I'm sure you all know how thrilled I was to have my boy home with me for an entire weekend! Though I have to admit, it was a strange feeling. I kind of felt like I was "borrowing" him knowing that in just 2 short days I would have to send him back to school. Even though when he woke up Saturday morning I told him we were going to do something super fun that day and his eyes lit up and he said,

"Go to school??"

Umm...No. I was aghast. "NO! You're staying home and doing something fun with Mommy!" Oh my goodness, this is so strange.

So we went to Liturgy (we have it on Sat and Sun mornings here) and then headed off to Home Depot for their Kid's Workshop. It was such a beautiful day that we decided to go to the park and have lunch. So we picked up some sandwiches and fruit and headed off. It was so nice. DH ran around with the boys while I got to sit on a bench and read a book. It was very relaxing, I don't remember the last time I was able to do that. Then we played on the swings for a little and headed home.

On Sunday afternoon we had a Play-Doh picnic. The kids had a blast and I have to admit I thought it was pretty fun too.

When I got ready to take this photo I realized Ace made brown bananas. When I asked him why he made them brown he said "We don't have any more yellow and they turn brown after they sit on the counter too long, right?" Yeah, ok. I'm guilty of letting our bananas go bad on more than one occasion. But, I do make banana bread with old bananas. Less smashing required. :)

After all the fun with pretend food, they started to get hungry and Ace realized that now that he's in school on Mondays he won't be getting his muffin tin lunches at home. So I told him we'd do them on Saturdays from now on. Of course he realized that he missed Saturday so I made them yesterday.
After that we recycled old crayons and made them into crayon necklaces. It's a fun way to use up all the old crayons that are broken, etc. I'll post the instructions and photos soon.

Hope you all had a great weekend!
