weekend recap...

wanna know what we did this weekend?

absolutely NOTHING!

ok, well maybe not nothing...

Friday eve was the last night of VBS at our church - so we got 2 go & check out what the kiddos had been up 2...afterward, there was a picnic & a whiffle ball game...check out the game face on this 1...

talk about keeping ur eye on the ball! ;0)

the girls had a blast too...

not sure what she did here...

but her sister sure thought it was funny!


& we did manage 2 get a real bed in Jaden's room on Saturday...at our last place, he acquired a queen-sized bed...but there simply wasn't room 4 it in his current room (it's in storage now)...so since we moved last October, he's been sleeping on a twin-size air mattress, inside his tent...yes, a tent in his room...this actually started at our last place...& he LOVED it!...4 a while...but i could tell he was getting tired of it...& wanting a real bed again

so when my sister mentioned that she'd listed her gently used twin-sized bed on Craigslist 4 a really sweet price, i jumped on it! & since she felt sorry 4 me & my laid off hubby, she gave us an even better deal! score!!! ;0)

he laid on it 4 most of the afternoon...either drawing, or staring at his Kings Dominion map (something he's done since our last trip)

those Chinese paper lanterns? (that Jaden keeps insisting i put candles inside of! ~lol~)
they came from Oriental Trading (meaning, they were cheap!)

i picked them up (& a few other cool dragon decorations) right after we moved here

he also has this guy in his room...

his name is Wyvern, & he came from some Dragonology stuff Jaden got 4 Christmas a year or 2 ago

Jaden also loves his maps...

i keep meaning 2 track down an alternative 2 more pins (holes) in the walls...some kind of sticker that will pinpoint a tiny city...we talk about where all our family & friends live, where we would like 2 visit someday (China, Japan & Hawaii r tops on Jaden's list)...i'd love 2 b able 2 label all those places with Jaden - even add pics of our loved 1s that live there...any ideas?

oh, & back 2 our weekend...it rained...no poured all Saturday nite & most of Sunday...we got in some family movie time & we cooked some pretty fabulous meals 2gether ;0)

& lastly, we had manicures last nite...

funky fun manicures...right b4 bed

it was the perfect ending 2 a relaxing, laid back kinda weekend
;0)
