We started the weekend off right by celebrating my nephew Jobe's 12th birthday with pizza, brews, and amazing cupcakes. The weather was beautiful so we rode our bikes over with the twins in their iBerts which was great except that Eden spent almost the whole ride trying to take her helmet off...sigh. When she finally decided to enjoy the ride she rested her hands on top of mine on the handle bars which was oh so sweet:)
We had a fun time enjoying the seasonal summer Sam Adams beers and talking about how grown up my nephew is. Jobe greeted us at the front door with hugs, welcomed us inside, and even got drinks for us. What a sweet host and a fine young man!
Megan and the twins had so much fun helping Jobe open his presents and snuggling with doting family members.
Chris had a ton of work to do before we left for North Carolina so I handled the babes while he checked off his to do list. Megan and I decided to take Eden and Remy out back for some chalk action. It wasn't going so well because they kept trying to eat the chalk while completely ignoring our very loud NO'S!
It was getting hot and my patience was running out so I grabbed a bucket, pulled out the hose and filled it with water. It was so hot Eden and Remy actually enjoyed it when I sprayed their legs with the hose (okay maybe Remy didn't truly enjoy it but...he didn't cry). They took turns splashing around in the bucket and soaking their non-swim diapers with water (this was obviously unplanned). Eden tried to stand up and walk and her enormous, water soaked diaper kept dragging her down. She fell on her bum every time and it was hilarious! I finally took our clothing optional sign (courtesy of a long ago gift from Aunt Erica/Cookie) to heart and let them roam around naked.

Saturday night Chris put on this white hat and stayed home with the twins, Megan AND my niece and nephew so my sister and I could have a night out with our cousin Mallory and our friend Anne-Marie. He is hands down the BEST HUSBAND EVER! We enjoyed some amazing signature dishes at Carrabba's followed by a few drinks downtown.
Sunday was boring and rainy so we took an afternoon trip to Target to get some last minute items for our trip to North Carolina. After dinner Chris and I took a stroll around the neighborhood to break in the Kelty hiking backpacks (with beers in hand of course). We got a few funny looks from neighbors but the babies were were super relaxed and enjoyed the comfortable ride.
Four more days until we leave....HOORAY!
