You have no idea how good it feels to actually write that. We didn't have any plans for the weekend and it was great! Well, actually, we did have plans to go to Sheboygan, Wisconsin to spend a few days on the beach with the girls. But, after travelling every other week
all summer and always having something on our schedule, we thought that we needed a weekend of nothing. And it was glorious!
Friday Tim went golfing and got a hole in one! If you follow me on
Twitter, you already read that he wants to blog about it. He
won't stop talking about it is pretty proud of himself.
Saturday morning was spent at the park. The girls played on the equipment and swang for over an hour - and we had the whole playground to ourselves! There is something so special about watching your children find joy at a playground - swinging, going down slides, climbing on ropes. Saturday afternoon we played outside and shopped for a big girl bike for E.
Sunday, Tim and the girls spent some time with my in-laws (while I shopped at Trader Joe's and Target, solo - win!) Sunday night we played outside again while Tim grilled a delicious dinner for us. The fact that summer is almost over was evident by the jackets that had to be worn - but I'm not ready to say goodbye quite yet.

Today I am grateful for time. Time with my family. Time to just be together, to play, to love. I think that we need to "schedule" a weekend of nothing every month - it was so refreshing! Today I'm linking up with
Ember Grey for Grateful Heart Monday.
How was your weekend? What are you grateful for today?
Looks like a great weekend. YAY for solo shopping!
ReplyDeletehaha!! I love that Tim wants to blog about his hole in one! Do it! Do it! Okay, the little babe on the scooter = SO CUTE!!!!!!!! (And so fashionable!) Thanks for linking up today, Meagan! :)
ReplyDeleteHooray for a weekend of nothing! And I agree, there is something magical about watching your kids at the park!

It really is the best - just seeing them have so much fun with something so simple! :)
DeleteI LOVE weekends of nothing! We had 7 weekends in a row of being gone this summer, but we have had several weekends free lately - and it is wonderful! So glad you guys were able to slow down and relax for a bit!
ReplyDeleteI also had a weekend of nothing and I have to agree with you they are perfect!
ReplyDeleteThose always seem like the best weekends, when you don't have set plans.
ReplyDeleteQuiet time with your own immediate family is such a treasure. Extended family is awesome too but those get-togethers are rarely quiet haha! The joy of Bug at a playground is one of my favorite things - I know exactly what you mean!! She's not so brave on the slides yet and forgets to lift her feet slightly so often sticks along the way because of her runners ;) I'm glad you had a restful and lovely weekend!
ReplyDeleteOh man, ya'll are already pulling out the jackets?! I wish we were... High of 95 yesterday and today. Bless me. Glad ya'll had a good weekend!!
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful weekend! And the scooter pic.... How cute!!! I love weekends at the park :) I'm jealous of the jackets. We'll be in the 90s all week
ReplyDeleteI'm all for scheduling a weekend of nothing. It's so refreshing and so needed!!! Just think...we could have been in the same state as each other. Technically I guess we were when I passed through Chicago...
ReplyDeleteAww, your life looks like it is set in a John Hughes movie without all the angst :)
ReplyDeleteHaha, some of my fave movies :) No angst here, at least none that weekend!
