Great weekend

This past weekend was absolutely fabulous!

My parents came down early on Friday to watch the boys so that Brian and I could have a night out.  We had tickets to see Sugarland at Riverbend, and it was the perfect night for it. 

The boys got to spend quality time with Mawmaw and Pawpaw, and they loved it.  They helped Pawpaw shuck corn, watched Mickey Mouse and the Cars movie, ate M&M's, and stayed up past their bedtime.  Spoiling - check!

Saturday, we took Jackson to see an ENT, so Lincoln got even more time with Mawmaw and Pawpaw.  He helped Pawpaw snip green beans.  We canned green beans most of the afternoon, and also got 8 bags of corn put in the freezer for winter.  We topped the day off with grilled fish for dinner, and warm dump cake topped with ice cream.

I think everyone was asleep by 9:30.  We were tired.

Sunday, the boys were up shortly after 7:00, so we made some Cinnamon muffins for breakfast.  Mom did another canner of green beans, and then we got cleaned up and headed to a restaurant in Lebanon for a very late breakfast.  Mom and dad headed home from the restaurant, and we headed home to give the boys a nap around 2:00.

The boys spent about an hour and a half in their beds talking, singing, yelling back and forth at each other.  Then, they decided to just get out of their beds and come downstairs.  Lincoln was so proud when he got downstairs, telling me how he got out of his bed all by himself.  Lord, have mercy on us.  It may be time to convert to Toddler beds.

Thankfully, the boys were very tired after dinner, and they went to bed about 1/2 hour earlier than usual.  They still had a rough time getting up this morning.

Brian and I relaxed and watched a movie in the evening - something we don't get to do very often.

All in all, a good mix of a weekend.  Productive, yet lots of fun spending time with family.  But next time, Mawmaw says we are going to have the whole weekend be fun, and no work!

Hope everyone has a great week!
