Memorial Weekend

Last weekend, yes a week later, we had a very relaxing and fun weekend. The boys school had their end of the year picnic on Friday afternoon, which was tons of fun. We then had our weekly trip to the farmers market. Then that night Andy got the feeling for camping, so the boys had their first camp out. They surprisingly made it through the whole night. Andy said they got up a couple of times to pee, but other than that did good. Cale told me the other day that next time he wants to camp out with fire outside his tent so that he can see at night. They did take their flashlights out with them, but I think they were a little nervous about not having nightlights. It's not like the one in their room puts out that much light either since it is an LCD one, they ripped the light bulb ones apart when they were a year old and so we went with safer ones.

Saturday Andy took the boys on a bike ride, he pedaled and they rode in the bike trailer. I went to run some much needed errands. After our afternoon nap we took the boys bowling for the first time. I was able to find some good coupons online. Actually Buffalo Lanes in Cary is doing a anniversary special where you get three games free and one free shoe rental. Well Andy and I have our own shoes, we use to bowl a lot before kids, and so the guy there was nice enough to give us two specials! So the whole afternoon cost us $3.50! That is my kinda outing.

Sunday and Monday were nothing too exciting. Sunday we heard John Rosemond speak at our church. He is the author of "Parenting By the Book" and many other books. This is an awesome parenting book and we love his style of parenting! If you haven't read it then I highly recommend it. The boys rode their bikes to the school down the street. This was a big feat for them. Carter took right off and I was practically jogging beside him. Cale on the other hand was a little hesitant. He made Andy keep his hand on the handle bars at all times. It is funny how usually they totally flip flop on who is more cautious.
