Friday - I got an e-mail that the volunteer training I was supposed to be attending on Saturday was cancelled. You might have heard me cheering from your house. I picked up the kids from camp while L got her phone fixed and we met for dinner.
Saturday - L took the kids to the gym and the grocery store while I studied and did laundry. They came home to get me to go to lunch and go for a walk around the lake, but after lunch L was exhausted from getting up at 5am to work and I had horrendous cramps, so we went home and let the kids watch a movie while L napped and I studied. The boys' friend came over around 5 and we took the kids to the pool for all of 20m before the storm hit. So they played in the basement for a few hours while L and I watched another episode of Orange is the New Black and then took the 3 of them to McDonalds and Sweet Frog before meeting up with his mom (and running into TWB!) By 8:30 our kids were begging to go to bed.
Sunday - We took the kids to Target to get their school supplies. We went to lunch, got the kids some fall clothes at the outlets, and then took the kids to the pool for a few hours. I grilled sliders and we put the kids to bed early. We watched some more Orange is the New Black and I was asleep not long after 9. The pool exhausts me.
Saturday - The big girls went to the waterpark with SIL. We fixed the goat pen, ran some errands and built a daytime run for the chicks. J's parents came over around dinnertime, bringing popsicles from a specialty popsicle place near their house. We grilled hotdogs and sausages for a late dinner and enjoyed the warm night air. We went to bed pretty quickly after everyone left.
Sunday - Woke up early (for a Sunday), moved the chicks outside to their daytime run and fed the pigs and goats. I made a frittata for breakfast and cleaned the kitchen while the kids ate. J went to work at 11 and I sat with the kids outside while they played with the water table and chalk. We moved inside for lunch and a movie and then a nap. I woke up to a text from J with good news about our wedding venue so I was on Pinterest and a couple dress sites for awhile. I made dinner, the kids ate, got ready for bed and played spa until bedtime. J brought me a burrito when she came home, we ate and talked about the wedding then went to bed.

Friday: HH with a friend/coworker from my the main office for my group. Her cousin is a bartender...dangerous. Then to dinner with my favorite boys. My friend ended up coming with us since she needed to eat more than chips/guac prior to driving home. We ate Italian and had fun catching up.
Saturday: My aunt (mom's twin sister) had left me a message they were in town and wanted to visit. They are fly by the seat of their pants last minute people, I am not. I took my car to the shop in the morning and eventually spoke with my aunt. They came over late afternoon, so I spent the time leading up to that trying to clean the house a bit since it's been neglected while we were camping and I spent the prior two weekends working on the fence. After they left I mowed and fixed some sprinkler issues in the front yard. That night I headed to A's so I could see her Sunday morning.
Sunday: Woke up to A coming home and slept in a bit longer. We had brunch at a new place and then spent a bit of time together back at her place before I left to go home so she could go to bed. Laundry, groceries and some bad TV.

Mine was super busy. Let's see...Friday night the boy and I watched a movie and tried to be quiet while my wife napped. She had to work from 10:30p-6a Saturday.
Saturday morning she brought home donuts and walked in the door with just enough time for me to run out and meet my running group. I ran, came home and ate a donut, jumped in the shower, and then headed in to work for 3 hours. Came home and picked them up, dropped her off at a dart tournament and the boy and I went to the conservatory. He wanted to get a snack so we were going to go to a nearby coffee shop, but got distracted by a huge bookstore. She texted that she was done while we were in there, so we headed out (I managed to get us out with just two new books). He was so pooped he fell asleep in the car a full 3 hours before his normal bedtime and slept all the way through until morning. A friend of ours who lives close was working on some kind of drunken project, so her GF (not drunk) picked my wife up to go help her out at like 10p while I stayed home and chilled out.
Sunday we were woken a bit earlier than usual (but not as bad as I was expecting). We had breakfast and my wife agreed to go to the fair, which I love but she is not a big fan of. I had a great time and managed not to eat everything in sight even though I love fair food, and the boy had a BLAST on the rides. The two of them started getting grumpy (they both needed naps ) so we headed home.
