We had a quiet weekend that included a lot of time together and time with friends. Saturday I went over to my friend Rachel's with the girls. Her husband was out of town for the weekend. Knowing how the time from 4-7pm can pass SO SLOWLY when your husband is out of town, we planned on hanging out over those hours and doing dinner with the kids. We took all 6 kids (her 4, my 2 girls) to Wendy's and when we got back in the car Rachel asked if we could just drive around for a 1/2 hour until bedtime. There's something so calming about having your kids strapped in the car knowing they can't do a whole lot of damage. Sunday we were introduced as new members at church. The kids behaved perfectly which was a relief considering you never know what to expect with a 2 1/2 year old who has to sit in church. Sunday afternoon we went to our neighbors for pizza and sledding. Ben is "back in the saddle" after his sledding accident and doesn't seem traumatized or scared of hay which I guess is a good thing.
