Weekend Recap

We started our weekend early b/c Shelby had the day off from school on Friday, which worked out great b/c the girls have been asking to go to Pump It Up for a few weeks now. It's hard for us to get there during the week b/c our non-school days are usually spent at the library or at the park with the Goins, and I try to avoid indoor playplaces on the weekend like the plague. {Crowded places & small kids just aren't a good mix, but if I'm being honest...I don't do crowds well either!} Anyhow, we finally got to go to Pump It Up on Friday & the girls were thrilled!

Then on Friday evening, Derek came home from work early so we could all attend the Marvelously Made Art Show. It was such a fun night! The school really goes all out every year for the Art Show, and it looks like a real art museum.

This display is what Derek was cutting all of those cardboard circles for. ;)

Derek snapped this picture b/c he couldn't believe what a madhouse a preschool art show could be ;)

Each year, the school provides every family with a random assortment of supplies to use to create a family masterpiece to display at the show. This was ours! :)

On Saturday, we attended a joint super hero themed birthday party for two of the girls' friends. Shelby & Josie both go to MM together, and Josie has a little sister named Carrie. Hadley & Carrie have birthdays within a couple days of each other, so they get along great and enjoy playing together at drop-off & pick-up. I wish I had gotten a picture of the four of them together b/c these four girlies are such sweet friends.

 

 

We didn't have any plans after the girls' naps, and it was wet & windy outside so Derek suggested an impromptu family date night! We went to Logan's Roadhouse for dinner & then to Marble Slab for dessert, and we all had so much fun! The girls were completely enthralled with cracking the peanuts while we were there, but neither of them would even try one. ;)  And since I don't eat peanuts, Derek had to eat quite a few..ha!

Hard at work cracking peanuts ;)

Hadley devoured her macaroni, and Shelby still had some left so she offered a bite of hers to share with Hadley. I think they knew they were being cute, so they had fun doing this over & over again. ;)

Today we went to church, and then while the girls napped Derek got the grass cut & I did some chores around the house. Storms rolled through our area after the girls' naps, so we declared it movie night & the girls got their nails painted while they watched their VeggieTales DVD from the library.

Now the girls are in bed and Derek & I are watching The Profit & getting ready to eat a big bowl of ice cream...perfection! :)  Hope you had a great weekend, too!
