Tonight after dinner, we headed outside. It was a beautiful night and the boys enjoyed playing around the back yard.
Wesley recently planted some sod and we were watering it. Philip got interested in the sprinkler and before we knew it, we were all taking turns running through the water.
I love nights where the only thing on the agenda is fun!
One of Wesley’s coworkers, Nancy, offered us two tickets to see Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat at the Fox. WHOO HOO!! That play is one of our favorites and it was going on the weekend after our anniversary. Happy anniversary to us!
We secured a sitter (thanks, Jilli!) and make plans for dinner and the show. Though it is not one of Wesley’s favorites, he let me pick, and I chose Melting Pot. I love the experience of that place!
We had a delicious dinner and absolutely AMAZING seats for the performance. Four rows back, center stage! The performance was awesome. We know all the songs and sang along. One of the performers, a little girl, looked so familiar, and during the last song, I realized how I knew her. She does homeschool with my neighbor and stared in the Christmas play Jackson and I went to in December. Cumming, GA has a star!!
Thanks, Wesley, for a wonderful night out and 9 great years!
I heard on the radio that Disney was brining a special exhibit to Perimeter Mall. We thought Wesley was working on Saturday so I made plans to take the boys down. Wesley’s event was cancelled so he joined us! Family Outing!!!
We arrived at Perimeter as the exhibit opened. It was low key, but quite impressive. There were several photo booths set up, and once you got inside, you were prompted to smile 4 times at the camera. Then, your pictures were added to the Famous Disney Landmarks. You could preview them and then enjoy a print out of one of the pictures! It was fast, easy, and fun!
After that little activity, we went to the AMAZING Disney Store. They were doing a special Cars 2 activity, and the boys (all three!) got into it…some more than others!
Here's our Jackson...
Sadly, my camera died as soon as we pulled into the driveway, but thanks to cell phones, I was able to get a few shots of the weekend.
Saturday morning, Jackson, Lynne and I traveled to the Farmer’s Market. I love fresh produce in the summer and enjoyed looking around at the different booths. One lady was there with her violins and let the kids try. The first time around, Jackson looked but would not touch. Then, I caught him staring off at the display and asked if he wanted to try. He said, “Yes!”
Today was our monthly lunch with Patricia. Again, a great time was had by all. We decided to go back to our usual place – a McDonald’s with an indoor playground – and it was a huge hit. Jackson loved playing on the play equipment and even dared to go to the top. He loved it and went up and down so many times! Even Philip got adventurous and joined Jackson on the play set. Thankfully, he stayed closer to the ground!
Jackson was a real trooper last week. Wesley was gone with Mission: ATL and Philip had been very sick. Jackson was so patient as we stayed inside for most of the weekend nursing Philip back to normal.
Tonight, I asked Wesley if I could get away with Jackson and enjoy some one-on-one time with him. Wesley was all for it.
I was unsure of how that would work out but Wesley said there were plenty of people around to keep an eye on Jackson. I should have known Minutha would jump at the chance to run around with Jackson
She is so sweet and loving to our boys and from the looks of the pictures I found on Facebook, both she and Jackson had a great time!
This week was Jackson’s last week of Swim Class. He has been working on his skills for three months so we decided to take a break in June.
Since Wesley was working all week at Mission: ATL, Jack and Lynne came down for a visit. Jack joined us today at Jackson's lesson. Jackson loved showing off for KD.
Here he is with his WONDERFUL teacher, Ms. Deb!
