weekend in ipics.

so here are some weekend snapshots-all on my phone with instagram-cause i'm obsessed (this is sometimes the best way to capture those little everyday moments)

starting with friday. oh how i love friday. daddy walks in the door, home from work, and the weekend begins.

 

i love how the boys are perched on their daddy. leaning in-listening. a little hand on his knee, a toddler hand on his chest. little moments like these make my heart melt.

 so these are flowers i picked from our yard (grown by green thumb hubby of course) i'm not sure why i haven't picked our flowers and put them in a vase before. but this is something i need to do more of! dave on the other hand has done this for me in the past-picking our flowers and displaying them on the table for me. they always smell so good and look so pretty!

 like i've said in the past, little man is crawling everywhere-but now he is also standing everywhere too. i'm glad this kitchen can be used by two little boys now. it is a nice distraction for them while we're in the kitchen baking or cooking!

 and i just love that lil bum.

 we did some yard work this weekend (and by we-i mostly mean dave-and two little 'helping' boys. i mostly kept lucas from hamming his way right into dave's pant legs and tools while caleb observed and kept up a constant chatter. i mean-i weeded a few plants if that counts) anyway dave took out a 'weed' tree/plant that was gigantic and a huge, overgrown 'not so catching for the eye' plant. in their place he planted a grape tree (to hopefully grow onto the arbor for some patio shade) and some pretty flowers. caleb watered those flowers today, while lucas tried to ham in again, and i watched from my perch on the swing.

and this was my favorite morning moment. lucas woke up from his nap so big brother went in to greet him with smiles and 'hi lucas'  plus some chatter. he brought over the Ottoman to stand on-of course. and they had themselves a 'brotherly convo' while i spied from the doorway and snapped a couple pictures. i think lucas was trying to get his hands on caleb's raisins.

so we had a nice, hot, mostly relaxing weekend. it continues to be hot but i don't mind so much. we spend the early mornings outside before it gets too hot and then the boys spend the afternoon napping in the cool house. i'm ready for a hot week. water, pool, sprinklers, bare feet, (early morning runs-because i die at the 5pm, 90 degree runs) and cold watermelon and crunchy grape snacks. the week is looking good.

happy monday :)
