the best

We had the BEST weekend. Just family time. March and April were kind of a whirlwind. And we missed each other. Ben was suppossed to go on a fishing trip this weekend but it had rained so much that they couldn't. For once, I was thankful for the days and days and days of rain. Friday night we had dinner as a family, Ben set up for the lacrosse banquet, and then we went family grocery shopping at WalMart. Ted found my camera and took some pictures.


Waiting for Daddy to get the car b/c it was monsooning for the 8th day in a row.

Ted's boo-boo

waiting in the checkout line. it was monsooning on the way in - hence the drowned rat look on both of us.
Saturday morning we got up and with nothing to do and no where to be. Ted was singing songs on his stage so Ben got his guitar out. Ted got out his shaker thing and Sophie was really interested. She really hasn't seen Ben play his guitar much.




In between bursts of rain, Ben mowed (mostly weedeated) the yard. He was COVERED in wet grass.

Saturday night, Ben and I went out on a date. We haven't been on a date in several months. We had done so well all fall, but once spring rolled around things kind of faded. We had a great dinner together and just browsed around some stores. I set off the alarms at every store. It was kind of funny. It was so nice to just be out together. We laughed a lot.
Sunday Ben didn't have to lead worship. It was a great Mother's Day gift to go to church as a family! And Ben even filled in for an open spot in the nursery. We had family nap time Sunday afternoon. Sophie wore this cute dress to church - she was so sweet! It was a great weekend overall.

Wow Ted looks like a big little boy! It's weird that I haven't seen him in so long. Glad you guys had a date night. It's fun when you look at each other and say, "I knew I liked you! (: I always knew I married you for some reason!" (: Sometimes it's tough to have those moments amidst craziness.
