Relaxing Weekend

Thursday night Abigail got a new nightgown that she is very proud of. It came with slippers and a headband, so she is totally decked out. It's 6:00 pm on Saturday and she is already in it and we are settled for the night...that never happens! It's been such a relaxing weekend and I'm loving it. Today we've done a little shopping, taken naps, eaten at home and rented movies to watch. Last night we went out with the Theaux's and Taylor's for our social. We had dinner at 7 Salsas, yummy, then went to an outdoor concert at Town Center. Every Friday night in August they had free music...this Friday was swing. The kids had a blast dancing and the adults got to just sit and relax. And amazingly enough it was very pleasant outside. I'm not sure that's ever come out of my mouth during the month of August! Below are some pics of the kids. Tomorrow is church and we might head to the Dallas Museum of Art since it's free this weekend!

Family Roots

Growing up in Arkansas, one thing that our families always did was shell peas. Both of our families bought them by the bushels, and we shelled until our fingers were sore! So, this Saturday we went to the Coppell Farmers Market and bought some black eyed peas. Eddy decided to start shelling them tonight and Abigail was totally fasinated, so of course she had to help! Tomorrow night it's peas and cornbread for dinner!
