Aug. 31, 2009 - We had a great weekend!

It is so nice when you can have a pretty simple (inexpensive) weekend, and your kids feel like you have given them the world....ahhh what a feeling!

Friday night we went out to dinner with my mom in law for Sonny's birthday, then went to the mall just to walk around, then to the Petco, because we told the kids we would get a fish. Picked out a fish, came home and got "Grover" all situated in his new home. Sat morning I had plans to go to some yard sales with my mom; Logan and Savannah wanted to go with me and Wilson and Sonny went on an ALL DAY FISHING TRIP! We hung out with my mom for the day, after the sales, stopped to see my Mema (g'ma) and got to visit my cousin who has recently moved back here (I haven't seen him for years).  We got home and the kids were thrilled to help go through the yard sale stuff, and did a lot to help me around the house, sonny and Wilson got home a bit sun burnt, but WoW, they were a couple of happy, happy guys!  I believe Wilson really enjoyed his alone time with Dad (usually both boys go fishing) I know they have a good time when it is all 3 of them, but once in a while it is nice to have the one on one time. We even heard the kids saying later that night that their weekend was like having a birthday!!  That was awesome to hear!!! We didn't do anything major, but just hung out and did something "different" and for not being major, it seemed to have major impact. Especially for Wilson, who got some good building memories time in with Dad. 

Sunday we had an awesome worship time and sermon, went to lunch with some friends from church and came home to just relax.

Now here we are Monday....and getting back into routine, but so thankful for these simple weekends with beautiful weather and just some time to hang out!!! Hope everyone is having a blessed week!
