Relaxing weekend

My mom has been bugging me for a picture of myself, so here is one with me and the kids in the stroller that my dad got for us:
We have had quite the relaxing weekend. We went to the farmer's market Saturday morning and then we went to one of the larger parks in town. We'd never been to this park on Saturday morning and boy was it crazy. There were over a half a dozen fields with youth soccer games being played and there were hundreds of children participating in a fishing clinic on the pond in the middle of the park. It was clear that they had freshly stocked the pond for the fishing clinic because almost every kid had two fish. We wondered about the kids that didn't catch any fish, and felt bad for them. Especially because so many kids had two fish.

We came home for nap time. It is safe to say that for 3 days in a row now, we have gotten both of the boys to nap in their beds at the same time. We are really hoping that this trend continues. Justin went to the office to work with some debaters and I stayed home to man the fort. After naptime we took a family trip to target. I made some corn chowder for dinner and we settled in.

This morning we took a walk to the coffee shop. Justin enjoyed a bloody mary, Jackson enjoyed his juicebox (a new addition to his diet and limited to one a day), and I had a decaf iced coffee. Levi also enjoyed a meal at the coffee shop, and I am getting much better and feeling much more at ease about nursing in public. From there, we went to the playground where Jackson had a great time and Levi napped in the stroller:. We came home and as we were putting the stroller away in the garage, Jackson insisted that Justin take him for a ride in the bike trailer, so they headed out and Levi enjoyed a meal. When they came home, we put both boys down for naps and now we are relaxing. This evening we are attending a meet and greet hosted by the Nanny Service at the park. There will be a bounce house and a BBQ, so we are excited about it. Jackson has yet to try a bounce house, I just hope he's big enough to have fun with it.
