Monday Already?

Did a weekend seriously just happen? Pretty sure I missed it--and pretty sure I need another one. One where Darrell is home more so it doesn't feel like just another day of the week. Friday night Darrell volunteered at a basketball tournament hosted by the local YMCA, so after grabbing a quick bite for dinner he was gone until well after the boys were in bed. And Saturday he was up and out the door before eight to do more of the same--and he barely made it home in time for dinner. Thankfully my mom was around to help me with the boys; our Saturday swim lessons are parent/child, and since both boys are in the class I needed another adult to go with me. And even though the water was a little cold (like always!), I'm pretty sure she still had a good time. Plus one of my friends was there with her son, and since her husband was in the water she took some pictures! Yay for friends who do a better job than I do of taking pictures of their kids.

After swim lessons I sweet-talked my mom in to joining us at a local second-hand store that was having a weekend sale--and she ended up spending more money than I did! Whoops :-)  After naps we went grocery shopping, then had dinner (with Daddy-yay!), and then it was time for baths and bed for the boys, although we weren't too far behind them (we live a thrilling life, I tell ya).

Our excitement for the weekend came on Sunday when we went out to dinner with my family, and even that was really only exciting because it meant we got out of the house and didn't have to cook dinner ourselves. Thankfully the boys do pretty well at restaurants (even though we really don't go out all that much), so dining out experiences tend to go smoothly. Plus it always helps when Grandma and Grandpa, in addition to two sets of aunts and uncles, are there.

The weather is just on the verge of getting (and staying!) nice, although I'd really appreciate if the wind would dial back 10mph or so. I'm ready for weekends (and evenings) spent outside!
