Fall Back and Relax

We had a wonderful low key weekend! Just what we all needed after a long week going in opposite directions.

Friday night we went out for some fancy dining at Chick-fil-a and then did a little shopping at Old Navy. I scored two pairs of jeans for $27 with two 40% off coupons and a rewards coupon and they fit perfect! We came home and played with Jackson. I stayed up late to finish lesson plans so I wouldn't have to think about it all weekend.

Saturday morning I made scrambled eggs, cinnamon rolls, and blueberry bread for breakfast. We all wanted something different:) Then we cleaned, did laundry and pilates, and played with every toy in the house. We stayed in our pjs until lunch time! After Jackson's nap we made a quick run to the Outlet Mall to make a return. It seemed busier than normal, maybe Christmas season has already begun? We enjoyed walking around outside in the beautiful weather. We left and headed straight to the park. Jackson loved playtime and worked on his climbing skills! We were welcomed home to the smells of dinner cooking in the crockpot. I made my own version of chicken spaghetti, and I must say it was very yummy! To wrap up this wonderful day we had our first family movie night. We rented Toy Story 3 and Jackson actually sat and watched it for a long time. I wish I would have taken a picture of us all camped out on the couch with our feet up, oh well. Jackson went to bed later than normal so we were hoping we would benefit from the extra hour of sleep. Nope no such luck!

Our Sunday morning started at 6 am! Although I didn't want to get out of bed I must say it was very plesant not rushing getting ready for church. Since we had time, we took a family picture!

After church Jackson napped and Brian and I rested on the couch! We ran a few errand and then walked to the park. I am loving the afternoon weather! The mornings are a bit cool for me, but the afternoons are close to perfect. Jackson was hard at play but every now and then he would stop for to give a hug or an eskimo kiss! How sweet is that?

He practiced his climbing some more. I think he has it pretty much mastered!

We had homemade pizza for dinner and are hanging out at home for the remainder of our weekend. I love that we were able to spend the weekend together taking it one hour at a time and not rushing to go anywhere specific. Thank you Lord for blessing us with a weekend together! I am just hoping Jackson isn't up at 5 am tomorrow since he is already in bed!
