Our Weekend

Last weekend we went to Washtucna for some family time with Keith's parents and two of his siblings. It was a wonderful time, and we thoroughly enjoyed the 100+ degree weather every day (I'm not joking, both Keith & I are heat-lovers!) We ended up leaving Thursday afternoon instead of Friday morning, which worked out great to have two full days there. Keith had taken Friday off, and when he found out he was getting home early on Thursday, we figured it was a great opportunity to get out of dodge!
Friday we ended up doing some things are the house (& town) while Patrick & Theresa were at work, which kept us busy. Hannah and I cleaned around the house for the company, since we surprised Mom & Dad St.Hilaire by showing up a day early! Keith mowed a couple lawns in town for Patrick, which allowed Patrick to come right home after work. It felt good to stay busy, and we even managed to walk down to the school to visit Theresa, receptionist-extroidinaire! Hannah had fun showing us "her" preschool classroom, coat hook, and lunch room from when she went to preschool there for a week in the spring.
The rest of the weekend was spent hanging out & talking with the family, eating good food, playing games, watching movies, playing in the backyard, and swimming at the city pool A LOT. Hannah went to a garage sale with Grandma, Aunt Julie, Uncle Adam and Cousin Ruger, and she made out with a whole bundle of stuff for a whopping $2--which included, among other things, 4 independent, non-matching princess dress-up shoes. Gotta love garage sales!
Saturday I had planned a little celebration for Keith's graduation from the apprenticeship, and I asked everyone to say a few words about Keith and how awesome he is. :) Keith doesn't like this kind of attention, but I know it's important and good for men to be affirmed with words, so I wanted to do it anyway! He was okay with it, and he was smiling the whole time. ;) We had a delicious BBQ dinner with lots of salads and sides and finished off with pumpkin and chocolate creme pies from Costco. Yum!
We left on Sunday, after a weekend that sped by way too fast. Keith and I are already looking forward to Patrick & Theresa's visit in late October, as we get to host THEM and do some fun things while they're here!
We love our families!!
