Wild Weekends

Our weekends are such prized possessions these days. We have found ourselves so busy lately that we cherish time when we can just hang out with our family. This weekend is full of beautiful weather and lots of time to just be together. There are moments when the two older kids are bickering or tormenting each other, but there are other times when they are so sweet and kind. Like last night at Relay for Life.....Ben has to attend with school an monitor his students, although he doesn't spend the night anymore! But we have gone for the past several years and it is an inspiring experience. Seeing so many people affected by cancer is humbling and seeing kids come together for a greater cause and come up with creative ways to raise money is motivating. Alexis and Max had a grand time with all the high school girls playing duck duck goose, freeze tag, and hide and go seek (free babysitters!). It was quite humorous seeing 16 year olds play duck duck goose. They jumped on the inflatables. Alexis always waiting for Max and holding hands as they came down.



Ok so they are not holding hands in that picture but you can still believe me!!!!!

This morning we went to Home Depot to buy our garden supplies. In our never ending quest to eat more naturally (always room for improvement), we usually have a garden. This year we are planting cucumbers, peppers, zucchini, basil, cilantro, and Rosemary. Can't wait to cook with those herbs!!!!!




Ben is in his glory!!!!!

Then we headed to Taste of East Cobb. Great idea and well planned except they really underestimated the number of people so it was all really close together when they could have had a whole parking lot to spread out. But we did try some good food and the kids has fun. They even got to make their own guacamole at Chipotle! It was pretty good too!



Next event is tonight. We are having a Kids Night Out at my office. Good for promoting Ben's DJ venture and good way to make sone extra money. Not many entities out there for watching and entertaining special needs kids for a few hours on a Saturday night. So tell your friends people!!!!!!!!
