The Weekend Recap
Thank you for all of your get-well wishes. They worked. Well, that and some antibiotics. By Saturday morning I was feeling pretty good. A little sore still, but fever-free, chill-free, and body-ache-free. It was a nice feeling.
We had a busy weekend together.
Carter planted an earth "garden" with weeds and such from around the yard. He took great care in planting them just so and watering them. In fact, he inspired Jack to start one, too. Unfortunately, they are both in the middle of the yard. Fortunately, the grass is beyond dead in that spot so we won't have to worry about mowing them down.
Taylor found fun in an old broomstick. He would jump off the bench toward the other one and then start again.
We found a rooster walking around our neighbor's yard. It was very odd. They don't have a rooster. They have 4 or 5 very large dogs, but no rooster. (I warned my neighbor about the rooster so they wouldn't let their dogs loose. I haven't seen the rooster lately, so I'm hoping he made it home safely.)
Jack had to swing because he wasn't playing nicely with the other children. He's swinging with an attitude.
You know I'm feeling better here, because I'm jumping on the trampoline with the kids. Yes, that's me ... in my pajama bottoms. We had to get a new trampoline on Saturday because our old one dry-rotted.
Joe opened a coconut for the kids. They hated the milk. (Can you blame them, though?) And they mostly hated the coconut. It was a novelty and they enjoyed the process.

He has fun with his friends and cousins, and sometimes with his brothers, but never expresses it around us. This picture was taken by accident. They were watching Joe open the coconut and I was snapping away.
I love weekends like this.

Glad you're feeling better. Nice shot of Taylor.
You don't look pink and furry on the trampoline!
Great photos, as usual.
so glad you're feeling better!
and the shot of taylor is awesome.
My sisters two youngest girls are like Taylor. They want to be part of the fun, but they really have to play it cool and NOT show that they are enjoying themselves.
You get extra mom points for jumping on the trampoline with your kids. Only the really cool moms do that!
That's a great photo of Taylor.
