Family Time

This weekend we had a laid back "family time" weekend (as Sydney calls it when the four of us are together). 

Saturday morning I got up and tried to run 4 miles (ufda), while Patrick made breakfast.  Then we made a trip into town and got some groceries and made a Fleet Farm stop.  Got home in time for lunch.  The rest of the day we just hung out until supper, painting nails and playing in the garage. We grilled steaks and asparagus, followed by a camp fire and s'mores!  Yummy!  Was nice chatting with my hubby by the fire, listening to the girls play and giggle. 

This morning we had a lazy morning and made our way to church.  It's been a while since we'd been to church and was nice that my kids weren't the "noisy/loud ones" for once.  ;)   After church we headed home for lunch and Patrick took the girls to run an errand.  When they came back it was time for Karsyn's nap and I had planned to take Sydney to see The Lorax.  My plan was to have Karsyn napping so Syd and I could make a clean get away, but it didn't work out that way....  So as we headed out the door and I could hear Karsyn screaming "I wowax (lorax) too!"  Then I heard Patrick promise her a 4 wheeler ride and all was good!  It's nice to have some one on one time with Syd, and a movie date was just perfect.  The Lorax is our favorite Dr Seuss book and we had been anxiously waiting for a time to get to see it.  When we got home Karsyn had just woke up from her nap and we played outside the rest of the day.  Sydney tested out her skills on her new "big girl bike" she got for her birthday and did great!  She rode that thing for at least two hours (without training wheels) and she was wet with sweat when she was done.  Sydney then decided it was time to give her old bike to Karsyn so we put the training wheels on and let Karsyn give it at try....she isn't too sure about it but will sit on it and get off and push it to where she wants to go.  Patrick gave the girls 4 wheeler rides while I made supper, burgers and potatoes on the grill!  Then we headed back outside for some more bike riding and then it was bath time and bed!  What a great weekend!  Its been a while since the four of us have been home....on a weekend....with no plans!
