Sunday Night

1. The weekend

I am becoming a weekend loving girl.  When I started full time at the Cancer Center I realized why everyone was so gaga over the weekends.  As life continues...I am THAT person.  This weekend, our days have been full to the absolute brim.  Mike and I love being active and staying busy (don't get me wrong...we love sitting, eating brie and apples, and watching movies) ..... anyways, this weekend was FULL.  

2. The Fire station

This afternoon I took all three boys to a birthday party at a fire station downtown.  I must say, it was pretty awesome.  I have never been inside a fire station.  Not only that but the two firemen showing us around were very good looking.  AND one even offered to help me to my car.  What???!!!  A hot fireman asked if I needed help getting my kids in the car.  As I type this out a realize maybe I looked overwhelmed with the little one and two crazies in tow.  Regardless the boys had a great time and I loved this birthday party.

3. The backyard
A few years ago....yes you read that correctly...YEARS ago...I started to cut down a dead tree.  I personally didn't cut it down but someone from Craig's list came to cut it down.  Half way.  So it has been a huge eye sore ever since.  Until this weekend!!!  This weekend we started on the back yard and officially took almost the entire tree down.  As Mike was taking it all down we started burning most of it.  Our current wood pile is huge and this is much more efficient than bagging for the trash. We had a fire for the entire day yesterday and today.  Lots and lots of work.  And when you have fires all day, you have s'mores at 11am.  It is pretty wonderful.

4. Smiles
Jack started to smile at me today.  It makes your heart melt.

5. The grill

This weekend we have used the grill for most of our meals.  Who doesn't love breaking out the grill once it gets nice outside.  Cheers!

6. Brothers

Love watching the bonds continue to grow.

6."The Bears"
This morning we made up bear names.  Jack is "fussy bear". Owen is "hairy bear" because his hair grows so fast and he always needs a hair cut.  Cameron is "super bear" because he loves to dress up like super heroes.  Mike is "silly bear." I am "cute bear" (Owen insisted).  I tried to be smelly bear since I don't take showers everyday but he said no. And Nash is "shedding bear."  This was our actual morning conversation in the wee hours....we were pretty proud of ourselves.

7. Goals & Dreams
I live off this stuff.  I have been super goal oriented lately and it makes me feel alive.
