OuR WeEkeNd!~

Today we went to church, came home, and ate lunch. While I was cleaning up, Jorge was in the playroom building a house of legos with Reuben. Jace decided he wanted to drive....and he was going and going and going....until all of a sudden it was silent. I couldn't hear the wheels anymore, so I went looking....this is what I found: Sound asleep. He didn't even wake up as I twisted his body out of the car. Jorge had been gone for a few days, and we hadn't been home- so we thought we'd skip any chores or errands that needed done and just spend time with each other. AND of course, that means movies and popcorn! Luckily I got a shot of the boys before the popcorn turned over. I loved how they were just hanging out together, not annoyed that the other might be in the other's personal comfort space....just watchin' a movie and eating popcorn.
So we had a fun, somewhat lazy weekend. I asked Reuben what kind of cookies he wanted to make this weekend. (thinking he'd probably want cowboy cookies) His answer was: CHOCOLATE and KETCHUP! So I told him I would make him chocolate and ketchup cookies...I made brownies and accidently forgot to put the ketchup in! Hope you all had a good weekend!

Happy "Hawolleen" party! thanks mercedes!!!

saturday night fun

Tonight after I gave the boys a bath, Jorge asked for us to come outside for a minute. I was so confused as to why (especially since it meant a 99.9% chance of getting dirty again and needing to bathe in the morning before church)....until I saw it. the turtle. This was no ordinary turtle. It was not shy, did not hide from us, and walked very fast (ok- it ran). So what did my boys do??? THEY ROPED IT. poor turtle. I'd run too! But they had a blast! maybe jorge should start a new sport. I'd worry less if my boys were roping turtles instead of big steers!
