Weekending: First One for May
This weekend was one I didn't want to end: we had a wonderful 2.5 days full of much-needed family time and it was just wonderful. Summer is nearing and we're eagerly welcoming it with open arms; I truly did see summer through the eyes of my children this weekend and it was, quite simply, pure magic.Here's what we were up to:
\\ FRIDAY
+ We had a sweet little day with no plans on our agenda, and y'all, it was awesome. I took the boys back out to Founders Plaza at DFW Airport {the second time in a week!}. We had a picnic lunch while watching the airplanes take off and land, and the boys just loved it, and I loved that they were slathered in Coppertone Water Babies Sunscreen and had on their big sun hats {and Walker had on my sunglasses}.
+ I had a great mail day on Friday afternoon: a graduation announcement for my brother's girlfriend; a Mother's Day gift for my mom from Laura Cox Designs; and a precious swim coverup for me from Pearl & Monroe!
+ Knox woke up from a {three hour!!!} nap with this hilarious bedhead and I was just rolling! Love this silly little goose!
+ Since it was Cinco de Mayo, we opted to make homemade Mexican at home instead of fighting the crowds out. So, crunchy tacos, refried black beans and rice were on the menu! And of course, a homemade margarita!
+ After the boys were in bed, Brandon and I caught up on a few DVR'd episodes of "Designated Survivor" and called it an early night.
\\ SATURDAY
+ I took Walker to soccer, and you can see how that's going. Yep, that's my kid with his jersey over his head. #proudmom
+ We did a ton of yard work, then my grandparents {who were in town from Mexico} came over to see the boys for a little bit before their flight back home.
+ Brandon and I made The Masters egg salad sandwiches for a late lunch while the boys were napping, then lounged around for a bit, catching up on more DVR'd shows.
+ Later, we got ready for dinner with Emily and her husband and little girl at Newk's. I loved the boys in their sweet seersucker John Johns and Sun Sans!
+ We had a great dinner catching up with Emily and her sweet family, and then got a couple of pictures when we were finished. I promise we got one with Walker, but he's super into goofy faces for the camera right now, so none of those really turned out well. ;) But how cute are Betsy and Knox?!
Emily and I actually went to high school together and were in each others weddings. It has been so fun to reconnect these last few months!
+ After dinner, Brandon and I took the boys to a local splash pad. It truly was a fabulous spring evening: the restaurant right on the other side of that white picket fence had live music; Brandon sat with Knox there in the shade while I let Walker run around in the water {but he really preferred to play on the adjacent playground!}; and then Brandon brought Knox over for his first splash pad experience...and let's just say he loved it! He's my water baby, that's for sure.
\\ SUNDAY
+ We went to church, and I couldn't help but snap a picture of this cutie before we left! (Big brother wasn't into pictures yesterday morning! #threenager)
+ After lunch and naps, Brandon blew up our inflatable pool, filled up the water table, turned on some music and brought the boys outside to play! I gave Walker a Push Pop and that, coupled with his little slide he had Brandon drag over to the edge of his pool, just made his little day! I almost cried hearing the boys' uncontrollable laughter and joy over a cheap inflatable pool, and it just reminded me that kids don't always need all the "stuff" to be entertained. Sometimes taking it back to the basics is just enough!
+ I made my family's oven-fried chicken recipe for supper, Brandon and I watched a couple more DVR'd TV shows and again, we called it an early night. We know we're cool! ;)
I hope y'all have great weeks!
