So I have obviously taken a little blog break. We have been just hanging out a bunch and enjoying lots of family time. We have enjoyed each moment. Ross and I have spent days together just hanging out and it has been so fun! So, I do have to play a big catch-up game soon, as there are things I still want to blog about and not forget. But for now, I will just do my 10 on the 10th...
We went out of town last weekend and part of the week for a waterpark adventure, so this Saturday was pretty low key.
1. Woke up to a sleepy boy... We always go to bed and tell the kids that they can sleep in in the morning! We never make it past 7! Zoey gets up and hops right out of bed. Max slowly wakes up. It is a perfect time to get in some snuggles with him!
2. Ross usually does breakfast on the weekends if we are just hanging out at home. Zoey was helping, making some croissants...
3. A little later in the morning I wanted to make my self a coffee house treat!!
4. Max recently got a haircut and we convinced him to try some "product." He wasn't liking the application, but the end result was good!
5. And who doesn't get excited about a package? Thanks Mom and Dad!
6. Zoey is getting prepared for soccer. She and I have been doing a little conditioning! She runs so hard and so much in her soccer games, and she is so competitive that she goes until she exhausts herself (and hasn't quite learned how to pace herself), so I figured we could do a little running to help her out. It is fun! Ross got this picture of us being silly as we ran by...
I'm still in denial about how big she's getting. Her legs look long here.
7. After our run, we joined the boys in the backyard. I think Ross definitely missed some of the yard duties while he was gone. And me, well, I just did enough to survive... We enjoyed getting in the dirt and feeling some sunshine. (60's and 70's even this coming week!!)
8. Just a shot of Zoey in the yard...
9. After playing in the dirt, we got cleaned up and headed to church...
Two funny stories about our church adventure...
Max: As we were walking out, Max was just strutting along... We have pictures along the wall for the Stations of the Cross, and one of them is when Jesus falls for the second time and shows him carrying the cross and kneeling down and there is someone behind him. Max looks up at it and just yells, "CRASH". And then elaborated a little about how the other guy almost fell on him, too and he fell because that cross was just too heavy! That is typical Max. He knows what is going on, knows the story, but just puts his humor into it.
Zoey: We were singing a song and it talked about how tender God's love and mercy is. She started giggling and asked, "why are they using THAT word to talk about God?" (meaning "tender") So, I started to answer, but stopped and decided to ask her if she knew what it meant. She said she did, "It means that the steak is GOOD!" HAHA!
10. And nothing like a little Chick Fil-A for dinner! Not necessarily my favorite choice but at 6:30 on a Saturday, we don't have a lot of choices that don't require a huge wait... This kid is satisfied, however:
We made a list of places we wanted to go to and restaurants we wanted to eat at since Ross didn't get anything while in Afghanistan. One of the kids requests was to get in PJ's at night and head thru the drive thru of a local ice cream/custard place... We ended our fun night with that! Too dark for pictures.
