Best weekend in CT

There's no hiding that I've struggled to adjust to living with all these people and pets with new challenges and drastic changes, as if two growing children don't create enough of the latter two on their own. However, I had an absolute great weekend. I can't even remember everything that happened because SO much happened. But it was like when I say I just want to have a good weekend, this would be the weekend to recreate. So Saturday, we got up ate breakfast and D, the two kids, and I went for a walk. Honestly poor timing on our part lead for a humous walk. Apparently there was a walk to raise money for the Elementary school and it went into our neighborhood. Mind you, we live in small town, usa so there isn't one elementary school per neighborhood. We have three for the whole town. We pass by neighbors that have set-up water stands with watermelon and fun things and people wearing numbers pinned to their shirt. There were road blocks and people wearing orange shirts I suppose to make sure no one passed out or got lost?? Not really sure. It was very funny especially because we were walking in the wrong direction! Anyway, then came lunch, and kids naps. D was able to get yard work done and I got a few things accomplished as well. Kristin woke up first and we played outside. D pretty much finished shortly after she woke up, showered and got cleaned up and.... ready... made me a bubble bath! I got to take a bubble bath and read in the middle of the afternoon on a Saturday! Unheard of and amazing! D and Bill played with the kids and when I got out it was silent. It was a breath of fresh air. I got ready and we took the kids to our neighbor's little league baseball game. We bought Kristin her own ice cream on a stick! After the game we had a cook out and a relaxing evening. Sunday was church and then errands just the four of us. Errands somehow ended with Kristin getting her first bike. Mom and Bill cooked dinner to give me a cooking break and I never thought I'd say this but it was fabulous just because I didn't cook it OR clean -up from it!
