We are back in the school routine around here, but we all enjoyed having a long three-day weekend to relax and spend time with friends.
Here's a quick snapshot of my boys after school on Friday. It was College Colors Day and they were decked out in their Notre Dame shirts.
Another Friday highlight was the arrival of new magazines. Will especially loves Muse.
On Saturday, we went down to Galveston for the afternoon and evening to spend time with our good friends Jonathan and Julie and their kids. We splashed in the water, made muddy holes in the ground, watched shore birds, and most of all, enjoyed the company of old friends.
Gene and Jonathan have been friends since law school! There's something special about old friends -- even though we hadn't seen them in over a year, we just picked right up where we left off. We had such a great time with them and the kids played so well together that we are already looking forward to another adventure in Galveston with them!
On Sunday, we had another set of old friends over for dinner. Candice and Andy and their crew came by and we were so busy cooking and catching up that I never managed to get my camera out. It was a fun time as always with them.
Monday was a very relaxed day. We cooked and read and played games. The boys played a rousing game of wiffle ball in the backyard. It was the King Crocs (Henry and Will) vs. The Flours (Gene). Team names at our house are always based on the t-shirts worn at that particular time.
After a lovely pizza dinner in the backyard, we broke out the Bertie Bott's Every Flavor Beans. The boys have been so anxious to try them! Will's container was full of the most disgusting flavors -- vomit, ear wax, dirt, earthworm, soap, rotten egg and pepper with only a handful of tasty treats like candy floss and green apple.
I hope your weekend was full of sweet adventures!
