While Daddy was away....

This weekend was a double header weekend in t-ball.  A game Friday and one on Saturday.  This picture is actually from a few weeks ago, but I love it because Reid is so focused on watching what his coach is telling him to do!

That particular game was so cold, Reid got to wear his batman gloves.  A little proud moment there, no doubt! Batman & Red Sox go hand in hand, right?

On Thursday after I picked them up from school, Reid was full of stories about his 100th day of school party!  I don't remember ever celebrating the 100th day of school!  This is such a neat tradition!

The boys & I had fun hanging together just me & them all weekend long.  We found lots of fun stuff to do...

On Saturday, I took the boys to our neighborhood painting place and they got to paint a canvas for $5.  This was Riley's 1st time to do this & he was SO proud!  He even asked for more paints!

The boys got to sit outside & eat meals on their new patio table we got!  We christened it with corny dogs on the first night.  Way to go mama on the healthy eating! It is so fun that they have a place of their very own and it fits them perfectly!

I got to go out on Thursday night to paint a picture of my own at our local painting place.  A little peacock feather action!  It was a fun night with friends!  I'm not an artist, but it sure is fun to act like one... :)

On Sunday, Reid helped me clean out our flower beds.  We never quite got to the planting part, but he was my big Mr. Helper today!

At some points, it was not his favorite thing to do, but he seemed proud & happy with all of our hard work.  :)  Now we just need some plants to fill up all those holes in the ground!

It turned out to be a great weekend with the kids and although we missed Daddy, I definitely bonded more with the kids and got more time with them to play & hang out than I usually do.  

The boys and I are so glad you're home safe!  We missed you tons! Here's to a new week... May here we go!
