The return of date night!

Yay! We decided to start up date nights again with our friends. We haven't done them since Callie was born. So, last night we watched our friends kids and tonight they are watching ours. It went pretty well(besides the fact that I was wiped out from being at the beach). Brent and I are hopefully going "geocaching" if the weather cooperates. (Thanks Erin and Ben for letting us borrow your GPS!) I am really excited to go, I hope it is as fun as it sounds. I think we'll pack a picnic for supper. I've pumped(and hopefully not scarred the boys too much, they were staring at me oddly the whole time. So much for privacy) the last two mornings and should have enough for Callie. It'll be my first time leaving her with someone other than Gma Debbie, but we'll have our cell phones.

We had a busy weekend with the Norman family reunion. There were lots more people there than I was expecting. It was nice to meet Brent's cousins and see his brothers and sisters again. Hunter really enjoyed playing with Uncle Joe. They played trucks and tractors for a LONG time. You can tell by his face he really likes Uncle Joe:
It was also nice seeing our nephew, Matty. He has passed Callie up in size by a lot! Here are some pics of the family(minus Jason and Fawnda who I didn't get a picture of :( :




On Sunday night we went kite flying with our friends. It was really fun. Brent and I both felt like kids again flying kites. We played at the playground nearby and ran and walked around the track with the kids, so they slept great that night. I wanted to take some pictures, but I was too busy having fun.

We went to the beach again yesterday and spent most of the day there. The kids floated around and got all sandy. The kids fell asleep on the way back and napped some in the van before our friends kids came.

I thought we'd take it easy this morning, but I again feel worn out. I pushed both the boys on the swing, made several walks around the house, worked on teaching Hunter how to write his name with chalk, read lots of books, did a puzzle, did a sticker puzzle, folded two loads of laundry and made lunch. I'll be glad for the fun break tonight. Hunter told me as he was eating lunch that I "was a good momma." Its good to hear that once in a while. I've been feeling like this a lot of times lately.
