A Slow Weekend

After a busy and tiring first week of school, ballet, and gymnastics, a couple playdates, and a party for Mommy and Daddy, this handful of Heppers was ready for a slow weekend. Thankfully our calendar was clear, and we took full-advantage of the free time. We played outside, went to the playground, and even did a little baking. I did make Paul cut down two trees on Saturday, so I guess the weekend wasn't completely low key for everyone. But he did a great job, and we think the end result is well worth the work!

Caroline's first day at ballet with buddies Ava and Mary Michael.

Noah's Children had a fundraiser at Sweetfrog this past week.

We were only too happy to join in.

A little Saturday morning cartoon watching.

Paul at work (and the before picture).

After - I am SO happy with the results.

Can you spot my little people?

Caroline cruisin' to the playground on her bike.

Working hard to get up a hill.

And she's off!

Margaret had a blast at the playground. 

This girl can climb!

Julia commandeered Caroline's bike for the ride home. 

Helping Mommy make muffins. Julia LOVES to be a part of the baking process...

...and gets very upset when it is no longer her turn.

Happy helper Margaret.

Julia dressed herself to take Isabel for a Sunday afternoon walk.

Margaret wasn't quite ready for the weekend to be over. She came back downstairs after bedtime for some extra snuggles with Mommy.
