WHEW!!!

WOW! what a fast weekend! I dont think we could of added anymore into it if we tried (well perhaps mowing the lawn could of been included-but we will not mention that to Garret!...again...sigh...)

Friday we had dinner with my parents- Ethan spent the night to get away to the absolute love of his life- his GRANDMOTHER- and away from the three startchy virgos he lives with! :)

Then Saturday we hit the Matthews Alive festival and 91 steamy degrees! We enjoyed a fast lunch and a look around then headed for home. After a well needed nap we headed to the dollar movies to watch Ice Age-Return of the Dinosaurs! Emelia sat for the entire thing-with a bit of bribbery (two lollipops, two pieces of gum and a piece of candy!)

Bright and early Sunday we packed up lunch and headed for Crowder's Mountain! It was beautiful! We enjoyed an awesome hike up to the turnaround trail...we did not dare try the whole trail to the pinnacle but the kids did great! We hiked for about 2 1/2 hours! Then we headed for ice cream with Aunt Kara and her firend DOC before returning home exhausted.

Monday morning brought fun and games at the "Y". We grabbed our soccer balls and played soccer on the unused fields! Boy the kids were the happiest just running around on REAL GRASS-some day people...some day we will have real grass around our house! We headed to the park to try and get Ethan over his fear of heights--not this day! Then we went to Grandma and Grandpa's for an awesome labor day bbq!

SO WHEW! We were a busy lot but today brought Ethan's first day of school and tomorrow will bring Emelia's! And if that wasn't enough....we head to Crestwood Retreat for an awesome weekend in the mountains on Friday! I am excited to say it will be another weekend of WHEW!
