This past weekend was full of parties! We stayed up late, spent time with old friends, made a few new ones, went swimming and skipped baths. It was the epitome of what summer is all about!
Friday morning we slept in, and stayed in our pj's! Megan and Addy played with blocks and built towers, played in their gigantic box, and played with babies.
DJ made it home around noon and Megan and I ran some errands. It's pretty special having time with just her, and she soaked it up. We went to Rustic Cuff, and then to the Disney Store, so she could spend a gift card she had received on her birthday, and we finished it up with a trip to Old Navy since I had some of their "super cash" to spend. I picked up this dress, these shorts, this tank, and another dress.
Before we left, Megan asked to take her picture with the dog and the mannequins.
We drove through Sonic to get ice cream, and then we came home for dinner.
DJ had to run back up to the football office to fix a coach's computer, so the girls played in the sprinkler!
They had a blast! After quick baths, then were tucked in, and I went on a run.
I told myself that I'd wake up early and get my runs in, but I had been staying up late until DJ made it home from his football camps, so I hadn't been going to bed until 11:30 at night.... needless to say, waking up early was not going to happen, so I've been getting my runs in during the evenings. I picked up this tank and these shorts at Old Navy, and they must have inspired me big time, because I ran two miles, and then did some work outs at our neighborhood playground- 60 walking lunges, step ups, push ups, and tripcep dips.
Saturday morning, the girls pretended they were going to school. According to Megan, she was in middle school, and Adalyn was in 1st grade.
Giant boxes are definitely the best summer toy. The girls have colored and decorated it, pretended it was a bus, a car, and a school.
Around 10:30 the girls and I left for a birthday party.
They asked me to take their picture before we left.
They had fun playing in the bounce house, we had lunch, cookies, cake, and then it was time for the piñata!
Megan is serious about piñata busting.
Candy time!!!
After the party, we headed home and Adalyn had a quick nap. Then it was time to head to another party! This time at our coach's house.
I didn't take any pictures while we were there, so much thanks to Mrs. Ashli for grabbing these! Megan was a little fish while we were there!
And Adalyn was a cookie thief! I think she had at least 5 cookies!
DJ swam with the girls.
And they practiced jumping in and swimming!
We arrived home to our neighbor's firework show.
And the girls were not impressed!
Sunday morning, DJ headed to work, and I took the little girls to church. They sit on this bench every time we leave church, and they asked to take their picture.
And then they wanted their picture taken again as we passed John Wesley on our way out.
After church we headed to Arkansas to meet my parents and pick up Gretchen! She had a wonderful weekend at my parents house.
Gretchen is obsessed with presidents and history. She read a biography about Bill Clinton this spring, so my parents took her to his presidential library in Little Rock.
She visited his oval office.
and they went to the old state house and drove around the state capitol.
Saturday morning they picked blueberries.
And then they came home and made blueberry cobbler!
Once we arrived back Sunday evening, we headed to our old neighborhood for a cookout.
Eventually we broke out the water balloons, and I'm just glad that this girl wasn't coming for me!
Addy ate some crackers from our neighbor's house.
And then it was all out war with a water balloon fight!
We had girls on one side.
And once the balloon fight started Addy decided that she was not a fan and needed momma cuddles !
We headed home around 7:30 because the girls desperately needed baths, and I needed to get a run in!
It was a fun little weekend!
