Today I’m linking up with our friend Jeannett from Life Rearranged for InstaFriday – the stories behind the pictures.
Last Thursday at Kate’s swim meet, Sam pitched an enormous fit because he wanted to play games on my phone and I wanted him to play games in real life with the 10,000 little kids surrounding him. Enormous fit. Like, we were that family for a few minutes. So I put him in timeout, and while I was ignoring his screams and the looks of all the people around us, I searched for four leaf clovers.
It is my only talent.
Five minutes after the conclusion of Sam’s fit and subsequent time out, this is what he looked like.
That’s right, judgy people, he was tired.
And BTW, when did his legs get so long and skinny? I don’t know how those little matchsticks of his could even be functional.
Friday night, we loaded up and went to the drive in.
Despicable Me 2 was the first feature, and it was fantastic. Loved it. Monsters U played next but we only made it about halfway through before hitting the wall of tired. As soon as we got in the car and headed home it started pouring down rain, so we were glad that we left when we did.
Saturday, Kate and I went on a date.
Because we are super fancy, we went to Bravo. The boys dropped us off and went on a man date at Fazoli’s, because they are not super fancy. And also because they like plastic bibs. Then we all went to Kilwins for dessert.
Sunday night the kids went to VBS and Andy and I went on a super fancy date to hike at the local nature reserve. I fell in the mud and Andy had to hose me off in the front yard before I was fit to go inside our house. We know how to party when the kids are away.

love your muddy date!

I have neverevereverevereverever EVER found a four-leaf clover in my LIFE! And I think Sammy got those matchstick legs from his daddy-o, who seems to get around just fine. And I hope the judgy people have their moment in a much more humiliating place! And Kate’s pretty beautiful and you are both very fancy and I loved Despicable Me 2, TOO!
Our secretary was just telling me a story about how her daughter would find 4-leaf clovers during track meets and bring them home to dry and save for luck at big track meets. The morning of a big meet our secretary put all the dried clovers in a baggie and put them in her daughter’s track bag. Well someone saw them and told the teacher she had weed. Her daughter was dragged out of class, her stuff searched, the police called, her parents called in, and my dad had to show up all to prove they were clovers, not weed. We were laughing now that her daughter is grown but she said it wasn’t that funny then.
