A laid back weekend

This weekend was a pretty laid back weekend.  The only thing notable was that it was very hot.  Forrest tried to get the yard mowed early on Saturday morning to beat the heat.  Unfortunately, Carter wanted to help which really slowed down the process.

I tried to distract Carter by asking him to help me pick up leaves from the flower beds.  That kept his attention for about 2 minutes.  :-(

That afternoon I took the kids to Sonic and bought them their first ever shakes.  They loved them!  I made them drink them outside since they made such a mess out of them.  I couldn't convince them to keep the cup verticle and not to tip it over.  I guess they'll learn that some other day.

We got some wonderful rain on Sunday afternoon but that didn't dampen Carter's spirits.  What a smile!
