Busy weekend

Jake and I had a very busy but fun weekend!  Thursday Jenny came over in the afternoon so we could hang out.  We went to Noodles and Company for dinner then walked around some shops to get steps.





Friday after work we met Allison at the lake!! We went for a walk first and when we finally became hot enough we jumped in the water.  Jake is much better at swimming now and we no longer have to worry so much about him dunking.





Saturday we went to the local park to go canoeing with my siblings.  Jenny and her boyfriend rented a canoe and Ben and Allison rented a paddle boat so Jake and I could come and not feel excluded from family outings.  We didn't boat for long because it's so much work, but we did go swimming afterwards. That night Ben and Allison took us out to eat at Famous Daves, a BBQ joint.  After a delicious meal we went to a playground for Jake.  It was pretty relaxing to sit and watch while they chased Jake. :-). We had ice cream for dessert, then came home and went right to bed!












Sunday we moved the boys room around so we could fit a bed for Jake and a crib for Caleb.  I felt it was time for both boys to sleep in bigger beds.  More on this later...... Then we took a walk on the bike path.  I loved getting out of the house this weekend and finally doing something.  I also love spending time with my family and them playing with the boys.  It means so much to me that they include us even though our kids have to tag along and create problems sometimes.  Maybe Allison and I could make swimming a weekly outing!

  1. You guys definitely had a packed weekend! How nice that you got to spend so much time with your family and they helped to include you and the boys! I know that can be hard sometimes, being the only one with kids and wanting to hang out but feeling like you would be an imposition. Sounds like you had lots of yummy food and good opportunities for exercise. ;) Hope you win the competition!
