A great (photoless) weekend

I seem to keep forgetting my camera!

Our dear friend Carl came over Saturday night to hang out, help baby-proof the kitchen, bring us tomatoes from his garden, and enjoy a meal together on the sun porch (boys included). We miss that he doesn't live around the corner from us anymore!

Sunday was a great day with the boys. The slept in until 7am (!!) and we all enjoyed a breakfast blueberry pancakes together (we're working on eating more meals together as a family). After their morning nap, we brought them to a (new to us) local toddler park. Great concept, but yet again we were outnumbered. Some of their favorite things: eating the wood mulch, eating the sand from the sandbox (by the handful), the swings and sliding head-first down the slide (whether we were ready for them or not). So after much playing in the sun, we drove the few blocks into town for some ice cream.

Monday was the great unveiling of all of Rob's hard work baby-proofing the kitchen. We took down the gates so they could now roam freely from the playroom to the hall to the kitchen to the sun porch. (The dining room and living room are still gated off...for now.) They were so giddy - it was so cute to listen to them squeal with delight and laughing! We enjoyed another family meal together on the porch, enjoying the beautiful evening. A great weekend overall!
