We had a very good weekend. Finally, it was warm for a few days in a row. NICE!! We got the chance to relax outside and enjoy sun and warm weather. We broke out the shorts, tank tops, and sunscreen. I put sunscreen on Lily for the first time this year and she took a whiff and said " Mmmmmm, it smells like the beach" .
Friday, we had a playdate at the park with a friend of mine and her son. We had a picnic, brought the sand toys so the kids could build sand castles and spend the morning at the park. It was great. Great playtime for the kids and great adult conversation for the mommies. Then, Mom VV came over for the whole afternoon. We sat in lawn chairs, popped open a bottle of wine and more relaxing in the spring sun. The kids took naps for a couple of hours, then they came down and played outside. We are lucky to have a fenced in backyard, which is great for the kids to play safely and for us to not chase them around all the time. They jumped on the trampoline, played playdough outside, colored with chalk, and just had a good time.
Saturday was the opening day of the Farmers Market here in Madison. Chris and I took the kids up there for Breakfast. We bought local produce, ate bakery items, and enjoyed the 70 degree weather. We took a very long walk later Saturday night and enjoyed the parks near our house. We ran the ball diamonds and played soccer with the kids. It just felt like a wonderful spring day!!!
Sunday was a cold day outside and it was rainy. So long sunny weather !! Chris and I were getting ansy inside, and so were the kids. Nolan has been teething and getting in his molers so he is so so crabby all the time. Sometimes, just a change of scenery is good for them. Mom E. watched the kids for a while at her house and Chris and I went out for Lunch at our favorite, Olive Garden. It was a nice and long, relaxing lunch. We then stopped at the mall to pick up a few summer things for the kids.
Chris has off tomorrow as well so we are hoping to get some things done around here. We need to get that swingset up, which we know will take us a while.
Have a wonderful week, everyone!!
