Just a weekend that we needed. Mamaw & papaw graciously volunteered to keep the kids (all the kids) on Friday night...over night. As you can guess, there really wasn't much hesitation on our part. We figured if the older two were there then Paislee would stay just fine. This was her first time to stay away with someone else other than mom and dad. As we figured, she did just fine. In fact she slept in until 8 am, usually she is up around 7 or so. Josh and I enjoyed a date night Friday night at one of our favorite place, Puccini's, then went for dessert at the Cheesecake Factory. It was a nice evening out with just us. Saturday morning we got up and enjoyed some cheesecake for breakfast then were off to Home Depot to get some home repair type items. Josh and I had a "to-do" list and since the kids were gone we were going to try and get some chores done.
One of my chores was to get our seeds for our garden and get them planted. This year we are starting them all indoors in a "greenhouse" type environment then we will transplant outside. The kids really like watching these to see if any little seedlings come up. While I was playing in the dirt, Josh was busy fixing towel racks and putting new hinges on the kitchen cabinets. Nothing hotter than a man and his drill, huh?:-)
Another one of our to-do's was to get the kid's bikes fixed. We had some bikes handed down to us from Sarah and her crew. One of the bikes needed to new tires, tubes, training wheels...basically everything. By the time we went to Walmart to get all these items we found it was cheaper to buy a new bike. So, guess what? The Easter bunny dropped off two new bikes for some very happy kids. Just a FYI...the Easter bunny doesn't usually bring gifts this big, usually just lots of candy.
Chaney likes to accessorize her bike with her purses.
All in all it was a good weekend. We were finally able to get out tonight and enjoy the bikes on a short bike ride without the wind blowing them off of their bikes. I'm sure these will provide lots of entertainment this summer.
