DalrympleClanAdventures: Family Time Weekend

This weekend we managed to find a lot of quality family time. Friday night we went to Country Adventures with our play group. The boys enjoyed playing with the animals and their friends, the long hay ride, hot dog dinner and roasting marshmallows. Then playing in the dark in the sand and dirt. They were sticky and dirty, true signs of a fun night!!

Saturday I had the pleasure of "quality time" with Josh. As in helping him build the garage! He had one guy to help, but putting up the trusses is at least a three person job. So I was volunteered. And I must say I did pretty well. It took a while to get into a groove, but we got a lot done. It should only take one more day to put up the rest of the trusses. The biggest challenge of this part of the day was keeping the boys out of trouble while we worked!! They did get very dirty and had lots of fun, but no injuries and no potty accidents for Sean while under extreme minimal supervision is definitely a major success!!

Then Saturday after naps we went to Oktoberfest here in town. It was so much fun. The boys loved watching the dancers and dancing themselves. They played in the bounce houses. They played on the playground. They ATE!! We ate and drank. It truly is a wonderful family event.

And then today it was yard work day. Josh mowed and edged. I weeded the garden. The boys played and "helped" us. We had a picnic for lunch. The boys now like to take their lunch up the treehouse!

The rest of the day the boys played and napped. I cleaned and cooked and did laundry. Jack got a new tire on his bike (he wore through the last one skidding too much). He is thrilled!! He missed riding his bike for nearly two weeks now.

So now we are unwinding and getting ready for another crazy week. Our big boy turns five on Thursday. Where does the time go??
