What A Weekend!

It is always busy around our house. I guess anyone with three children can expect crazy weekends. Ours started with a rough Friday at our house. Both the older two were not on their best behavior. After many, many warnings I put them in seperate rooms to rest. Something I haven't been doing this summer. They generally enjoy spending time playing, reading, drawing, and playing outside together.
Anyway, by the time Daddy got home I was really ready for a night out!
I got to go out with my great friend, Rebecca. She had the weekend alone because Patrick took their three little ones to visit his family. We went to a favorite Mexican restaurant and ate chips and fajitas until we could eat no more. Then we went to the new Wal-Mart and just walked around with NO DISTRACTIONS!!! I love spending time with Rebecca, she is such great company.
Saturday started with Greg and Jack going to a lab for Greg to get bloodwork done as a follow up to his Doctor appointment this last week. When they got home Jack andI ran an errand. Then when we got back we all went to Sams. We love to go to Sam's on a Saturday and shop and eat hot dogs. They have really good hot dogs, I 'm not kidding!. Then we ran home and got Jack ready for Cameron's birthday party. When he and Greg got back he told me to ask Jack if he liked roller skating. His answer was a definite NO! I think Jack doesn't like to do anything he can't do perfectly. So, being the mom I am I asked him if he would like skates for Christmas so he could practice and get better. He lit up and said Yes, mommy please. He is such a perfectionist!
The last thing we did Saturday was the best! Greg and I got to go on a real date night. Something that has been few and far between lately. We went to see Pirates of the Caribbean and it was wonderful. Aunt Gretchen came over to watch all three kids and put them to bed! What would we do without our two wonderful Aunts, who take such good care of our kids. We love them both so much.
Sunday we got up for First Service and for the first time since Connor was born we were out of the house on time without feeling rushed! Connor ate, the other two dressed themselves and I got to completely get ready for once.
After a yummy lunch with my family, we went to Aunt Tammy's to swim. Emma and Terry joined us too! Jack and Bailey love to swim and are really fun to watch this summer. Connor got in the water for about 30 minutes. He kept trying to put his face into the water and would come up sputtering and laughing. I guess he will love the water too.
Then we all 5 layed down for a Sunday afternoon nap!
Now that is a perfect end to a crazy weekend!
