Yes, that's right...we've done nothing that would be included in the "work" category this weekend. We've taken full advantage of the Holiday weekend and the fact that we stayed home from the lake. Since the weather has been absolutely wonderful...and simply hot at times...we decided to do all of the 'vacation' things here at and around home.
It all started on Friday evening on a bit of a sad note when we had to say goodbye to our summer 'sister' Cassondra. Cassondra, or Sarama as the girls pronounced it, stayed with us for the majority of the summer helping with the girls, loving the girls and becoming part of our family. We really felt that we gained another daughter this summer. Nevertheless, we'll be having weekends with Sarama/daughter rather often in the weeks and months to come. But Friday evening before the sad goodbye was fun as we took the crew to Bravo! and out to Scoops for ice cream. A great summer celebration!
Saturday then started off with a question mark...what to do? Then daddy said, "Girls, do you want to go to popcorn?" That means the movie theatre. So daddy and mommy endured the summer blockbuster "Space Monkies"...did I say blockbuster? Ha, sorry, I meant summer bust! But it really doesn't matter what we thought as the girls really had quite a 'fab' time...and the popcorn was a hit as well! Saturday afternoon was a great one for naps...for all three ladies of the house...can I say YES???!!!! And the remainder of the day was outdoor play and bubbles!
Sunday...another labor-free day! Morning was filled with play-time and then off to the MSU Children's Gardens for fishy, froggies, and flowers! It was once again a hot day! But it is a-okay with all of us...but darn those allergies!
We're planning on Monday being a 'home-day'. BBQ for just our family and playing outside and maybe a bit of geocaching.
We feel so blessed to have these times together. Life has been such a rush-rush, go-go, worry-worry! I think with all of the talking with people and "discussions" I've had with myself and the Big Guy upstairs, I'm recognizing the need to take more and more time like weekends like these. Time to lay down with Logan at her nap and talk with her when she wakes up, sit with Leah and play in her bean bucket to simply pour beans on my floor and laugh about it :) or to actually pet Riley for more than 5 seconds! Life means a lot...a lot...and I get it!!! AMEN!!!
