113 - 119

Another week gone...this one seemed to breeze right by.  Mike has this Saturday and Sunday afternoon free (a rare occurrence!)  We took advantage of our free time and cleaned out the kids toys, packing about half of them up to give away.  Then we enjoyed a lunch at McDonalds (another rare occurrence) followed by ice cream in the afternoon.  Then Saturday evening we had our friends, the Roberts', over for an impromptu BBQ.  Delicious deer smokies, cuddles with the baby, and a lovely visit. The girls loved playing together, and as always had a hard time saying good-bye.  Sunday morning we enjoyed spending time with our church family, a bit of fun in the sprinkler in the afternoon (Rebecca insisted, even though it was far too cold in my opinion!), a nice little rain shower while we rested inside, then pancakes for supper and a fire to make S'mores before bed.  Overall, one of the best weekends we have had in a long time!

Here's our week at a glance...

22 April 2012 - We spent the afternoon with our friends at the Aerospace Museum.  Rebecca climbed in this balloon and started tapping dials saying, "How high should we go matey?  Okay, it's 20 degrees to Greece."

23 April 2012 - A beautiful evening to enjoy ice cream outside.  This was the last picture where the hammock was still usable.  About 5 minutes later, Mike and Anastasia climbed in, rocked a few seconds and plunged to the ground as the old rope snapped.

24 April 2012 - The girls and I planted our peas today.  Of course, the girls had to wear their best dresses to do gardening, and work gloves to protect their hands from the mud.  :-)

25 April 2012 - A picture from one of the days we were at Aunty Angie's house.  

26 April 2012 - One of the days that Mike took the kids to the park.  Jesse and his buddy Tyler sharing Mike's jacket.

27 April 2012 - Nothing like a little Lego building before Jesse has to catch his school bus.

28 April 2012 - Aunty Ang came and took us out for some ice cream.  What a nice treat!
