A full family weekend!

We had so much fun as a family this weekend! Friday night Brendan's practice was cancelled so Shane went out and gut Arby's for dinner- nothing like fast food to start the weekend off right!! At least I ate a turkey sandwich! The kids all went to bed & we watched a movie together.

Saturday we went to the petting zoo & pumpkin patch & the kids had a great time. Nathan was just in love with the little goats! He was so excited that they would eat from his hand. Shane grilled our dinner & it was so good!

Sunday we all headed to the baseball field to watch B play. There were acorns to collect & a nice dirt pile to play in! And Brendan hit a 3 run homer, pitched a one hitter, and made some really amazing plays! He is such a little star!

We went out for pizza with a family of friends and it was really yummy! When we came home we played outside until the sun went down! So many people tell us we need to get away from our kids.....why????? They are the most fun people I know! Sure they are hard work but they make me laugh & smile like no one else on earth! Shane and I are bored when just one of them goes off to visit grandma for an afternoon! The few times we have gone out to dinner or something we always end up saying "The kids would love .... " or "Can you imagine if the kids were here"

Aww, that weekend sounds so fun! We do the same thing when we go out alone-we always are like "Oh, the kids would have loved that!" I miss them so much when we get back.

I am struggling with this issue right now.. I know that Chad and I need the time to be 'us', but it is hard to be away and us when all I can do when I am gone is think about my babies... They are my world.... so I can certainly relate.

Your weekend sounded wonderful!!!
