This past weekend, the kids had longer visits with each parent. It was 8am-4pm with mom on Saturday and the same with dad on Sunday. Both parents were on time for picking up and dropping off, which is an accomplishment on its own... or at least surprising to us.
After Saturday's visit with their mom, Leonard and Penny came home, but didn't have a ton to say about what they had done. They ate breakfast at their mom's house and they went to one of those places for kids with all of the trampolines and bouncy things. Then they went out to eat for lunch. Neither one of them took naps, but the important thing is that she did have them lay down for an hour or so of "rest time"... even if they couldn't sleep.
Sunday's visit with their dad was much more fun this week. There was a NASCAR race in town this weekend, so after church, they went out to the racetrack and the kids got to see a bunch of the cars up close. After they were done there, they went back to his house and watched the race on television. They were super excited to see them on tv, since they had just seen the very same cars in person. They were even tired enough to take a nap at his house.
Overall, they seemed to have a good weekend and their parents proved (at least to us) that perhaps things will be ok when they go home. Obviously, the continual outings will come to an end, because they are not in a position to keep those expenses up, but it could still be alright. It's definitely going to be a shock to the system the first time the kids are with them for an entire weekend and they can't afford to go anywhere and everywhere all weekend, but that's just part of the deal.
