Weekend In Review

To share your weekend, please visit Jodi at:
 

Friday ~ Spent the early part of the day cleaning and doing things around the house, then in the afternoon we went to our friends' sons' open house.  It was raining lightly and there were a couple of puddles and while I normally wouldn't let the kids play in the puddles when we were at a get together but other kids were doing it and I figured it was let them or spend the whole time trying to keep them away from it.  That didn't seem like a great plan so I let them have at it.  They had a great time and they got to play with their cousins.  It was a nice open house with really yummy food.  When we got back home, we got the kids in the tub, there clothes in the laundry and got Lauryn ready to go for her sleepover at my mom's house. 

Saturday ~ Since Lauryn was still gone and Lloyd had an appointment, Lucas and I ran a couple of errands and had a lunch date.  We went to Applebee's for lunch and had a really nice time.  Our waitress even thanked us for being a pleasant table for her and said how great it was that Lucas was so polite.  That made this Mama's heart swell with pride!  We came home, watched some tv, played some games and when my mom brought Lauryn back, we all had dinner together. 

Sunday ~ I spent some time in the house cleaning and doing laundry (both never-ending tasks!) while Lloyd and the kids were outside doing yard work.  We had a delicious dinner with NY Strips and baked potatoes on the grill and very sweet corn on the cob.  After dinner Lloyd set up the slip 'n' slide and the kids had a blast.  Lloyd and I even did it and had fun playing as a family.  It was a truly great weekend and a great start to the summer!
