Ready for the week!

We had the BEST weekend, because we did nothing. It's been a few weeks since we had a commitment-less weekend, and that coupled with most of our neighbors being out of town made it especially relaxing and rejuvenating. (We LOVE our neighbors. Love, love, love them. We love their fellowship so much that we often lose track of time and realize it's 30 minutes past the kids' bedtime and we still need to round them up and bathe them, etc. It's super fun, but every now and then it's good to have a break from so much fun.)

Friday night, as I mentioned in my last post, Sydney and Lorelei had a makeup gymnastics class, and on our drive home from that we finished the audiobook The Wonderful Wizard of Oz read by Anne Hathaway. I'd never read this classic; I highly recommend it (especially Anne's reading of it)!

Saturday we slept in a little, Chet built something in the garage, I did lots of laundry, and after dinner we took the kids to our community pool (located on base, approximately a mile from our house). We nearly had the place to ourselves, and it was still quite hot at 6 p.m., so the water felt great.

Sunday we went to church and, as always, enjoyed a complimentary donut afterward:

Chet went to the commissary (grocery store on base) after church to buy ingredients to make salsa, which he did, and which I ate. We sat around the house in the evening, reading library books aloud to whoever wanted to listen, and teaching Ruthie how to catch a ball.

Happy Monday, friends! I hope you're also feeling rejuvenated!
