Every couple of weeks we have a Great weekend. This past weekend was one of those. Not because anything out of the ordinary happened, just because we spent it all together as a family.
We started this weekend with a movie. We took the kids to lunch at JCW's, then to see Where the Wild Things Are (my recommendation...wait for Redbox). After that, Phil and I went on a date...nothing special, just walked the mall (something we used to do on a regular basis a few years back when that was about all we could afford to do), then went to dinner at Macaroni Grill (one of our favorites).
The kids played night games until we got home at 9, then Gabe and Jackson climbed into our bed to cuddle with Dad and watch TV while Mady and Jake went back out for night games until 10.
Saturday morning we all slept in, then had orange rolls for breakfast before going to Gabe's last soccer game. Grandma and Grandpa Wilkins met us there. Then we went home for some yard work while Mady went to roadshow practice. Afterwards we grabbed lunch and went to the pumpkin patch for some fall fun.
The boys climbed on John Deere tractors, and everyone picked out their own pumpkin. Our rule has always been that they have to be able to carry the pumpkin they choose. There was also a little corn maze for them to run through.
Later Saturday afternoon we watched while BYU beat SDSU, then headed to the church to see Mady in the roadshow.
Like I said, nothing exciting. Just being together. I'm learning there isn't much better than that.
