out and about

On Friday night we dropped everything (see the trailer in the back? we were loading it with garbage to take to the dump. Fun, huh?), put a bbq barrel on the ground & roasted hotdogs & marshmallows. Loved it =] (Can you see J's really scarily dirty feet? That was one happy boy =])

Then on Saturday the boys invaded Grandma's house while Char n I eloped off to an amazingly delicious dinner at The Madonna Inn and then a quiet uninterrupted (crazy, huh?) night in Atascadero. We hadn't been away by ourselves for a night in 2 years- we were by far ready for it! And the icing on the cake? The only thing we paid for was the dinner =] (I love that!)
(6 years! Can you believe it?!)

So anyway, we're home & back to reality now... the boys have adopted the space under the kitchen table for a boxed fort.

And who would like to bless my kiddos with this christmas present this year? With the $650 price tag on it, I told them I'd have to save till they graduated... anyone?
