Weekend Recap

We have had such a fun weekend. Richard was out of town from Wednesday till Friday (and we survived!!) so we were glad to have lots of fun things going on this weekend. Friday night one of my best friends had her baby, Presley Jane, and we were so thankful for her safe arrival. Amie and Alan did not find out if they were having a boy or a girl, so it was extra exciting for this baby to arrive! I went to their house Friday night and stayed with their 16 month old so that Alan's mom could go meet Presley. We are so happy for them and their sweet baby girl!!

We had a "cove" party on Saturday. Our neighbor started cooking ribs pretty early in the day, so all the kids played outside all day long. We had to take a quick break and go to a birthday party (Happy 1st Birthday Chandler!). When we got back home it was time to eat! There were SO many people and SO much food--it was unbelievable! Our neighbors really know how to throw a party! The best part of the night was another neighbor had this HUGE screen and projector for us to all watch Monsters vs. Aliens on. It was like being at a drive-in. Everyone had their chairs, blankets, and treats!! It was so much fun--we are going to try and do the movie once a month (once the weather gets a little warmer). Here are a few pictures from movie night (the pictures really do not do justice to how big this screen was--it took 2 cars to hold the screen up!!)



Since there was so much food leftover, our neighbors had us over tonight for more ribs and some pumpkin carving! This was our first time to carve a pumpkin and it turned out pretty good. Here are a few pictures from tonight (I forgot to take a close-up of the finished product--I got one at night with the kids making silly faces!)

For some reason Emily likes to play outside in her PJ's...
