Our "normal" weekend

I had almost forgotten what it was like to have a "normal" weekend... pretty much every weekend for the last 3 1/2 years has been consumed with weddings, shoots, editing, invoicing, emails, etc. The weather was so beautiful that I did everything I could to put down the crackberry and just be a mom and a wife this weekend. We went shopping, worked in the yard, got haircuts and watched movies. In other words, it was a perfectly uneventful amazingly relaxing and refreshing weekend.

I even picked up the camera for something personal-- the first time in I can't remember how long! I was planting flowers while Thatcher played in the yard. Olyn turned his back for a second, and Thatcher found his sandbox... which was full of water from the rains we've had. In that split second, Thatcher ran into the sandbox and instantly sat down in the four inches of standing water.

Once he was soaked, we decided to just let him play. I think this is the most fun he has ever had. He splashed, dug in the sand and then decided to use his little shovel to try and get the dogs equally as dirty as he was. He would fill the shovel with wet sand and chase after the dogs, thowing the sand whenever he was in close range.

So, Thatch has learned lately that if you get anything icky on your hands the best course of action is to immediately wipe it on your shirt. We are doing more laundry than ever and here he is caught in the act! So, that is the latest from us and our blissfully uneventful weekend. :)
