Wonderful Whirlwind

We had such a wonderful weekend - full of outdoor adventures, our students, family, food...We're both exhausted heading into this week, but are so thankful for the time we got to spend together as a family this weekend.
On Saturday morning we had Scott's Economics students over to our house for breakfast! When we bought this home, we decided that we really wanted to share it, and it has been so fun to have kids over. They are always so thankful to get off of campus, have a homecooked meal and just be in a real home! Our boys, of course, had a blast with the big kids!

After the students left, my mom and I brought our boys just down the road to a little pumpkin festival. They had a huge pumpkin chunker that flies pumpkins through the air, but we left before that actually happened. Camden and Micah didn't care...they had fun walking around, seeing a few other friends and of course, Camden had fun eating a hot dog as a special treat!

After nap time we went over to watch Scott's soccer game. They tied 1-1 and I had the lovely task of trying to keep two crazy boys busy and happy when all they wanted to do was go stand with their Daddy! Oh, and do you like Camden's outfit - he refused to get out of his jammies - pick your battles!

We enjoyed a nice quiet evening together Saturday night and went to church on Sunday morning. I ended up having to hang out with Micah for most of the service, but Camden did a great job in the toddler room! Yahoo! After running a few errands, we came home and went for a walk down behind our house in the meadow. Some Proctor people were going on a trail ride, and Micah is obsessed with horses, so we thought it would be fun to go see them! We also let the boys sit on some huge tractors!

After everyone got back I even got to get up on one for a few minutes! :)

Camden was really excited to go look at the old, old car that is buried behind our house. There is a lot of history surrounding this little road and the three houses along it and there is some crazy stuff in the woods behind the house!

Scott finished residing most of the house last weekend! He's so handy! Next year we will paint and the exterior of our house will finally look as good as the inside!

Tonight we had one of Scott's advisees over for chili and cornbread. He's going through a tough time and (i think) he had fun getting off campus and hanging out with the boys (although Camden was a maniac running on not-enough sleep! Eeek! We'll see if this kid ever wants to come back again!).
Another busy week lies ahead. So thankful for my home, my family, our job, my boys and the beautiful place we live.
