Weekend fun

October 24, 2018

On Friday night of last week Robert and Maxwell went on their cub scout campout. Thankfully it wasn’t nearly as cold as last year and they had pre-constructed tents to sleep in! Hardly roughing it at all!

(yes, that is the best picture I got from Robert!)

I decided to be nice and let the Bobbsey twins sleep with me back at home. Considering how pitiful I slept with the two of them in the bed I’m pretty sure I was the one roughing it! ha!

On Saturday night, I took the kids to see the Kidz Bop concert! Well, I took 2 of my kids. Spencer decided to go to a birthday party he got invited to so Maxwell got to invite Jack to come with us. We met up with some friends before and everyone was excited…

We were up in the cheap seats but it was fine. The kids enjoyed it and everyone was dancing along in their seat…well, mostly everyone. ๐Ÿ™‚

Samantha really didn’t like it when it got too loud in there though! ha!

My favorite line of the night was when she turned to me during one song and said excitedly, “Momma! Alvin, Simon, and Theodore sing this song!” Love her.

Can’t wait to take them all to a real concert someday!!

Finally her first day

August 28, 2018

Samantha finally went back to school yesterday and it all went GREAT! As I said on IG, she was off to conquer the world…or at least 3K! And she sure looked cute doing it…

This child. Oh, I love her.

She was a little whiny first thing in the morning saying she didn’t want to go, then we had a bit of a dress drama, but she ended up being all smiles by the time we left.

She walked on in and, although she gave some funny faces and stayed pretty quiet…

Falling Creek

August 21, 2018

Robert and Maxwell spent the weekend at the Father Son event at Falling Creek camp in North Carolina. Considering Maxwell came home saying he wants to go for 2 weeks next summer, I’d say it was a great weekend!! Ready to head out Friday afternoon…

and getting all settled in their cabin.

Throughout the weekend they learned all kinds of valuable life skills like how to throw a hatchet…

how to throw a spear…

how to shoot a rifle…

and how to shoot a bow and arrow!

I’m sure all of those skills will come in handy soon! ๐Ÿ˜‰ ย They also played warrior ball where apparently Maxwell was the champion of more than one game!

And they swam in the lake and went on the zipline…

These two had the best adventure and I’m so glad they got to go!

Can’t wait for next summer! (actually I can wait because the thought of Maxwell being gone for 2 weeks – or even 1 week – makes me want to cry but I know he’ll love it!!)
