Weekeeeend!

We love weekends! They are such a reset for our family and a nice change of pace from the demands of the week. I always wake up on Friday morning with a little pep in my step knowing that Jake will be home for 2 full days to change all the poppy diapers and give me time to nap. ;) only kind of kidding. Really though, we love soaking up every uninterrupted second we get together. 

Here's Ryan "helping" me with the laundry while we waited for dad to come home from work on Friday. We also went to the splash pad down the street with our friends Casey and Logan that morning.

A quick barf down Jake's back and he was OUT. 

So many good thunderstorms this summer! I swear it'll be blue skies and sunshine, then all of a sudden it will get dark and come pouring down. We've gotten stuck in a surprise rainstorm TWICE with two different friends at the park within the last month. 

Lazy, sleepy, slow weekends are our kinds of weekends. 

It was my turn to plan date night tonight and we didn't have a sitter, so we did a little fall clothes shopping for Ryan and then went to The Cheesecake Factory for the sweet tamale cakes and bread. 

We kept him distracted while we waited for our food by showing him how to roll his tongue. It was so funny watching him concentrate so hard. I'm pretty sure he thought he was doing it. :) 

 We had planned to stop at the Thanksgiving Point Farm on the way home (I'm pretty sure our season pass has already paid for itself with how many times we have been!) but then our neighbors invited us to a kickball game so we decided to do that instead. By the time we got home we were all so tired we canceled all plans and hung out in the yard instead. It was a nice end to the night!

One more day of weekend bliss before the week hits and life speeds up again!
