Sweet Weekend

It was a lovely summer weekend, full of deep breaths of refreshment!


My parents offered for Peter to have a weekend at the farm house, full of tractor rides and lovin' on his best dog friend.  So we took them up on it.  


The other 3 of us slept all night long and until 9am (!!!) on Saturday.  I can't remember the last time we did that... maybe 15 months ago (probably not that long, but we thoroughly enjoyed it)!  My internal clock didn't even wake me up in the 5's.  We had a leisurely morning... 

Mike and Lily took at bike ride (at Lily's request!) to get us bagels :)

 ...then a trip to Home Depot.  After some hemming and hawing, we decided to tackle scrapping, sanding, and painting our shutters.  So we worked on that in the afternoon then had an evening out b/c Lily had a date with Gram and Pop.  We had dinner at Chipotle for $14.96 (our goal was to stay under $15) and then just sat there.  We kept sitting and sitting til the sun went behind the trees.  The weather was per-fect... the perfect mid-summer eve!  We said we were plugged into our charger and waiting for the charge light to turn green... it was lovely.  :)


Then we did a little shopping... I found some babyGap deals for PT.  Mike browsed the Apple store.  ;)


And our fun treat yesterday was that Paw drove Peter back then stayed the afternoon and night with us!!!

We all went piled into the van... 

Paw was the clown in the car, not suprising I know!!!  

 then Lily's turn!

Big Bro was more into his book than clowning around!

We got a drive-thru dinner and headed to the pool!

It was a fun evening to re-live fun pool memories with Paw!  My kids got to enjoy pool time with him, just like  I did so much growing up!  It was a blast and just good for all of us!
