great weekend

We had the best family weekend. It started off with our usual friday night. Feed the kids, hang outside with friends and then J and I get take out once the kids are in bed. Very nice. We watched the series finally of our fav show. Friday Night Lights. The end was sad and we are very sad it's over. Saturday we all slept in till 8:30!!! After lounging for awhile we went on a family run. Then J mowed the grass while we played with the neighbors. After that we went inside and moved the playroom to the basement. It feels great to free up some space on the first floor and the girls were so happy to get some basement space to themselves. A lot of their friends have the basement as kids zones so they were happy to get one. Then we picked up dinner and had a picnic in the park!!! We checked out a new park in town. It has a playground and a sprayground. It was so nice. Planned out well and very pretty. The kids had a BLAST! Even Everett got in on the action loving the slide. Sunday started out as our usual too. Boot camp for J and I and Jplay for the kids. We all love it. Afterwards J and I get a little time for coffee and then off to the pool we all went. It started raining but it was not a bad rain so we stayed and played. I remember how much I used to like swimming in the rain and wanted the girls to get that too. Every Sunday that we are home we grill out so we made BBQ chicken. The kids (including E) ate it up. It was very good. E loves being able to eat normal food. You can tell he feels so big. It's National ice cream day so the ice cream place up the street was having scoops for 1.49 so we decided to have a special treat and walk up there. As we got outside it started to sprinkle again. We figured it would stop soon and the ice cream place is only 3 blocks away so we just could not drive so off in the rain we went. The girls were on their bikes and loved riding in the rain. It never did stop and rained pretty decent but no one cared. C saw some pink ice cream and decided that was the kind she wanted. I assumed it was strawberry and so that is what I ordered her. When she got it, it was not pink. She was mildly disappointed but who can be disappointed for long with a cup of ice cream in their hands. The rest of us got cones but she is still a cup girl and didn't care she didn't have what the rest of us did. She sat on the bench outside looking at the rain and ate most of her ice cream. The little bit that was left Jack got to enjoy. We never feed him anything so that was even more of a treat to her that Jack was eating her ice cream right out of her cup. Great end to a great weekend!!!!
