Movies, Swings, Chefs and Swimmers

What a busy weekend this turned out to be. We originally had nothing planned this weekend, but that changed quickly. Mike came home on Friday with some movies he had borrowed from a co-worker, so we decided to make it a family night and opted to go out to dinner, do a little shopping then come home and make some popcorn and watch a movie together. It turned out really nice. The kids loved the movies and I loved me some  5 Guys and not cooking for dinner.

Saturday morning I was up early. So I got busy and made us some donut holes for breakfast. They were yummy (even if the kids still had to have cereal with them too). Then we were off for a quick errand. We came home and worked on some chores and then took a break to walk to a nearby park and get in some play time.

We came home and grilled some yummy burgers and hotdogs and had a relaxing evening together.
Sunday morning I got up and made some yummy cinnamon roll pancakes. Then the kids were all begging to go swimming so we hit the pool early and got to have the whole thing to ourselves including the slides for about the first 40 minutes. It was really fun. The boys could have played forever. Faith went in for a few minutes here and there. Mostly she wanted to sit on the bench and watch, where she eventually fell asleep. It was a lot of fun.

We came home and rustled up some lunch, then decided to whip up a batch of oatmeal raisin cookies with my 3 littlest chefs assisting. They turned out really good and as a bonus, we dyed them green for St. Patty's Day tomorrow.

Not too shabby of a weekend for having "nothing" to do, if I say so myself.
