Random weekend musings.

Last weekend we had both kiddos for once. Weird, as we've only been having one at a time lately. It was a nice change and good to see them both! We picked them up Friday night in Seattle and headed home to a nice dinner of tacos (the staple, of course).


After that, it was on to Fast and the Furious 5... in which I got honorary thug status from Bailey (note the hat) and read a book. I watched about 20 minutes of fast and furious before I decided that my book was much more entertaining.


The next day we hung around and then made our way down to Justin's mom's house to help her with her yard. Above is a picture of Justin (aka Rambo) who decided to really go balls out and weed.


And another with the saw... his biceps felt awesome that night as we had a massive bi/back workout the day before.


During this yard work, we made a lot of new friends... the one above was the cutest of the bunch. The others I did not stick around very long to get any pictures. After working outside for a couple of hours, we had dinner with Justin's mom, brother, sister in law and the four kids before heading home (seriously, I'm calling two teenagers kids now... I HATED that when I was young. Oh, how the times change).


The next day we also took it easy before driving the boys back across the mountains. This is what awaited us at the top of the pass- beautiful fall colors and SUN!


Heading back the other way, let me just point out the wall of clouds... (sadface).

And, on the west side of the mountains, aka: home (isn't that crazy how one side of the mountains is all clouds, other side all sun?) Hi Seattle, you and your fall cloudiness sucks. Can we go back to the sunny fallish weather, please? All in all, despite the gloom, it was a great weekend. Another one for the books!
