Our Weekend in Pictures

It was an extra-long weekend for us for the Fourth of July holiday. We stayed close to home and had a good balance of rest-n-relaxation and 'getting stuff done' around the house. We didn't end up seeing fireworks because those were past the kids' bedtime, but still managed to sneak in plenty of fun and made some nice memories, too! Here are some snapshots from our weekend:

 Morning snacks - these little BFFs love to share a chair

 Charlie and Mommy made chocolate Reese's cookies - they were delish!

 A barefoot walk around the 'hood - with snacks, of course!

 Maddie had her 2 year checkup on Friday- this petite angel is 23 lbs and a healthy, growing girl!

 After naps on Friday we played out back with the water table - one of our favorite summer toys

 ...and had a cone or two  :)   It is summer, after all!

 Then we found a froggy! The kids are both animal-obsessed so this made them so happy

 Dad power washed the siding and the porch - the house is looking so fresh and so clean now!

 Char Char got his nap mat for preschool and was so excited to try it....

 ...and he even fell asleep in it!

 Saturday morning playground sesh- hot but fun!

 This is a fun playground - def a fan favorite

 Charlie is adventurous!

 We made it to the pool Saturday afternoon - the kids love the froggy slide!!! Maddie is fearless

 Then we went to dinner at Victory Brewing Company Saturday night- Charlie got lemonade as a treat!

 And sister got milk in a big-girl cup

 I had two amazing helpers for the Sunday grocery run

Maddie got her own cart like a big kid for the first time

 The grocery store now has a robot named Marty - the kids love him!

 My big helpers - they love getting groceries and know exactly what we need

 Sweet Maddie in her special 'Frozen' dress from her best buds, Bennett and Miles

 We went to the park as a family on Sunday evening - Charlie loves riding his scooter

 Princess Maddie's favorite thing at the playground is the slide

 Sweet girl loves to PLAY

He goes super fast! 

After a fun weekend, this guy passed out hard ... in his nap mat!  Hehe 

Sister was out like a light, too. Sweet dreams, babies!
