kind of weekends (this weekend coming up won't be as quiet with birthday parties to go to, hair appointments, errands to run, etc.)!

Friday night Mr. Man had to work late but took us all out to dinner when he got home! Nice reward for us! We also did some car shopping, I found two I really liked but they were a little out of our current price range.

Saturday morning we slept in a little bit and then Spirit and I took a jog (I walked some and jogged some) which felt good! After a simple breakfast Lady Bug and I ran to the grocery store. When we got home to unload the groceries the boys were all gone. Apparently, Mr. Man had taken the boys on a bike ride to scope out some garage sales. They have a small fort (built in a neighbors shed, with neighbors permission of course) and so they wanted some tables and a rug to sit on. They found some deals -- even found a free table-- so they came home to get the van and go back for the stuff.

Saturday evening we allowed the kids to have two neighbor boys sleep over. They watched movies and ate popcorn and candy. About midnight I had to go tell them to settle down and go to sleep. I didn't hear anything else, but it was clear they didn't sleep much. They also made a HUGE mess with popcorn. So Sunday morning I made the kids clean up and vacuum, there were lots of tears (due to the tiredness) and pouting over having to clean up.

Sunday afternoon we all laid down to rest. I told the kids they had to lay down for 15 minutes and if they fell asleep I wouldn't let them sleep too long but if they didn't fall asleep they would have an early bedtime. All 3 kids were asleep as soon as their head hit the pillow! Amazing! {and yet, they insisted they weren't tired! hmmmm!} Lefty slept THREE hours and I woke him up - repeatedly, he just kept falling back to sleep! Lady Bug slept about an hour and a half and Spirit slept about an hour.

Side note: we STILL can't find our camera?!
