~Long Weekend~

We have had a very fun, long weekend! It started with a sleep over at Gram and Gramp's on Thursday night. All four kidos! John and I enjoyed a kidless, date night. Something we aren't very good at. I dropped the kids off, then went and got a haircut. We had dinner at Javier's, then went to a session at the Bountiful Temple. It was so nice to enjoy the night together, and not worry about getting back to the kids. The best part was knowing they were having the time of their lives, and not missing us a bit! The next morning we even enjoyed sleeping in (a bit), then John went to work and I enjoyed breakfast with a friend. I went to get the kids about 11, and they were far from ready to go home! I don't know that they were even excited to see me. Gram was spoiling them, and they had an agenda of things to do before going home. We had lunch, pulled a sled behind the 4-wheeler, cut out Cole's pinewood derby car, played some more, and finally headed for home around 3. Drew had a long nap, and we had a fun night. Gram let us borrow Home Alone 3 (they watched 1 AND 2 at their house), which they couldn't wait to see! They were all ready for bed when it was time. Cole and John had a sleep over upstairs, Cole was VERY happy!
Saturday we hung out and played. We read a little Harry Potter, and even got some homework done. I got to work Saturday night, so they had "daddy night".
Sunday was church, then family time. Grandpa George came for delicious roast dinner that John cooked- mmmm. We finished off with hot cinnamon rolls. That night the girls had a sleep over upstairs, and Cole and John slept in our bed and even watched a movie on John's laptop. Everyone was happy!
Monday was more fun times. Saylee had a birthday party and Madi got to go to a friends. Cole and John played Big Game Hunter 2012 while Roo took a nap. Later we went to the mall to maybe go to a movie, but we decided to wait til there was one we really wanted to see. The kids played at the playground and got some energy out. Then home for calzones, and we rented 'Mr Popper's Penguins' which they thought was quite funny. Off to their own beds and time for normal routine. It was a great weekend!
