What a weekend

Nothing poetic to say today, I just wanted to make note of what a great weekend it was.  Not much happened and on Friday I was worried it would rain all weekend.  I heard stories of yesterday being rainy and cold in Louisville, but it was a gorgeous weekend here, all weekend long.

Yesterday Brooke and Austin came over and we had tailgate food and watched football.  Today, we let the three girls play by themselves in the back yard today for the first time.  Brooke and I would go out the occasionally, play baseball or whatever, we even had lunch out there. For the most part, the girls were on their own.  Brooke and I kept a close watch on them through our windows but they didn't seem to notice.  They played, and played, and played some more.  After dinner we went out front to run around some more and Brooke gave the girls a "manny" and a "peddy" and I laughed about how covered in dirt, food, bruises, and filth the girls were.  They have never so desperately needed a shower as they did tonight. 

We did showers, teeth, books, and songs- and I think the girls were asleep before the lights got dark in their room.  We didn't really do much this weekend, but man was it a good one.
