Another Busy Weekend

Since school started back it feels like it has been a whirlwind.  As we were curriculum mapping today, I realized we have been back to school for 5 weeks now!  As if life wasn't busy enough going back to school ( both Matt and I at new jobs), the weekends have been jam packed.

Here are a few highlights from last weekend:

After I spent the better part of the day at a workshop (it has been a long time since I have done that!) and Matt watched the kiddos, we drove back to Aloha Tower as soon as I got home to meet Matt's friend from high shcool, Jim and his wife Andrea, for dinner at Gordon Biersh.  It was such a fun night and Zack and Abby were fabulous.  We had a great dinner and it was so fun to connect with some of Matt's old friends.

The whole crew. We even got Zack's stroller in the picture since he was sleeping like a perfect angel..he is such a trooper!

Sunday, believe it or not, was the FIRST time I took both kids out by myself.  Matt and I both were off all summer and we have done a lot as a family or had the opportunity to split the kids and run a man to man defense:).  Matt has been so helpful since I had class this week on Wednesday and some other stuff going on so I encouraged him to take a day to play while I took the kids.  He got to go play disc golf and I took the kids shopping ad to baby Colton's 1st birthday party. 

I couldn't have asked for a better experience with both kids.  They were so good while I shopped for at least an hour...I have a bad habit of roaming stores aimlessly.

We had a great time at Colotn's birthday party too.

Abby is getting bigger and it is fun to see her tag along with Makaela  (almost 3 yrs) and Brooke (a little over 2 years).

The boys even got to play.  Zack is almost 5 months and Colton a 1 year.  It is amazing how sitting it doesn't look like there is that much difference,
