Family Fun Weekend

Aug 1, 2010 by Lindsay

We have had a great weekend just the four of us! We started Friday night with Spencer’s kickball tournament. He had a game at 6:30 and if they won they had a game at 8:30. Well the whole team was there and ready to play at 6:30 and the other team never showed up! So it was an automatic win for us and we were left with 2 hours to waste before the next game. The boys go to bed at 8 but I really wanted to see the game so we decided to go to McDonald’s for a treat and then come back in time for the game.

Our boys love to run, play and most importantly….get DIRTY! After rolling around in the clay for a few hours their bath water was a nice shade of brown! God sure has a sense of humor giving me three boys

Saturday morning we went swimming at Spencer’s parents house and thoroughly wore the boys out. We came home to eat lunch and Joshua was so exhausted he was sleep-eating! *Disclaimer – we did not let him stay like this, we took a picture and scooped the food from his mouth so he wouldn’t choke

On Saturday afternoon we had the idea to make a tent for the boys to play in. I thought we would throw a blanket over the table or something, but Spencer decided to go all out and make a really cool tent

Then something must have come over me because I suggested we eat dinner in our tent….messes are my biggest challenge and I just kept reminding myself that if something went terribly wrong that it was my idea Thankfully we made it out without any huge messes!

We cleaned up from dinner and read some books.

After we got the boys to bed I headed to Target to make a return and scored some deals.

We are in the process of planning a room-switch with the boys. We are going to put all three munchkins in the master and we are going to move to their room. We have two cribs and will be getting a twin bed for Andrew to move into. I am going to work with the furniture we have but I am going to re-do the bedding and some of the decor. When I found two sets of crib bedding for $16 a piece, I figured Spencer would agree that it was in the budget! I also picked up a new sleeper for little dude for $2.50 and the polo romper at TJ Maxx for $10.00!

This morning we had a great time of worship at church and then came home for lunch. We decided to go on a bike adventure this afternoon. We got Subway and went to GT Bray to eat and let the boys play. It was SO HOT! I am so ready for a break from this humidity! As we were leaving the park Andrew said to Spencer, “look Daddy, it’s a diamond” as he held his hands up in a diamond shape! He shocks us with some of the stuff he knows! This may sound silly but the one cartoon he watches in the morning is Mickey Mouse Clubhouse and I know he is learning some of this stuff from it!

Hope you all had a great weekend too!
