friday nights

We have instituted Friday Dinner and a Movie Nights in the Campbell house. Last week I was looking for a way out of cooking so at around 4:30 I asked Shawn if he would humor me and get everyone in the car. He looked wary but curiosity won out.
I drove about 5 minutes down the road to our first stop -where else - the strawberry patch. I know what you're thinking (Again?!) but Shawn hasn't been yet! Besides, the berries are still ripe and just $1.15/lb so why not? After a quickly filling our basket and completely staining one tiny purple dress, we were off to our next stop.

Another 5 minutes down the road, seemingly in the middle of nowhere, is a tiny Mennonite bakery and bulk store. There we purchased a glass bottle of milk, a hunk of pepper jack cheese and a loaf of Sourdough bread just minutes out of the oven (Seriously, we could not have timed that one better).
Back home we had a totally messy carpet picnic and then a showing of The Lion King.
Tristan got the best seat in the house...

This Friday, Shawn and I might have a real dinner and a movie date while Tristan and Kenna hang out with my parents who just arrived last night! Shawn is now officially on post deployment leave so we are going to enjoy some time with Grandad and Yiayia and then sneak away for a couple of days to sail, drink iced coffee, wander around coastal towns and have actual conversations that don't include words or phrases like, potty or poopy or tell your sister sorry.
This should be nice!
