We had such a wonderful weekend. The weather was awesome to say the least. Hot and Sunny - who can complain? Troy and I took the kids to the Sportsman's fishing on Friday night - I enjoyed the trek in the woods more so than the standing by the almost nonexistant creek waiting for nonexistant fish to bite - they didn't by the way, but Jay did catch a crab.
Then we ventured home to scrub our hands and jump into the van to go get supper at Whistles (it is a roadside order and eat in your car or on a picnic table - seasonal operation only). So we ate our food at the picnic table and enjoyed the "summer" air. It was a very pleasant night - we didn't even need our jackets.
Saturday morning rose with the sun shining and the temperature warm. The kids and I went for a walk to Sara's house to see the new paint job that Dad did over the past couple of days (it looks great) and then we walked to Mom and Dad's house to get Mom (aka Gramma) and we went for our long walk through the woods and down the highway to our driveway. The big boys took the shortcut through the woods - they think they are pretty neat since they are allowed to do that.
The day unfolded more with the sun shining and the sweat running as I finished the power washing job that I started on Friday. I got it all done and came in the house to make a Texas Sheet cake - had a craving. Lydia got invited to a friend's house. We had steak on the grill with potatoes and baked beans and cake for dessert. Then it was time for some baseball practice in the yard. Lydia came home and played some more. Then we were all exhausted so we got scrubbed in the tub and went to bed. It was such a nice day spent together as a family. I felt so relaxed when the day was over and kind of sad to see it go - we had an awesome day together with our kids.
Sunday rose like Saturday - hot and sunny and did I say hot? Troy took Jay and Jack to the barn to play in cow poop or do whatever it is that they do there and I took Lydia and Joshua to Walmart (yeah), then we came home and went for our walk with Gramma and then drove to Gramma and Grandpa's for hamburgs on the grill and macaroni salad and baked beans - it was yummy. We hung out there for a while until Mom had to get ready for work then we got home and Joshua took a much needed rest and I wrote my blog and Lydia watched TV and Troy and the boys, well they are still at the barn....
I loved this weekend so much - it was full of work, fun, and relaxation - and above all I got to spend time with Troy and the kids without any plans and without anything that had to be done. Love it!
