A Very Busy Weekend

This weekend was action packed and filled with filled with fun from beginning to end.

We started our weekend off with some Friday night guests; my parents had a wedding to go to in McKinney and they stayed with us after the wedding. The kids got to play with Nana and Pop Friday afternoon, and they were delighted to see Nana and Pop were still here when they got up in the morning. We had gotten a delivery and had a large empty box that proved to be a great play place.

We also took the kids to the park while Nana and Pop were here. Harper and Jack had a great time running all over the place and I think Nana and Pop had a great time chasing after them.

Saturday night was a low key night around our house, especially because Harper decided that she didn't really want to take a nap. She was running on about 45 minutes of sleep, and by 7pm, she was one tired sister. Here'a picture of Harper curled up with her daddy trying to fight off sleep.

Sunday morning Tony, the kids, and I were lucky enough to be able to meet up with my Aunt Becky and Uncle Rex for a late breakfast. The kids haven't seen Becky and Rex since this summer, so it was fun to have breakfast with them. The kids were great- they didn't cry or fuss, they ate a good breakfast, and they even talked to Becky and Rex a little bit. We told them that Harper and Jack were going to be a zebra and a lion for Halloween, so Rex helped Jack with his roar, and Becky drew pictures for Harper while we waited for our food. It was lots of fun, and it was nice to be able to catch up. I forgot to take a picture of the kids with Becky and Rex, but Becky did take a picture of us- a rare shot of our family all at once.

Tony and I also had a treat this afternoon. Our anniversary is coming up, and we did our gifts a little early this year because I surprised Tony with tickets to see his favorite celebrity chef in Dallas. So, Durinda was nice enough to watch the kiddos, and Tony and I went downtown to see Alton Brown. He put on a a great show, and we had a great time. Happy Early Anniversary, Tone!

We also made it home in time tonight to go up to a local church for their "Trunk or Treat" and fall carnival. I was skeptical about the kids making it through, but they had a great time and were so well behaved and funny and super cute in their costumes. But, I'm going to wait until later this week to post the Halloween costume pictures. Here's hoping we have a great week full of restful moments to gear up for another busy weekend next weekend!
