We had such a great weekend, and so much of it was spent
outdoors.
Friday night the girls had a soccer game at 5:30. Sure, that made for a hectic afternoon in
some respects…but truly, what better way to leave the school/work week behind
and do something FUN??!!! And to top it
off, Baby A’s teacher came to see the first half of her game. She was ECSTATIC. She definitely played with some extra pep in
her step, and she scored two beautiful hard-fought goals!
Saturday morning, Daddy treated us to bagels from
Panera. We spent that morning mostly
hanging out in the living room…we read and did puzzles before we had an early
lunch. (We hadn’t done a puzzle in quite
a while. What fun it was to join my
girlies for some corner searching!)
Saturday afternoon we headed back to the soccer field. It was such a gorgeous, sunny day…not too hot…PERFECT.

After the game we went to get ice cream. (And this mama might have enjoyed the smiles
of strangers at seeing her babies in their uniforms.)
Sunday morning we decided to make our first trip of the
season to Lost River Cave. For the first
time, we took the cave tour (on a boat!).
The girls were super excited for that treat, and then we did our usual
hike around the park. We were delighted
to discover a few new trails, and to visit our favorite trails, of course.
After a quick and yummy lunch at our favorite hangout, Home Café,
we enjoyed a Sunday afternoon nap. (At
least Mommy and Daddy napped…I understand from the girls they played “camping
and hunting for dinosaur bones.” Like ya
do!)
Late Sunday afternoon, we headed outside again. The girls wanted to blow dandelions in the backyard. Much to what I imagine was the neighbors' chagrin, we did just that.

Then we played some front-yard soccer (scoring
between Frisbees set up as goalposts)…we enjoyed some catch…and the girls
asked if we could have a picnic supper.
While I’d intended to do some cooking for the week, I’m so
thankful I let it go. We had leftover
pizza on paper plates on a blanket in the front yard. And then the neighbor gifted the girls some
new sidewalk chalk, and we all enjoyed that unexpected treat.
We finished the day with a bubble bath. “This was the Best Day Ever!” Baby A
proclaimed. I think I might agree.
And then, for the grand finale, I gave the girls a new
night-night story I picked up at Kohl’s, entitled “Swimmy”. “What did you buy this for?” my B asked. “Can’t Mommy sometimes buy you something,
just because?” I responded. That was met
with the hugest smile.

LOVE the shot of A in action. Kendra was delighted with it too and has just told me she wants to also play soccer because ADAM (!!!) plays soccer.
