weekend full fat

because it was sooooo not lite...

this was an amazing, three really good weekends wrapped into one kind of weekend.

the kids had some friends spend the night friday night. these kids are so sweet and so, i don't know, just neat and cool and different in ways people need to be different, or something... i am a kid freak...if you could buy them, i'd have millions. i just love them. and these two were no exception...my kids LOVED having those kids over. and it was sweeter than sweet when e slept on the air mattress in mine and N's room with the eight year old girl of the pair...like give me a cavity sweet. i loved it. (did i already say that?)

then saturday morning, we were all up by seven so that n and i could attend a lego function in austin with some of his robotics team and N could take s, o, e, and those two extras to o's soccer game. N and his crew had a really good time playing and by the time n and i got home, i walked in to a house smelling of broccoli stir fry and two extras plus mama eating at my table...it was awesome. just awesome.

then extras and mama left...and then lanatron and her kids (minus one who went to fiesta texas with daddy) came to visit. it was so cool. N was totally in his element, cooking like crazy for everyone, having a blast with it. my kids were so thrilled to see her kids. it was great, great fun. then my bil, sil, and baby s came over and by then, the slip and slide was out, the bikes were all over the front, kids were shivering and laughing and dripping and playing...what a day....what a freaking day. (i mean freaking in the "totally awesome, blow my mind away, and fill my tank for a long while" type way, of course)

so that was that. n and i just got home from robotics and i just heard N open the garage door with o and e. s is at his own robotics group and will meet us at a friend's church for her concert in an hour. the goodness just keeps coming...

if happiness were food, i'd say i'm about to pop...or i need to get on the treadmill or something...
peace

ps---welllll, i do have this one little thing i need to add...THIS VIDEO (thank you mama whit) was one of the most necessary things i've watched in a long time (and by that i mean necessary for me...not anyone else unless they happen to feel the same way). i'm sure the same point could be made about many different politicians...but for now...well...this made me kind of happy, too, to be honest...i'll just leave the link if anyone's interested...
