The boys had fun climbing, swinging, sliding and playing together. We just had to make sure we wore our shoes or our feet would burn! Caleb liked to climb up and slide down. Matthew liked to walk across the bridge. They both liked to swing. So much fun!
- picked up KFC and had a picnic in the park. Unfortunately, it was so windy that our food kept blowing away! But fortunately, a little gopher kept coming to visit us and the boys thought it was so much fun! And we played too!
- planted a garden in our backyard. This is the first time I've ever planted vegetables. We planted peas, radishes, carrots and lettuce. We also planted some sunflowers! Matthew was a big help and he is looking forward to seeing some plants soon.
- Rick and I went out for Chinese food. I've been wanting Chinese food for a long time, but Rick often gets it at his lunch meetings for work, so he never feels like having it. So yummy! And thanks Grandma, for watching the boys.
- took Caleb to the doctor. He hasn't been feeling well and then he had a bunch of nosebleeds (he had never had a nosebleed). The doctor says it's just a cold and maybe some allergies. But at least I don't have to worry. By the way, Caleb does not like the sight of blood. At all. Poor guy.
- finished my cards for the card of every other month club. My inspiration for my cards was this quilt. I'll share my cards a bit later. Now I need to pack them up and get to the post office.
- bought my bedding plants and put them in. I have a flower bed in the front and some pots in the backyard. I also made a little herb garden in a container on the deck.
Bonus photos:This one loves being outside:
Caleb talked me into making strawberry daiquiris while we drew outside! 
I hope you all had a nice weekend too! What did you do?
Caleb liked to run around and he also played restaurant. "Did you order a burger?" "Here's your salad, Mommy". 
He also liked hiding out on top in the little "house". He even convinced me to go up there with him , even though I didn't think I'd fit. I did. So we played house for quite awhile-sleeping, making lunch... you know, stuff like that.
Matthew had fun at the playground in the more traditional way... sliding down the slide...
climbing to the very top (such a big boy!)...
and swinging! 
He learned how to pump his legs on the swing to make it go! It was a pretty big deal.
Going to the playground in the evening was such a nice way to end each day. I'm so grateful for those carefree days of fun and play. :)
