Weekend Overview

Our weekend was nothing special, but that is just fine with me.  Zach doesn't ever find out if he's working on Saturday until Friday afternoon, so we just have to work around that. This Saturday he ended up having to work, which worked out okay because I was off. Finding a babysitter last minute is never fun!! So, that meant our Friday night was going to be spent at home taking it easy. We ordered pizza and watched t.v....good enough for me!

On Saturday morning, my friend Tanya and I and our littles went for a walk. It was a lovely morning! :) I then braved the crazy Saturday morning grocery shoppers at Aldi and Walmart.  I'd much rather go during the week, but I needed something to help pass my day. Jay always does really well on our shopping trips. He was an angel in Aldi. He loves playing with that dumb dangly thing on the cart where you put the quarter in, and he just smiles and waves at everybody. Then, we got to Walmart, and he had decided that he was done. He was crying and whining and trying to get out, and I was ready to make a mad dash for what I needed and get out of there! Until, the heaven sent deli worker gave the boy a potato wedge. He was perfect for the rest of the trip, which gave me time to run through the clearance aisle! Oh how I love the Walmart clearance aisle! I got a few things for next summer for Jay. The water wings were only 50 cents! And so was the side walk chalk, so I snatched some up! They also had these cute little golf caddy's with clubs and balls on sale for 3 bucks. I don't usually plan too far ahead as far as that stuff goes, but I couldn't pass up the deals!

Saturday night we spent the evening with the Voss family. Jay and Ty are slowly becoming playmates, and it's just too cute. Let me tell you, we had one heck of a dinner. We splurged and went to good ole Mickey D's. It's so funny how your lives change after kids. The boys made us laugh more than once. The little boys and the big boys. :) We came back to our house, and the big boys drove around and looked at real estate...fun fun, while Lara and I stayed back with the kids. We don't hang out enough, but we always have a lot of fun when we do!

Sunday morning we went to church, grabbed some lunch, and came back home for a little bit before heading to Zach's sister's house in Campbell Hill. Zach decided that he wanted to hunt this year, so he is hunting their ground. So, we had to go there to get his deer stand ready. This stand said it was supposed to take 15 minutes to put together, ha! It took at least 2 hours to get it somewhat assembled before he actually put it in the tree. We rode the 4-wheeler out to the tree that he picked out, and he thought he could just put it up. Oh, and picture me walking through thorns and sticks and all things nature in shorts and flip flops while he had on pants and boots. Nice of him to give me the heads up, haha! Let's just say after 2 more hours of "hold this, throw me that, don't do that, give me that, and what the heck are you doings" we got it up. Well, it was mostly Zach, but I was a good rope holder. We stayed for a great dinner, and then came home later that evening. It was a good day. Zach's sister also has a 1 year old, so she and Jay entertain each other! Oh, and note to grandparents thinking of Christmas ideas, Jay was obsessed with her Cozy Coupe! :)

We had a pretty laid back weekend, but it was filled with friends and family, and that's just the way I like it!
