We had a fabulous, albeit busy, weekend. We took the kids out for pizza Friday night after scoring some clearanced costumes (yay for 75% off at Target!) for their dress-up box. We did the girl/boy split on Saturday. My mom and I took Sweet Pea to an awesome arts/crafts show while my dad and hubby took the boys to Bass Pro Shops. So manly, eh? The kids and the grown-ups had a blast. I got some of my Christmas shopping done at the show, and Pop got pictures of Snap and Split posed in a party boat, a speed boat, an ATV and with a very outdoorsy Santa. 
Those should be fun to scrapbook!
Sunday was my day to volunteer in our church nursery. I got to spend an hour holding the yummiest little babies! Occasionally I find myself having that deep longing for another baby. It's soooo not going to happen, though, so I love that I can get my baby-fix at church once a quarter. After church, my precious hubby got the kids changed into play clothes, fed, entertained and down for a nap by himself (no small feat when they're all wound up from playing with friends at church all morning) so I could go out to lunch with a dear friend with whom I've spent very little time lately. I loved my girl time. I came home to a quiet house and kicked back on the couch with my November issue of Better Homes & Gardens. When everyone woke up, we had some great family playtime outside (i.e. Hubby chased them around while I planted some new fall plants and pulled some weeds). We had a yummy dinner, watched our favorite Wiggles video and put the kids to bed.
Ahhh…it was just what I needed. And here are the goofballs modeling things from their dress-up box.
