A couple weekends back we had nothing on our calendar for the weekend. Nothing! No traveling, no visitors, no birthday parties, nada. As much as we love all the fun and being on the run, I couldn't wait for no plans! The kids are invited to a skating party (it's tomorrow actually!) and knowing my son I thought it would be a good idea to try out skating ourselves before the party. And I am glad we did!
They have these great little walkers to help the kids skate, genius!! Laney wasn't real sure at first but she was totally willing to go out and try with Dad!
One time around and she was rockin' it!
And then we drug him out there kicking and screaming…literally. We weren't giving in to the tears, always reiterating to him that we have to do hard things in life and things we are scared of. If you don't try it, you may be missing out on something you love! Adam was so patient with him even though he was not cooperating in the least bit.
Coop went around once then came back and sat with me, took his skates off and said he wasn't skating again. I basically said ok, ignored him and cheered Laney on like crazy. Well, after hearing that praise and watching his sister having so much fun, he wanted his skates back on to try again.
And the next time around he was skating with no hands, so proud of himself. So of course we said, "see, we can do hard things!"
This sweet baby and I cheered on the kids from the sidelines.
He was so proud of himself and we were so proud of him!! He was skating along, doing his own thing and then boom…his feet slipped out from under him and he fell and bonked his head…
Ouch! Hello goose egg! Believe it or not, he got back up and skated the rest of the rink. The kids both left happy and can't wait to go back again!
We went to Potbelly (or Hotbelly as Laney calls it) for lunch. Then Adam needed to go by Verizon store to get new phone stuff set up. I sat in the car with these crazies for waaay too long while we waited.
The weather was so nice! We took Lola on a walk.
The kids rode their bikes that are too small for them. Cooper's bike helmet is too small so he wears his tee ball helmet.
No nap meant Laney was asleep on the ottoman lid early evening. Piper was in mid-attack.
After dinner we took the golf cart to visit the other Jones'. This was my view on the way home…again, no denying he his my kid. :)
Saturday afternoon we headed to the Stauffers for Sunday Funday!
Sisters!
Oh how I hope they want to wear big bows in their hair for years to come!
This girl! We get home and the heels come on. Lately she is always carrying my newest Stella & Dot wallet.
A fun weekend at home!
