Another busy weekend...

Once again we had a busy but fun weekend. On Friday night, Mark and I went to dinner with John and Chris. It was wonderful!! Court babysat Maddi for us so that we could have an adult night and it was so nice. Mark and I do not ever really get to do that, so we took a chance and let her try and it went well. She did a great job. We were only gone for 2 hours and were at the Beechwood Inn which is about 20 minutes down the road, so we were close enough to home just in case something happened. When we got home Court asked us if we had a good time and when we said yes, she told us that we needed to do that more often. Don't know when that will happen again, but at least we know that we can trust her. On Saturday, Mark had an out of town softball tournament so our afternoon, 1:30pm-9:00pm, was spent on the softball field. We were wet and cold the entire time. The temp was not that bad, but when you are constantly being rained on it gives you that bone chill that is hard to get rid of until you take a hot shower. It was fun though and the girls were little angels. They NEVER complained one time! That made the day go a lot easier!! When it rained too hard, they spent some time in the back of my Acadia messing around. Payton, Maddi, Shelby and Court were the only kids that went, so it worked out well. The 2 older ones took care of the 2 little ones, well most of the time anyway. Then today we had church and then Melissa, Howie, Shelby, Austin, Erica, Ed, Luke and Payton came over for dinner. We had grilled pork chops, fresh corn on the cob, greenbean casserole, potatoes, bread and homemade cheesecake and lots of coffee. It was sooo yummy. They hung out until about 5:00pm and then we traded a few kids and all was done for another weekend. If we weren't busy, then we would not know what to do with ourselves, so I guess we just keep on going and going!! Hope all of you have a wonderful week. Looks like our weather is going to warm up a bit this week, so guess we will enjoy these last couple of days before the girls go back to school. Until next time.......
