DalrympleClanAdventures: Action Packed Weekend

Somehow it is already Sunday night and I don't know where the time went this weekend. Friday night we had a bonfire in the backyard and roasted marshmallows with neighbors. The boys had fun playing in the dark with their friend!

Saturday Josh had to work part of the day so I tried to entertain the boys and keep them out of trouble. I even managed to get in a short shopping trip (you know me, efficient and in and out in less than half an hour!)to get some jeans for Jack, pjs for Ewan and a few things for myself too. Amazing how quickly I can get things done without any of the kids (thank to Oma and Opa for watching them)! Then after nap time it was off to the neighborhood Halloween parade. The boys paraded down from one cul-de-sac to another with some of the other neighborhood kids. Then they had pizza, got some candy and played around for a while.

Then it was off to Boo at the Zoo. What an adventure. We knew we were in for a wait when we could see all the tail lights long before the exit. After FINALLY getting to the zoo we were thankful to have ordered tickets since the signs were already up for it being sold out. Of course we still needed to park...another adventure. We finally got into the zoo and of course it was packed. The boys had fun though and eventually got into the swing of actually waiting in line at the candy stations. Ewan was the best at trick or treating! Sean had fun too, though didn't care for sitting still in line (not that he got candy either, just the two big boys). Ewan especially enjoyed the dj, great dance sessions!!!! On the way home we had to take a detour since the exit towards the interstate home was at an absolute parking lot standstill. So that was two very late nights in a row for the little tikes.

Then today Jack slept in late as he has a cough and was exhausted. Everyone was on a funky schedule today, naps at odd hours or not at all. I did a zillion loads of laundry, Josh finished the tree house and put up the zip line. Jack and Ewan enjoyed the zip line....once for Ewan anyway. He crash landed and didn't want to get back on. Then it was time for haircuts, baths, dinner....

Like I said, an extremely busy weekend. I'm exhausted again just writing about it!!
