What Great Weekends Are Made Of

*Dinner with friends followed by the guys and bigger kids
roasting s'mores out back in the fire pit.
*Starting a trial membership at the gym. I don't know if we'll join, but it sure makes working out better when you have childcare and all that fancy equipment at your fingertips:)
*Playing outside while daddy mows up leaves and fixes things with his new nail gun.
*Running errands that aren't necessary at that very moment but still productive.
*Buying a new computer. (Yay!!!! We've put it off forever and used the other one that hasn't really worked well in years-- wow, it's nice to be able to just turn it on and be ready to go!)
*Daddy and big kids going to get doughnuts for breakfast. (and even bringing one home for mommy!)
*Getting a lot accomplished on refinishing the kitchen cabinets. (I love them! Pictures soon to follow!)
*Reading/telling accounts from the Bible with the kids in bed.
*Lots of playdough creations.
*Movies on rainy afternoons.
*Sitting under Fred's teaching at church on Sunday morning. And hearing what the kids learned about in their classes.
*Sunday lunch at Firehouse. (Kids eat free and Fred and I split a combo- so it's less than $10 for us all to eat plenty...and I don't have to rush around cooking when everyone is starving!)
*Sunday evening Bible Study with dear friends-- challenging and encouraging one another in the way that we love/discipline our children.
*2 hour premier of this season's 24...so exciting...go Jack!
*And I know that Monday doesn't count as the weekend, but we played hard for a good 4 hours outside-- which always makes for a great day!

Playdoh is definetly a big deal here on weekends too...along with Lego's...but when you mix the two...ugh! It takes many toothpicks to get into all those little crevices!
