What a fun long weekend we have had! Plans were to head to the Quad Cities and visit Rudy's family and see his aunts who were flying in to stay with his dad for a month. However, after some turn of events, Rudy decided it was better for us to stay here and he would go up Saturday night and stay for abit and come home. It was going to be quite Chaotic and full of mahem and he was afraid that I would get overstimulated (I'm worse than a child in that aspect and my mood quiickly turns sour) and that Vaughn wouldnt have space to play and be on her schedule. It ended up being for the best becuase we were able to use some baseball tickets I had lying around that my work had given me at the beginning of summer and Friday night was the perfect night for baseball. A long time ago I committed a major sort of lie and signed Rudy and I up for Red Robin Birthday Burgers every. single. month. They go to our junk mail so typically we miss them but I cought mine this month and printed it out. Basically the night was free. We enjoyed red robin for dinner(which i think gave me slight food poisoning) and then went to the game and let me tell you- the weather and atmosphere was just what the doc ordered. We had a blast and the fire works were stinking awesome. the best ive seen I think. It was so much fun. We made it to four games in all this summer as a family and rudy made it to many more with his work and baseball team. Now its time for Football mindset.
Speaking of football....GO HAWKS! The game on Saturday was too close for comfort but made for an exciting game, a great start to the saturday and full blown excitement in the kinney family for some good ole Hawkeye football season!!! This coming weekend will be football all around in our household. IA/IA state game saturday and the Bears kickoff game on Sunday. I wont tell Rudy, but I am prettty excited for both games!
Sunday night we were invited to my parents for a bonfire. We had so much fun. My mom made a cute picnic and we had some good ole fashion bonfire food (beans, hotdogs, chips, roasted mallows) and papa and gma had the golf cart out for rides. While the kiddos came close to roasting themselves many times in the fire, we got through the night in one piece (and non-roasted kiddos). They are so funny togheter- gabi rolled down the hill and within seconds, vaughn and andre were following....i love that they had no care of grass stains, bugs, or rolling into the fire) We had some good conversations and did a (pathetic) round of story telling. Andre enchanted us with "sky...star....sky...star" for the latter part of the evening and Gabi was excited to tell about preschool. I just love when we are all able to get together and relax. I wish I would have set up my tent and we could have camped out under the "star.....sky....star....sky".
And that brings us to today. No big plans other than a walk and some painting time with Vaughn. Laundry and picking up. Rudy will be home this afternoon and Vaughn has been asking about him all morning. I hope everyone is having an awesome long weekend. The best part is...this means only a 4 day work week! YIPPEE!!!
