We hit lots of highlights during our weekend of cancelled ballgames.  It really has a way of freeing up two whole days--amazing!  Jackson got to go to a friend's birthday party and played tackle football in the mud on Friday night...then he had a friend over on Saturday and spent the day hanging out, swimming and playing ball.  It really was a great weekend, full of many favorites.

Holding his baby girl is one of Daddy's favorite things...

 

 

especially when he gets to help her feel like a "big kid" at the park.

Hanging out with his old buddy Matthew is one of Jackson's favorite things!  These two had so much fun together on Saturday that they asked if Matthew could just stay the night.  We agreed, then took them out to dinner and downtown to Klyde Warren Park. 

It was a beautiful 77 degree night and perfect for these two monkeys.

And by some miracle, this guy finally got back on the ballfield on Sunday afternoon, too!  A true favorite passion of his.  His team played great, beating a team of 4th graders (those are 10 and 11 year old boys!) 9-4!  Jackson pitched so well the last inning, striking out the first two batters he faced and getting the third batter to ground out at first base.  Yeehaw!  I love, love, love watching this kid play ball.  Might be one of my favorite things, come to think of it!

Lila really looks forward to her Tuesdays with Memaw at BSF.  She loves learning all about Jesus and God, and then likes her playtime at Chick-fil-A, too.  I'm pretty sure she gets ice cream every time, too.  Who wouldn't love that?

Lila Lou also loves riding on her big brother's shoulders while they play around at home... 

 

 

but maybe the biggest smile of the week came when she donned this luxurious blonde wig at Gigi and Boom's house. Ha!  Now that's high humor right there.

And finally, for my sometimes odd 15 month old...her favorite of the week is none other than a tube of Aquafresh. Yep! 

She carried this tube of toothpaste around for three days straight last week.  It went for a ride with her on the lamb...

had a tea party with her at the Dora table...

and insisted on being right in the mix during Lila's hairstyling session.

The child even slept with the toothpaste for two nights in a row.  I kid you not.  And then she insisted that it come to breakfast with her, too!  It even took over the chocolate milk spot on the tray.  Now that's strong love right there.  Such a goose!
