Weekend Fun

Someone came home from school on Friday with the cutest school pictures EVER!!!!!  Love Lincoln's sweet smile and adorable pose.   

We had a rainy Saturday and spent a little time doing inside projects.  Beau practiced his letter writing and was proud to write his name all by himself.  Nice penmanship and a sheepish little smile. 

Lincoln did a few Lego sets, and he had fun "fighting" Jaw Beast and Stormer against each other.  That's a serious fighting face! 

We took a trip to the Cookie Mall (the Galleria) later in the afternoon for some shopping.  We had a few birthday gifts to buy for Auntie and Pop Pop.  We noticed a commotion as soon as we walked into Belk from the parking garage.  The boys were sure it must be another Dallas Cowboys player picture op since we got their picture made last month with Leary and Crawford.  When we checked it out, Jessica Simpson was signing autographs and taking pictures.  The boys were not in favor of standing in the line to get a picture with a girl they thought was super unimpressive!  "That is not a Dallas Cowboy, Mom!"  Off to shop . . . the boys were completely in charge of the gifts we bought, so we are hopeful that the recipients like kind-of random gifts! 

We discovered that Santa Claus was making his Galleria debut on Saturday afternoon, so we stopped by to say hi.  No one was wearing their "Santa picture clothes" so we just talked a bit.  We'll come back later in appropriate attire.  He was super nice and talked the to the boys for quite a while. 

They requested a picture by the ice rink tree . . . see what I mean about not having appropriate "Santa picture clothes"?!?! 

We met up for dinner at Manny's with Nana and Pops, and Daddy had discovered a new radio station that was super fun.  It plays music from our high school and college years (1994-2002), and Daddy couldn't get out of the car (in our garage at home after dinner) because he was texting buddies about the songs they were playing.  The boys thought Daddy was too silly! 

We had Sunday School, and Lincoln skipped all the way to the car after our fun lesson.  Such a happy kid! 

We changed clothes and headed to the club for brunch, and it was delicious!  Omelets, bacon, waffles . . . and ketchup!!!!!  The boys had the best time running around the front entrance in the leaves.  Such great weather after a yucky day.   

Lots of playing outside was necessary even though it was crazy windy.  These two should be tired and ready for bed after such a busy day, but that's not the case.  They got early baths and settled in for a little movie.  A little Muppets and Charlie Brown are a great way to end a busy weekend.
