Weekend Update

We had a fun weekend out of town-- visiting friends in Wrightsville Beach while Eddie and Dustin played in a golf tournament.

I got Cal out of school early and we went to pick up Andy at one and we hit the road.  We had to stop a few times (of course we did!) but when we got there at 4:00 and I walked up to our room for the weekend, I was in heaven:

 The kids picked up right where they left off and were playing like best buds in no time! They had a blast together acting crazy.  We had a babysitter Friday night so we could go to the event dinner and this is what was happening when she showed up....

 Thank goodness she still stayed.  I probably would have remembered I needed to.....wash my hair, or something. 

We had a great time at Eagle Point Country Club Friday night-- the food is just beyond delish and I wanted seconds of everything.... I refrained.  But I wanted it all.  We had so much fun with these sweet friends!

And my handsome hubby! We were celebrating the house news- since he was already down there when the offer came in, this was the first chance we had to celebrate together!

The four big kids all passed out in one room-- love their bodies all sprawled out!

 Andy's leg was best at the most awkward angle over-- not sure how he even got it like that.

We woke up Saturday morning to torrential downpour-- I mean raining cats and dogs.  We went to breakfast where we were a traveling sh*t show.  They were having fun so that was good, but 5 kids are really really loud.... also- Andy can't take a picture now without holding up his hand that he is 5.  Seriously.  I think he thinks he has to now...

 And this little sweet thing was toooooo cute! I held her when she was an itty bitty baby and I couldn't believe how big she was this trip!!! And blonde!!!!

 Finally the rain cleared (and not a minute too soon-- the kids were about to climb the walls...!) and we headed to a nearby park and we had soooo much fun playing! These kids ran and played and ran and climbed and ran and shot hoops and ran some more.  It was glorious.  We stayed there for several hours-- everyone was so happy, it made sense to stay!

In case you were wondering how old he is.....

Emma had a dance recital to perform Saturday afternoon so I had my two and we set out on a few errands together . I looked back and Cal was looking out the window like a dog-- wind in his face.  I swear, he is going to be a beach bum.  He loves being on the beach and salty and sandy.  Can't imagine where he gets that from....! (Eddie and I would gladly be beach bums!).  Cal has been looking so old lately.  I love this boy so much....

 We went out to dinner Saturday night and I didn't take one picture...! What tha wha???? I don't even know.  So unlike me.  We had the most amazing dinner at a super fancy delicious restaurant with some yummy wine.  Heaven on a stick for me!

But then there's this... also a little slice of heaven on a stick for me! hahahah

We had a great weekend with great friends and I can't wait to see them again this summer!!!
