Long Weekend

We spent our long weekend doing pretty much normal weekend things, but then when it got to Sunday Night, I realized Max didn't have to work the following day and we got so excited! 

So Saturday, CHarlie and Max went to Home Depot to do some projects and when they were trying to come home, the worker gave them 3 more projects they could work on at home and Charlie's very own Home Depot bucket. Pretty Successful! I then went to an Eye appointment...turns out my prescription hasn't changed for nearly 30 years yet they still like to check annually. In the afternoon and evening we finished some house organization projects. Exciting right?

Anyway, Sunday was spent at church and  then setting up Charlie's new birdhouse. 

And Miles found this special place in a bush and would not leave until his diaper was completely full!

And I had curled my hair so I thought...hey, I'll take a picture of that..this is what turned out from that...haha!

 And some walnut smashing!

After our random outside play, we went to a friend's house for an amazing dinner. We brought the boys homes and put them to bed.
 Monday morning, we had a cream of wheat breakfast with berries then loaded up our bikes to go for a family bike ride before it gets too wet and cold.

We went to a smooth trail because Charlie has not been that excited about his new bike since he tries to ride it on the gravel around our house and then falls over. He's ridden his bike successfully before but this time he was super timid, even when we got to the trail so it took a lot of patience to get him comfortable enough to ride for awhile.

This is Max's face trying to be super patient with Charlie, while he stopped every couple of inches.

Max told me to ride ahead while he worked with Charlie so I pulled Miles in the trailer and we rode for awhile. When we got back Miles had fallen asleep and Charlie and Max were still in the same spot.

After a little more practice, we finally rode all together a little ways down the trail, we still stopped a ton but we made some progress.

 When we got back to the beginning of the trail I took the boys to the park so Max could go on a little ride. Miles woke up and Charlie made a new best friend so life was good at the park.

Max came back after awhile and joined in the fun!

We went home ate lunch and got Miles to sleep more! Then our friends, the Heaps, came over after dinner and we had a doughy party around the fire and that ended an excellent day with Max home!
