weekend recap...

following our week long downpour (for real, thx for topping off our cistern Lord! ~wink~), Saturday started off pretty gloomy too...it wasn't really raining any more...& it wasn't cold (actually, it was almost 65 degrees)...it was just cloudy

so, i sent the kiddos outside & told em 2 have at it!

there weren't many puddles around...but they def made due with what they had!

how come splashing in puddles is so darn fun?!

later, the sun did grace us with its presence...the sky even cleared up & made 4 some great cloud watching!

Jaden has been dying 2 take a walk in the field behind our house! he calls it the "county line" & we just had to cross it! ~lol~ i finally gave in & told him we could...we crossed the fence & kept our eyes open 4 cow patties ;0)

we later moved our walk 2 the pavement...& the kiddos added scooters 2 the mix...i really need 2 get me 1 of those so i can keep up!

this is a common site in our house on weekend mornings...my girls love coffee...

i only allow them 1 cup each (well, it's really 1/2 coffee, 1/2 milk) on the weekends...it's a special treat that we enjoy together (Curt & Jaden rn't coffee fans)

after church on Sunday, we ran home 2 change clothes, then headed over 2 Nana & Grandpa's for lunch...my sis & her kiddos also showed up...& even my sis-in-law & Matthew came by!

it was even prettier out yesterday than it was on Saturday too! so we had a picnic...

& rode 4-wheelers

& swung on the flyers

Gabrielle & Deandra (my sis' daughter, that's actually Jaden's age) r BFF's when we're able to get em together...they wander off & explore on their own...they chat about their favorite music & TV shows...then pout when we round em up & tell em it's time 2 go home...

they try this each & every time...show up with arms crossed, lips out...

i guess they think 1 day we'll fall for it & be like, "ok, go play for another hour!" ~lol~

they hug & cry like they may never see each other again! then we force em in our cars like the mean & abusive parents that we are...& before we're far down the road, they're over it ~lol~

at home, the kiddos apparently hadn't had enough sunshine...me either, for real! so we headed out for another stroll...well, again - i strolled...they left me in their dust!

except for Gab...she felt sorry for me & fell behind to keep me company

well, either that or she was just tired of pedaling ~lol~

then last evening was our Thanksgiving meal at church & boy, what a full house!!! the tables were packed & we were lucky to even get to sit beside each other (well, sort of beside each other)...sure wish Sunday mornings looked like that too!

& now here we are...back on the grind :0( y, oh y, must weekends go by so darn quickly?!

now tell me...what did u get in to?
