The things summer weekends are made of

July 12, 2011 By Shannah Leave a Comment

Wow, what a busy weekend!  So busy it has taken me until Tuesday to get to telling you about.  Just kidding…Most of our weekend was spent dealing with spill over from the week prior but we did manage to get in a lot of fun stuff too!

Friday afternoon brought us a HUGE rainstorm.  Knowing that H was going to be itching to go play with her friends, I preempted the complaining about not going outside by inviting them over for a movie and pizza!

Baby E wasn’t so interested in Gnomeo and Juliet so she decided to spend his time climbing the window sill

Mathlete has been working long hours and, unfortunately, that includes some weekend days.  So, we didn’t see him for most of Saturday!  Once he got home, we headed over to Rock Boy and Shopaholic’s house for a cook-out.  I absolutely love impromptu gatherings so two days in a row really made me happy.
E is a big fan of ceiling fans and there are two in Rock Boy’s house.  It was hard to get him to focus on anything but those fans.

When she wasn’t getting some Baby E time, shopaholic was slaving away in the kitchen getting dinner ready for us while Rock Boy worked on containing the grease fire grilling up the meat!

With the food all ready, it was time to settle down and eat

It was such a gorgeous night out (rare for July because it is usually so hot!) that we all hung around outside for awhile after dinner before having dessert.

 

Dessert is served to end the night.

Well, except for this guy who insisted on one more drink.

Disclaimer: No babies were given alcohol in the making of this blog (or ever). This bottle was empty and rinsed before he got it.

Sunday brought pool time! H had been begging to go the pool all weekend.  She and Baby E are still both at the age where they need constant supervision at the pool so I am not very comfortable taking them alone.  Mathlete was home with us so we dragged him out to the pool! Someone was very excited

I got a lot more pictures from our pool time but have no idea where they went on the camera. Oops.  We rounded out Sunday with our weekly Sunday “family dinner” which was (apparently) picture free this time around.

 

Did you have a great summer weekend? Are you fortunate enough to have a lot of frequent impromptu get togethers with family and/or friends?
