Weekend Wrap-Up

Happy Friday!  Beau and Mommy started the morning off by sleeping in a bit.  Mommy decided to get her workout for the day in while watching some daytime TV, and Beau wanted to be in charge!  Sweet thing led an hour long workout using different magazine exercise routines.  He said we needed to do some deep breathing when our workout was done, and he explained something his preschool gym teacher taught him about deep breathing.  Such a funny workout buddy!
We picked Lincoln up from school, and the boys played on the playground with friends for quite a while.  We also hit up Big Lou's car wash and the Popcorn Shack for a little snack.  The boys went to Nana and Pops for the evening because Mommy and Daddy had the Bowie Dinner and Auction fundraiser to attend.  We had so much fun at the western-themed benefit!  We met up with a few couples pretty early for the BBQ dinner, and it was delicious!  The live auction was out of control, and we were all a little shocked at what some of the items were sold for.  Front row parking spot at school for the school year = $2,400.00.  4 4-person rounds of golf = $1,000.00.  Naming the school driveway - $1,100.00.  Week long stay for 5 couples at a house in Cozumel = $6,400.00.  We also participated in the silent auction items, and we were big winners.  Lincoln won a kickball game and fro-yo party with Mrs. Bailey, an end of year swim party, and Mommy won a gift basket from her friend's shop in town.  Selfie!!!! 
We loved hanging with so many friends for the night, and Kindergarten totally represented at the fundraiser!  I learned that over $30,000.00 was raised, and it is all for the PTA to use to support the school and teachers.   
Lincoln was totally amazed that Mommy was partying with Mrs. Bailey!!  He can't stop asking her when the kickball game will happen.  She's so sweet to offer her time after school hours to do something fun with the kids.   
Some rowdy rain and thunderstorms ran through the evening, but we weren't dampened.  We picked the boys up pretty late, but we had planned 8:00 Baseball pictures and an 8:30 Baseball game and a 10:00 soccer game for Saturday.  Turns out of the games were rained out because everything was way too wet!  Daddy met a few friends for golf in the afternoon, and the boys wanted a picnic at Jersey Mike's.   
Nana and Pops came over after lunch to do some bike fixing.  Beau had a loose training wheel, and Lincoln needed a kick stand because he doesn't have training wheels to keep his bike standing.  After Pops fixed the bikes, we all headed out for a neighborhood ride.  Beau found a roly poly when we stopped at an intersection and needed a picture.  (Gross!) 
When we crossed the intersection, we found Case and Canon collecting roly polies too!  Beau was happy to jump off his bike to join them.  The boys all climbed in the "breakfast swing" (because it looks like a waffle?) for a little fun.   
Carsen and Canon climbed up into the tree house, and Lincoln got a little brave and climbed up to the first level.  Beau was fine to remain on the ground! 
After hanging out with the Saugier's for a while, we biked back home.  I got a message from another friend (Aimee) that she had a giant coffee table that wouldn't work in their house, so it was available for pick up.  Lincoln's Lego table is overrun, so a bigger table sounded great.  We stopped by their house, and while the grownups discussed the table, the kiddos jumped on the trampoline.  (Beau had climbed out for a second when I snapped this picture.)  They have a super fun backyard! 
So we loaded up this giant coffee table and had to make room for it in the playroom.  It was definitely time for a clean up anyway, so we worked hard to empty the room of all things "too little".  Toy box, little table with chairs, Home Depot play station, and lots of toys needed to be cleaned out.  Beau needed to pose with the toys we were getting rid of! 
Yes, it's a giant table, but the room looks so much bigger after removing the other stuff.  The boys love the extra room for keeping the Legos they put together out to play with. 
Sunday afternoon was super busy!  Daddy played golf then he was asked to take over pitching for coach pitch Baseball practice, and he did a great job. 
Beau made up a new game while we watched practice:  step on Mommy's shadow!  The funniest part is that Mommy moves around a lot, so Beau has to chase the shadow.  Genius fun! 
Busy but fun weekend for sure!
