Weekends

I remember once upon a time when weekends were relaxing, a break from the daily grind, something to look forward too. I'm pretty sure that right now at this phase of life we are in, weekends are busier and more challenging than the rest of the week. But it's good to be anxiously engaged in good causes, and we do still manage to have some fun each weekend. Below are some pics from this last weekend of some fun stuff, not the work!


On Friday night, Benson and I went on a Mother/Son date. He has been wanting to use his Applebee's certificate, so we went and had some dinner. After dinner we went to the Pet Store to look at some animals there. While we were eating Benson started filling out the Mad Libs that was on his kid's menu. He thought the result was HYSTERICAL and must have read it to me 100 times throughout the evening...ok 100 might be a slight exaggeration, but only slight. When we got home, he read it to Mike and after his first word insertion when Mike did not give a reaction, Benson looked at him and commanded, "Laugh!" Mike paid closer attention and gave better responses thereafter.

Sabrina and Grace continue to be great helpers with Jillian. On Saturday I was trying to get a few things done and Jillian just wanted to be held. Sabrina laid down next to her on the bed and Jilly snuggled right in and fell asleep. So sweet.


Could she be any cuter?


Grace's fancy hairdo for church on Sunday.


Here's hoping for a relaxing weekend sometime in the near future! :)
