Soccer, play date and barn work

If I have to say so myself, I had a great Saturday.  I spent the night at the Welden Hotel on Friday night and woke up to 2 of my favorite smiling faces.  We had breakfast and then off to soccer.  They played at the same time and right next to each other so I was able to watch both play, and they both did great. 

After soccer, I decided to kidnap the kids for the day so Mary could get a few things done.  So we packed up and headed to RAD Farms.  The kids painted signs for the wedding, rode the 4-wheeler, got to ride with Papa on the mule, watched a movie in the barn and rode their bikes.  When Mary came to get them, I think they were pretty pooped out and starting to break down.  But I did my job, get them nice and tired and sent them home.  Love those 2!

Dad also came down to spray the yard one more time before the wedding, which was much needed and you can already see a different (aka things dying).  I am truly blessed with an amazing dad. 

Ryan also made some major headway in the barn too.  He put up a rubber baseboard (which looks amazing), put up the trim around the door, added some support structure boards to the frame, and cleaned the window sills out.  I painted the doors in the barn and also the exterior trim around the doors and made some signs for the wedding.  The kids and I moved some plants around, and cleaned up some of the barn.

After a long days work, Ryan and I hunkered down on the couch with a Cinco de Mayo fiest and watched the Kentucky Derby that I had taped.  And I should have bet, because I picked the winning horse - I'll have another.  He was named that because his owner always said that when his wife asked if he wanted another cookie.  And you know me and cookies... I figured it was a sign.

A great Saturday!
