Weekend Bliss

Like most people, I enjoy the weekend. Usually it doesn't vary much from the rest of the week (since we have two small children), but every once in a while we have an eventful one like this weekend. I must say. it was particularly good!


Saturday we made the long drive out to Odessa Missouri to pick pears and apples (thank you Bob and Ginger!) with some of our favorite people; Lindsey, Emery, and Adelynn.

Our 'helpers' mostly took bites out of the fruit before retiring and playing in the sprinkler, but that gave Lindsey and I plenty of time to daydream about our future houses (with an orchard and gardens of course!)

We got a little sweaty hauling in our load since the temperature was 100+ but it was worth it!

Later that night I got to go on a real date night with the husband! We went to see the Royals play against the Twins (and win!) with some friends. A kid-free night, the husband, a beer, and a hot dog. It was amazing.

Then Sunday morning, perhaps feeling a little guilty for having so much fun without them, we took the girls to get donuts and then to the park to eat them. (and by that I mean we ate them in front of poor Marinn.) It was little kid heaven. There was even chocolate milk.

We ended it with a girls night at my sister-in-laws house watching the finale of The Bachelorette. We probably only watched a handful of the shows between us but it seemed like as good a reason as any to make an occasion of it! It was even made complete with chocolate covered strawberries, champagne, and red roses, of course!
