A Pretty Perfect Weekend

LOVED, LOVED, LOVED this past weekend. It was one of those weekends where you don't spend much money and don't really have anything planned but still ends up being awesome. Awesome weather, awesome health, and awesome cute happy kids. What more could anyone ask for?

Friday the kids and I had date night (no more feeling sorry for myself...I have 2 guaranteed dates whenever I want) and went to the park for dinner (which was Wendy's and Slurpee's) and then picked a movie off of netflix (which I love since I can get it sent right to my tv) and had "snack packs" (popcorn, and other various snacks in little Tupperware dividers). Kylee picked the movie "Follow That Bird" and it was SO fun to watch with her and Cannon.

I loved that movie when I was little and still remembered a few of the songs. I think that may be one of my new favorite parts of being a parent...watching your kids experience things you still remember experiencing as a kid. SO FUN!!! We were all in bed by 10:00 and I am not ashamed to admit it was HEAVEN. Everyone slept in their own beds and we all slept great and woke up Saturday morning happy and ready to have more fun.

We pretty much spent all of Saturday outside.

Cannon got a scooter for his birthday and he LOVES it.

He looks so grown up riding it around.

We made homemade popsicles and the kids thought they were better than real popsicles. Another childhood favorite passed on to my kids.

So fun.

Kylee even said to me "I like days you don't work very best mom."

I have to say I agree 100%.
We always have such a fun time together.

Later that night we went and played at a dear friends house and with her kids. My kids had such a great time and I hope we get to hang out with them lots more this summer.

When we came home I put both kids to sleep in their own beds, started some laundry, and went downstairs to catch up on some of my DVR'd shows. When I came back up stairs to put away the laundry I discovered both my kids had got out of their beds and fell asleep in mine. It is pretty common to find Kylee in my bed, but Cannon usually never comes to my room. Plus, I usually hear when they get out of bed so I was really surprised to see them both there. I really don't mind though.

Then Sunday the kids were both great at church and Kylee even went to her class alone with only a tiny bit of crying. Nursery went quick (unlike some days when it seems to drag) and it was just an extremely peaceful, restful, fun and happy day again.

Things are looking up. I think we are finding "normal" again and I am so glad. We are so blessed and I have learned so much and am so thankful for all that I have had the opportunity to experience. My life isn't perfect, but the weekend was pretty close. Perfect days are worth waiting out the crappy days for! :)

Hope you have a perfect day!!!
