Weekend at Home

Carli's tournament in Waxahachie got rained out so we had a very rare Friday night at home with the whole crew!  When given the option to go out to eat or stay home, everyone wanted to stay home!  The kids choose to cook their favorite dinner:  nuggets, mac & cheese, and fries.  We threw in some crescent rolls and brownies too!  Ava helped with nuggets and rolls, while Drew arranged the fries and Carli made some brownies.  It was fun to have everyone involved and my kitchen was literally destroyed but we didn't care!  

After dinner, everyone wound down in their own ways.  Drew had a bubble bath while Maggie cooed and grinned at us.  The girls got to play on their kindles before bed.  We were all in bed by 9.  It was nice!!

Saturday morning, Maggie slept til 9!  It took four kids but I finally got on that sleeps!  The other three were up by 7!

Our sweet neighbors, Mr. Joe and Mrs. Bobbie, invited us to the BigFoot Bash at their store in north Tyler.  Originally I planned to take Drew but only to see the truck not to see it in action as it was scheduled right in the middle of nap time.  But with the whole family home and Keith to help with the bear that is Drew with no nap we decided we'd stay!  But first, we had a Bueno date much to Carli and Ava's delight!

I missed getting a picture with Mr. Joe and Mrs. Bobbie but they were busy!  There were lots of ppl there!  The kids had a blast climbing tires, doing a bounce house and free drinks and chips!

Big Foot started at 1 and Drew was so tired.  But he wouldn't leave so we stayed put and despite the look of complete exhaustion on Drew's face, the was so amazed by the monster truck!

We even took the kids to Toys R Us for their going out of business sale and picked up a few things for the beach in a few weeks.  Drew is so much fun in the toy store.  Lots of "WHOA!," "WOW!," and "Did you see this?!"  He's pretty good at understanding he can only get one toy, and it doesn't keep his amazement at bay!  We followed up the toy store with bundt cakes and then came home to grill steaks.  It was an awesome day!
