This past weekend was pretty laid back... lots of working around the house. Matt has been busy building shelves in the garage (LOVE my handy man!!) so the the clothes bins, bicycles, tools, everything has a place. And it's not in a pile in the middle! :) Thursday night we went swimming over at my mom's pool... it was Ella's first official time in the pool and she LOVED it! Ethan is still as unsure as ever... he is always SO cautious, especially around water. Most days showers are a forced event... with one of us having to hold in the water the whole time.... the other kids we have to use our hands to drag them out! :) We met my Mom & Dad there, and ordered pizzas and let the kids swim a bunch of energy out and then Savannah, Eli and Lucy went to spend the night at MawMaws. What a wonderful bedtime break! I laughed that night thinking to myself how excited I was to "only" have 2 kids, even the littlest ones at that! That must mean we have a bunch of littles running around when 2 is a break (when that's still more than the "typical" family has!). Bedtime was super easy, both babies laid straight down and slept all night. What a blessing both spending some quiet time with my husband was, and solid sleep for a few hours! A good time was had by all!
Saturday was spent around the house mostly, working on some projects. We did run to town for a few errands and found our way back at my favorite sno-cone hut for a little refreshing. I don't know how that happened! :) Sunday was Church in the am, then later we went and got a new (to us!) crib for the new baby! Exciting! I am 30 weeks this week - SO hard to believe and the "big" day will be here before we know it! Can't wait to meet this little person and put a name to him or her! :) I'm so thankful there has never been a major disagreement over names between us - we know some people who are seriously in a pretty heated debate over their next babies name, and they are not even pregnant yet! Lol . Crazy! I mean sure, there are some I like he doesn't and vice versa, but we always come to a compromise. At least before delivery day :) Sunday afternoon S, E, & L had Bible Fact Finders and then we all had worship. Of course we had to play "wall ball" after service - Eli's new favorite thing EVER. It's very complicated - all the young (and some not so young!) boys stand in the grass and throw a tennis ball at the wall. Serious stuff here folks. At least to the boys that play it. Eli even asks to wear certain shoes/socks/shorts based on their "fastness" for him to play in. :) Love it! After church the Sims family came over to look at the "supermoon" we had last night. We certainly enjoyed their company as usual, and the kids loved having them over as well! I am still amazed every time I look through the telescope... God was so amazing in His detail! If you have never seen the moon, Saturn or ring galaxies through a telescope, you seriously need too! It is truly breathtaking! Today, Monday, Savannah was up at Church with the K-3 group helping to pull weeds around the playground, and in the flower beds. She was a very hard worker! And they rewarded her with 3 popsicles. :) Afterwards we headed to Costco to pick up the cake for tonight's team party. Matt's two baseball teams, the Dixie Darlings and the Bad News Bears are having their end of the year party tonight. Everyone is super excited! It is at the Scottsboro splash pad... so awesome if you have never been!!. So looking forward to seeing everyone, enjoying watching them play in the water, eat some cake and ice cream and celebrate baseball being over :)
