Walks, playtime, adventures out and about, time to chill, that is what good weekends are made of! Ours has had all of these things already and we get a bonus day tomorrow...yahoo!




Yesterday we hung out in the morning and literally played with every toy we own! So, a walk was a much needed out for us all! Fresh air, and wind! Holy cats it was windy! You could tell some sort of front was moving in. The temps were pretty mild and out need to get out was strong, so we put the kids in their sweatshirts with hoods and hit the road!


Later in the day, we met my mom at Home Depot to gather a few random things and look at patio furniture. The kids love Home Depot~so much to look at at once and bright lights! We made it through there pretty quickly, so we were feeling bold and decided to make a quick Target run after that! Too fun! The kids were great and loved the outing!


Today was another unique day to say the least! This morning, Riley was a maniac in the walker (a total hoot!) and Madison was an attentive audience for her daddy while he played the guitar!

It was super muggy outside and felt like it was gonna rain, but the radar indicated it was going to hold off until the afternoon...so Bob slapped on his rollerblades and hit the pavement and I strapped the kids into the stroller and took them for a walk. They were really "commenting" on everything they saw when we were walking! It was so sweet! When we returned, they were in such a good mood! I grabbed the camera and snapped a few pictures...
Funny Story...later in the day, I asked my mom to run out with me to buy new car seats for the kids. I needed help getting 2 car seat boxes in carts and into the car. I cannot believe M and R have grown out of their current seats! We decided on the Britax Boulevard seats and I think we will be happy with them. So, my mom and I felt like we were on a roll, so we swung by the house, dropped of the car seats and went to a local home improvement store to look at garden stuff and patio furniture. While we were in the store, Bob called my cell phone and said there is a tornado warning, do you hear the sirens? WHAT? YIKES! So we had to make a call, stay at the store and risk being there for a really long time, or gun it home....we chose gun it home (we were close) so we each had a baby in a cart, so we pushed them straight to the car, drove like crazy home and hung out int he basement for a while.
Don't think there is such thing as a normal day around here...love it though, and luckily, the storms passed and we are all safe. (and tired!!!)
