Friday, both of the boys went their separate ways for the weekend. Jordan went camping with my in-laws and it was Jacob's turn to spend the weekend with my parents. This meant that Brad and I were kid less all weekend!
Friday night we went out to dinner with some friends from church, Nikki and Vince. We ate at the Tin Fish on Marina Point overlooking the Ohio River. It was a beautiful night, actually chilly for July. Afterwards we met some more friends, Stacey and Bobby and went bowling. We had an awesome evening and Brad and I are so thankful for the new relationships we've made in the last three years.
Saturday, Brad had to work some overtime (thank God) and I headed to my friend Rebekah's (since elem. school) house to meet her and another friend, Leisa (since middle school) to put up sweet corn for winter. Rebekah's parents own a farm in Spencer County and grow sweet corn. We picked it, shucked it, washed it, boiled it and scrapped it off the cob. We started at 10:00 and ended around 5:30! It was a lot of work but we had a blast just hanging out in the kitchen and talking. I am so glad Rebekah and her family has moved back home!
So to right now, Monday evening. Again, we woke up to another beautiful day. Thank you Lord for this weather. I asked the kids what they wanted to do today and they said, "Meet Mamaw Knight for lunch at Roca Bar and eat outside". So we met my mom, sister and nephew at Roca Bar for lunch and then headed to Fortress of Fun to play. The kids had so much fun playing at the park and the highlight was the ice cream man coming and the kids got to buy ice cream! We headed home and the kids are now outside playing none other than............. BASEBALL with their daddy in the back yard.
My house is a mess, my eyebrows need to be waxed, my hair needs to be cut and I have TONS of laundry to do but spending time with my kids is WAY more important than all of that!!!! We have had an awesome day and better than that, we are ending it with some Tastee Freeze Ice Cream!!!!! Life is good!
Yesterday, we headed to Ft Branch for Zack and Zane's 10th birthday party. I have been friends with Laurie since I was 2 years old and our husbands and kids automatically became friends. We usually have a blast when we're together and yesterday was no different. The kids played outside on the slip and slide, played baseball, jumped on the trampoline, had cake, and ate cheeseburgers and hot dogs. Laurie's boys wanted my boys to spend the night (and my boys begged to stay too), so we let them. They were so excited to stay since they don't get to very often. (Laurie took some pictures of the sleepover, so I copied her pics). I can't wait to hear how much fun they had last night and what time they finally fell asleep! I am really surprised we didn't get a call from Laurie last night asking us to come and get Jacob. He is still uneasy about spending the night with people but his big brother was there, so I'm guessing he did alright!
