We seriously had a jam packed weekend... I'm almost too tired to recap, but well here goes nothing...
Texas A&M is great for 100s of reasons. The spirit, the tradition, the school pride, the obvious superiority over that "other" school in Texas (love ya, Niki)... but one of my favorite things about my alma mater is simply stated in our core values: Selfless Service.
The Big Event is a wonderful example of this value. Thousands of students give up one Saturday to just say "thanks" the the BCS community for their support. Ryan and I took full advantage of this selflessness and signed up our backyard as a project!
Our group of students hard at work (that old flower bed was a LOT bigger/more full of roots than we anticipated!)
They worked so hard! The flower bed is gone and the dead trees outlining the fence are gone! I am so mad that I forgot to take a pic of the trash pile!
We like to say "thanks" back by providing a yummy lunch!
Remember the before?
Well, this is the "in progress"...
I'm sure that you can't tell there is much of a difference but we can! Once the grass grows in, our yard will have gained a ton of extra play space for the kids. Now we just have to plant some flowers and rearrange some toys and *maybe* even try to extend our deck... but that will have to wait for a while!
Once we got cleaned up from this project we headed to celebrate a special birthday of Miss Caroline Munson!! She turns three tomorrow and we celebrated at a local gymnastics place!
Cameron and Caroline
This was a great place for a party! The kids had tons to do and were able to blow off TONS of energy which gave us all quiet nights later! Emmy even had some fun on the giant slide...
Everyone had such a great time and we loved celebrating this sweet girl! Caroline is a doll. She is smart, sassy and spectacularly cute! We love you, Caro... thanks for inviting us to celebrate with you!
It was a fun weekend indeed... up next....
Adding a pop of color to our newly expanded back yard...
