For the first time since Christmas, Craig and I took a short trip home to Arcadia to visit my parents and just hang out at home for the weekend over Labor Day. It was so nice to be home, even if it was just for a couple days. Nicole and her boys, Caleb (4.5 yrs) and Brady (3 yrs), came over on Saturday morning to swim in the pool and visit for a couple hours. Those couple hours consisted of playing water taxi for the boys, seeing who could splash the biggest, pushing each other on the tiny old tractor, and messing with crabby Brady. It was a great start to the weekend. Those boys are absolutely adorable -- but man, were we tired after just two hours in the pool! haha - I don't know how you do it all day, Nicole!
The day continued by positioning ourselves on the couch to watch the Dawgs play their opening game of the season. Sadly, we lost to Oklahoma, but at least it was to a top 10 team. We only left the couch to eat dinner, which was a yummy homemade meal of country fried steak and all the fixins. Ah.... there's nothing like a home cooked meal!
Sunday afternoon was spent reading magazines and listening to Buffett by the pool...wish we could do that more often! We had a lovely weekend. It was a nice refresher before the fall frenzy that is football season!
