On Friday afternoon, Jack had 3 friends over and Luke had 1 friend over, so it was a boy-filled playdate at our house for a few hours and they had a great time! Then they saw friends at the school skate night that night, during which neither Jack nor Luke skated. Jack played laser tag and jumped on the bounce-houses, and Luke played in the arcade and won enough tickets for some fun prizes. That night, Cat and I stayed up late watching a movie, which was really fun and definitely worth it.
Saturday was more low-key. We were mostly home, hanging out, doing some housework and some homework and some piano practice. Jack assemble items that would represent the book he read for his term 3 book report. He'd read Swordbird, which was written in reponse to the 9/11 attacks, so he made this quick WTC to go in the giant Amazon gift bag he was using.
Luke and I did get out for a bit and enjoy the warm (45°!) weather with a walk/jog. He was excited to find this little figurine while we were out, which he thought resembled a Minecraft character, though he hasn't actually played Minecraft to the best of my knowledge but his best friend talks to him about it a lot.
On Sunday, Cat was in charge of getting the boys ready and off to church while I was at choir. She rocked it. Not only were they on time, they were 10 minutes early. I met them there a few minutes after the meeting started (leaving from SLC as soon as I could!) and could hardly believe that when we got home from church, the kitchen was also all clean. Cat for the win! The kids played some basketball in the afternoon, then we watched Pres. and Sis. Oaks discussing the new Children and Youth Program on a Face to Face, and we also talked to Ben and everyone in Tallahassee before bedtime.
It was a good weekend, but a little weird not to have Ben and Eliza around - we were glad when they got home on Monday!
