Ahhhhh, relaxation!

It has been a busy weekend so far, and since I don't want our kids to be those "typical PKs" that HAVE to be in the church every time the doors are opened (and we were there last night), the kids and I stayed home this morning. I hate to admit it, but it was SO NICE.

It also gave us some time to get K's presents ready. Moses always likes to decorate with stickers, but I had no idea that ZuZu would be so good at it! She did the present below. Granted, one sticker is torn (and wasn't intended to be on this package- it was a "WWJD" sticker that I had given to her just to keep her occupied...), but overall, I thought her motor skills quite advanced!

Moses and I also made a carrot cake for K (his favorite).

You will notice that the kids are still in their pajamas. Again, it was all about relaxation this morning. :)

Moses then took the wrapping paper, wrapped it around himself, and declared himself Jesus....

Guess we'll let that one slide for now. But if he is still doing the same thing in Jr. High, then I might decide that we skipped too many Sundays like this one. :)

For the 3rd Saturday in a row...

... NO T-ball pics. Because the came was rained out. AGAIN.

Well, actually, today's was more flooded-out. It was bright and sunny, but the field was covered in water. Wonderful.

BUT, we did at least get to go forth with our "Father's Day" plans for K- our church was supposed to be having a meal after church tomorrow followed by the annual board meeting, so we planned a scenic drive and picnic for K for today.

We drove about 20 miles north of where we live, along the Mississippi River road on the other side of the river. We had never driven that side before, and it was beautiful. And since Moses loves the Mississippi River, he enjoyed it, too.

We picnicked in a beautiful gazebo in a forgotten old river town right on the river. And I do mean RIGHT ON THE RIVER.

Since it was our Father's Day celebration, I tried to get some pictures of K with the kids. But ZuZu wasn't so into cooperating today...

Moses was all over the place, so it was hard to catch him in a picture...

But I LOVE that he prefers to swing in the baby swings so that he can be with ZuZu while she swings. What a sweetie!

ZuZu was a little slower, but tried to keep up with her big brother...

She got this far on the ladder, and that is where her bravery ended. Thank goodness!

After the park, we stopped on the way home at Wendy's for frosties. If you haven't done so, GO THIS WEEKEND and buy a frosty-- Wendy's is donating 50 cents from every frosty to the Dave Thomas Foundation for Adoption! Great deal!

And of course, after all of that play and then sweetness, we needed food. Nothing like having two lunches! Now THAT is K's kind of Father's Day celebration!

We got to have a bit of down time before heading to the church tonight for a concert. Everyone came home dead tired. After I got ZuZu down, this is where I found K:

Hopefully that translates into kids that sleep well!
