Weekend Recap: The final few

I can't believe we are down to our last few weekends here before we move.  This coming weekend will be our last full weekend! How did it come so quickly?!

Friday evening Andrew came home from work and we took the boys to the park to play.  It was kind of windy but I want to spend as much time outdoors as we can before winter hits.  Our boys love playing outside so winters can be tough when it gets so, so cold.

The boys' Mimi sent them a new movie in the mail (since most of ours are already packed) so after dinner we did a round of baths and then snuggled on the couch with ice cream as a treat.  I love sweet, simple nights in with our crew.

Saturday I made the boys pancakes.  Hudson has been on this kick of wanting to pick his up to eat so he just gets some peanut butter and is good to go! Beau loves his syrup.  Both devoured almost the whole batch (there were 6!)

After breakfast they played and Gabe napped while Andrew and I started packing some more, taking down some bigger furniture.  It was a really productive morning.  Our town participates in something called the Color Drive.  All the small towns have food vendors, craft vendors and tons of garage sales.  We went to the square and looked around and got the boys corn dogs for lunch.  It was such a beautiful day, and not too chilly in the sun.

A friend of Andrew's stopped by with his family (they live about an hour away but were going around on the Color Drive) so our boys got down for later naps.  They didn't get up from nap until dinner time! I made breakfast for dinner because, yum, then, since it was so nice the night before, we did baths and hung out again! The boys were super tired from all the playing and being outside so went to bed their usual time even though they napped late.  Andrew and I watched The Fault in Our Stars. Serious tear jerker.  I knew it would be but goodness.  And though I loved it for the love story (I mean, c'mon--Gus? Sweetheart!) I also watched it from the parental stand point.  I kept thinking how grateful I am for healthy kiddos and how I couldn't imagine walking through what the parents did.

Sunday Andrew woke up bright and early and headed out to the tree stand.  Well, not bright.  It was too early to be bright.  The boys and I slept in, by which I mean 7, and then began our day of play.  We were outside most of the morning during Gabe's nap.  Then, when Andrew got home, I ran a few errands.  After nap the boys ran errands while I snuggled Gabe.  Then we grilled hamburgers for dinner.  Probably one of the last times we grill this year. Sad day.

It was a pretty low-key weekend but it was a good one. I love weekends that we get so much together time without rushing from one thing to the next.  I know these next few weekends are going to be so hectic I really relish these with nothing to do!

I hope you all had a fantastic weekend and have a wonderful week!
