This weekend, Reid was home. We didn't plan anything particularly awesome to do, but it was nice just having the family together. We did get to go to the Rodeo on Friday, where Esther tried to catch a pig. She was unsuccessful, until a soft-hearted older boy helped her get one, and then gave her the dollar prize for catching it. Isaac said he was going to go catch a pig with his little sister, but his fears of getting trampled on by the bigger kids overcame him at the last moment.

On Saturday, we simply just did chores and the kids just played. I gave them some sidewalk chalk to keep them busy since they seemed to want to play outside where their dad was working on bikes in the garage. They came in totally covered in chalk. Reid told me they were pretending to be "tattooed." I still can't get over Isaac's face all covered in chalk.

Isaac also spent lots of creative juice and dedicated concentration on building his own big block creation. He was very proud of himself and asked to have his picture taken.

I love low-key weekends like this. But now it's Monday and we are back to structure again. I suppose it's the changes in life that make the now more beautiful.
