Friday night we went to a friend’s son’s birthday party a
t a miniature golf place. The kids had a lot of fun! Saturday morning Dean got up to make a run to the dump before we headed to his company’s picnic at a local camp. It was a blast! there were several pools, inflatable slides and climbing mountain, various kids crafts, a d.j, and tons of food, delicious food! 
It was completely free! Zeke even got to swim for his
first time, he didnt seem to mind it! we spent all afternoon there so the kids crashed in the car on the way home.
Dean even took a nap once we got home! Then he put up our new storm door out front. the last estimate we got to do it was $150 for installation and we buy the door, we got the door on sale for half price, around $60 and Dean was able to install it himself. it looks much nicer and actually functions like it should!! (our old door didnt!) He also worked on finishing
the basement stairs. 
I had taken off the old carpet runner, cleaned the steps and painted them in preparation of putting this new carpet down. Friends of ours got new carpeting and were getting rid of this, it’s in great shape, the stairwell is much more inviting now, we still need put the raling back up but I want to see how much a newer one cost first.
Today we went to church, I was glad there werent that many children in nursery as I was supposed to be in there, so Dean stayed with another friend with the kids so I could enjoy the service for the first time in weeks, I’ve the leader of teachers for our church’s nursery so the last few weeks we’ve had too many kids to keep the ratio correct for adults to kids, so I’ve ended up in there working instead of getting to go to the service. My back is still hurting so not being in there was great! After that caleb spent the afternoon with friends while Dean, I and the other boys went to lunch at Famous Daves then to the mall for my appointment for an eye exam. We were there for hours and I still have to go back tomorrow to get my glasses! We went to meet our friends at another friend’s house for an unplanned bbq and swim. So two days the kids didnt nap, tonight was so funny, we got home and Bo went straight to his bed without being asked. it was shortly after 8 when we got in and he was wiped out! Both kids went to bed without a fight, well all three really!!
I just got done working on cleaning up the playroom and Dean was straightening up the rest of the rooms that are left to be worked on. So not much got done housewise this weekend but we had a lot of quality family time which we’d been lacking. Tomorrow I have to go pick up my new glasses, as I suspected I was in need of a stronger prescription, not to mention Bo broke the frames to my glasses last week. I also got a pair of prescription sun glasses so that will be nice, I’ve never had a pair and I am hoping it helps my driving! Our vision insurance is great, I get a free eye exam and pair of glasses every year! I went last May so just over a year ago and my prescription has changed a good deal the dr was suprised but said it will more than likely continue to get worse as I age, gee thanks! Well I am in a great deal of pain, so off to bed, just wanted to share some pics since Caleb is out of school for the next few weeks I will probably be too busy to be here much during the day.
