Perfect Weekend!

Jason didn't have to work on Saturday morning AND there wasn't a base ball game this weekend!!! How exciting!

To short-circuit the grocery shopping and get it done before the weekend was officially here, we met Jason at Buffalo Wild Wings for supper on Friday after he got off of work. After a yummy supper disappeared off our table, we headed to Wal-Mart to get the groceries we needed. He took off from there to head to Sam's Club for diapers and a few other things we normally buy there instead of at Wal-Mart, and the kids and I headed back home. Now we could enjoy Saturday and Sunday and not have to squeeze grocery shopping into the mix!

We made plans to head to the Indiana State Fair on Saturday with the Johnsons, and we all had a blast! We made the rounds through the animals and the little farm experience (where the kids gather eggs, pick vegetables, "milk" the cows, etc., and then at the end they can sell their stuff to the market and get "money" to buy one item). The kids had fun walking through there and picking out there goodies, Meggan a carton of orange juice and Jordan a little box of Pops cereal, and then it was time to head to the rides!

Meggan wanted to try some of the bigger rides, but after riding the Crazy Mouse roller coaster with Jason, she's more than perfectly happy on the smaller section of rides! She did love the caterpillar roller coaster, and I even caught her with her hands in the air during the second or third time that her and Maggie decided to ride it!

There's Meggan in the fourth row back with her hands straight up!

After the fair we came home and then Dawn and I got to go out to dinner and to the mall by ourselves! What a great time! We shared a meal at Cheesecake Factory (so that we could have a piece of cheesecake) and shared the cheesecake too ... then made our way into the mall and came out with a few new pairs of shoes and a new shirt! It was a really fun time, and nice to get the chance to talk to Dawn without the kids screaming in the middle of us... :)

In the meantime, the kids and Daddy had popcorn for supper and watched a movie that Jason took Meggan to the movie store to pick out, The Singing Princess. Looked like they had a good time (sorry, but the pics were a little blurry)!

Popcorn for supper? On the living room floor? Daddy, are you feeling okay??? :)

After church on Sunday we decided just to come back home and hang out for the day. We filled up the kids' pool in the backyard, and they swam for a while after we ate lunch and before Jordan was ready to lay down for his nap. Then we all ended up laying down for a while, until it was time to eat some supper and head to ChristCare Group in the evening!

It was such a great weekend spent together as a family! :) How thankful I am for these 3 wonderful people!
