Fun Filled Weekends - Character Breakfast, Monster Jam, Pool Party and More!

The past two weekends have been full of fun. The last two Friday nights, I have filled in on a co-worker's softball team and had a great time.  It has been years since I have played so I was nervous how I would do, but it hasn't been too bad!
 My two biggest fans.
 
Last Saturday morning, we went to the character breakfast at school.  We didn't stay too long but Kate enjoyed seeing a couple princesses and both kids liked the free pancake breakfast.  Mason got upset when he saw batman and iron man and kept telling me "I not want batman to get me".
Kate wanted to dress up like Rapunzel.  I'm glad she did because most of the other little girls there were dressed up too.  We ran errands afterwards and she kept her dress on the entire time.  I saw several looks and smiles as people noticed her. 
 Kate and Peyton. 
This is a common expression now when I ask Kate to smile.  It's driving me crazy!
Later that afternoon, Justin took Mason to see the Monster Trucks at the Civic Center.  They met up with Raymond, Sawyer, Matt and Nolan for dinner at Birds before they all went to the show.  This was the first picture Justin sent me:
 I wasn't surprised at this reaction but Justin said he quickly cheered up when Mr. Matt offered for Mason to sit with him.

My handsome boys.
Justin said they had a great time together!  I'm sure they'll be back for next year's show.
 
While the boys were out, Kate and I had a girls night.  We did some shopping at Target (surprise!) and then enjoyed dinner at Red Elephant followed by dessert at Nuberri (where else?!).
I always enjoy our girls nights.
 
Yesterday, we had another busy day of fun.  Uncle Jordan and Camden invited us to the Southwood pool and we spent several hours playing and having fun.  Love that place! 

 

 
Mason got brave and decided to go down the tunnel slide all by himself: 
 But he decided one time was enough -  so proud of my fearless little man.
 
Kate went down the other slide over and over.  She loves it!



And so does Uncle Jordan:


The other popular spot was the kiddie pool...the boys loved playing there too.


 
 
We enjoyed a subway lunch by the pool and called it a day by early afternoon.  The kids crashed on the way home and slept good that afternoon.  I hope we get to go again soon!
 
In addition to our pool fun, I was able to spend time with Katie Mundie who was visiting this weekend (Daniel was taking his Engineering exam).  I took off of work Friday and had a much needed girls day!  Katie and I met for lunch at Red Elephant, went to a movie (The Last Ride - so good!) and got a pedicure. Saturday night, several of us met for dinner and enjoyed catching up. I wish it could have lasted longer! 
We had a quick lunch after church with Daniel and Katie before they got on the road for the long drive back to North Carolina. Can't wait to see them next month at the beach!
