Another Fun Weekend

Wow...we're on a roll!  Two fun weekends in a row!  I think it has to with the fact that it's Summer time (for all intents and purposes), technically it start in like three weeks.  This nice weather makes me want to go go go!  On Friday night we had to go to Dairy Queen because...well, just because.  I love my ice cream and I think I finally have everyone convinced that it is necessary at least once a week! 

We didn't really go anywhere during the day on Saturday, but it still felt fun!  Jason and Nate finished up the swingset and the kids were just super excited to see it all coming together.  They played outside all day with the nextdoor neighbors while the boys were hard at work ( I just watched...I'm good at that).  They all played amazingly well.  Something about the water table just keeps kids busy forever, not to mention in one spot for a long period of time, which means less chasing for me!  And then finally, the swingset was done, and they were all thrilled to play on it.  Their smiling faces made all of that hard work worth it, (you know, it's hard to watch!).

That night we met the Beckers at the Birmingham Fair.  I was so proud of Sydney, she went on every ride and loved every single one.  I thought she would be a little scared, but she surprised me.  There wasn't anything she wouldn't do.  Even Lizzy had fun on all of the rides!  And the best part was, for some reason, I must have looked like I needed more tickets or something.  On two occassions, people who were leaving the fair, just gave me their tickets (and they weren't cheap!!).  It was so weird...but I was very thankful.  Also, on one of the rides, I found almost an entire sheet of tickets.  I was looking around for someone who might have lost their tickets because I felt bad about taking them.  But I couldn't find the owner, so bonus for us...we made out quite well and had fun doing it!  We decided to go to Max and Ermas for dinner instead of eating crappy carnival food!  We had a ton of fun and literally the very second we got into the car to go home, it started raining.  Is that great timing or what?

Hopefully Sunday has another great day in store for us...but we all know I dread Sunday's.  I definitley don't wake up as happy on a Sunday, but I try to make the most of the day!!
