A late weekend round up

This post is so last weekend but the good news is that in real life I am usually on time if not early so the blog world will just have to settle for late!

We had a really nice, busy, and eventful weekend.  It had been over a month since we last saw Nana and Pops so they drove up for a visit.  Nana and Pops are rock stars in Aiden's eyes and lucky for me they are incredibly helpful when they are here.  As my neighbor Jolene said, "everyone needs a Nana and Pops".  

Prior to their arrival I took Aiden to the toys store for a treat.  After a couple weeks of me noticing a little bit of attitude in my 4 year old, I revamped my parenting and boy if I haven't noticed such a wonderful difference! " A" had been doing so well with his manners and following directions for a few weeks so it was his choice...1 small toy...

Decisions, decisions...

Once N and P arrived we headed to dinner...I love going out to eat and they know I don't get to do it much with Leif being gone!

Saturday we went to the mall...N an P took the kiddos and I went off BY MYSELF to shop!  How sweet it is :-)

I didn't have to worry about the entire dressing room seeing me in my undies when Aiden decided to open the door or even worse no one was startled by Aiden peeking his head under the dressing room door with a friendly "hello"!  

We were also able to get a family pic...

We headed to our sweet neighbor Brayden's birthday party where all of our wonderful friends were...

I was able to take a nap, take a shower AND run on the treadmill uninterrupted!  It is truly the little things!

Of course I already wrote about Ladies night...

Sunday we went out to breakfast and then, despite the rain, we headed to White's Nursery for a little fun...

Easton loves the hay and the pumpkins...

They had a haunted house and Aiden insisted on going through not once but twice...my boy loves suspense and to be startled!

We decorated pumpkins...

Another family picture...

And I was also able to get some fall flowers to spruce up my porch...

Aiden loves his play time with Pops and is always so sad to see them go...

Thanks for a fun weekend and all of your help Nana and Pops!
