The post about our vacation will be coming, I promise, sometime fairly soon. Meanwhile, I thought I'd give a brief update on this past weekend.
On Saturday we attended the wedding of some friends. It was a small gathering, which made it nice in that we knew a good percentage of the people. The ceremony was held outside in a pretty little garden spot that was, thankfully, in the shade (Saturday and Sunday were in the 90's). The wedding was at 10:30 a.m, followed by pictures and then the reception - sit down lunch and dancing afterwards. The boys were a lot of fun to watch on the dance floor, they "danced" even when no one else was out there. The whole family had a great time. Congratulations Brandon and Kat! Thanks for inviting us.
After the boys finished tearing up the dance floor, we drove home, arriving just before 3:00 p.m., changed clothes and went across the street to the birthday party of Samantha, who is Will's age (5). They had a great big inflatable bouncy castle which all the kids loved and got hot and sweaty on. There was stuff to dress up in, Snow White was doing make up on the girls and tattoos on the boys and things to dress up in. The kids had a great time.
Then it was home for a bath before bed - no need for supper with all the food eaten and the boys having enjoyed cake on two occasions during the day. The bath cleaned off all the sweat and grime, leaving the bath water with a good brown tinge.
On Sunday we went to church as normal, went to On the Border for lunch and home for naps. I broke out the fans to try and cool us off - we were resisting turning on the A/C as we like our rather low electric bill. Then we sat around a laptop and watched Mary Poppins, the first time for all the kids. Supper followed, then some play and then bed time.
Thus ends our tale. It was a good weekend for all, except for the heat. The A/C did get turned on today in the afternoon as the thermometer outside reached close to 97 degrees. Some things are just worth paying for.

As the person who turned on the AC I'll second that with a hearty AMEN! Though for all the folks down South I'll say that it was only 90 degrees in the house with a decent breeze blowing through the open windows. Alone I could have endured just fine (come from Arkansas I know HOT!!! and this wasn't it) but the 3 kids were CRANKY! and SWEATY! and just thinking about cooking supper in 90 degrees was making me feel the same way. = )
Sounds like a good weekend. Glad to hear the boys enjoyed shaking what their momma gave them! : )
What did they think of Mary Poppins?
I hope you had a great vacation. Nice to see ya back!
