Daddy weekend

The other weekend I had some things I had to do for an upcoming wedding. Both days I was out of the house just after breakfast and back at dinner time if not later (Saturday I wasnt home til 930pm). So the boys had a whole weekend with daddy. They had lots of fun playing playdough, outside in the water, at the mall and putting on mommy's makeup. So I thought I would show you all the fun Erick had with the boys. HEHEHE Erick now understands what I do daily and has been asking what more he can do to help me.

BTW trying on bridesmaid dresses at 8 months pregnant is not fun. It is made even less fun when you are told that in order to get the dress over your tummy/baby you need a dress 6-8 sizes bigger than normal and they dont carry them that big in the store. Then it is made more fun by the store sending you to another store telling you they have your dresses only to drive 2.5 hrs to the store and finding out they dont have the dresses and havent heard from the store that sent you (who told us they called the store they were sending us to). So after trying on dresses all day that dont fit and driving way out of the way it took me something like 4-5 hrs to drive home. FUN. My feet were the size of tree trunks.

First Theatre movie

We planned for a long time when we were going to take the boys to the movies. When we saw the timing of Cars 2 we thought it was perfect. Erick took a mental health day and we went. The boys were all excited and talked about it for days before and after.

The boys made it through the movie with only 2 potty breaks each, a whole tub of popcorn and fruit snacks.

Fun at home!

BEST WEEKEND EVER

This weekend really was fabulous and all that it implies. It really was one of those weekends where things just went right. Not to mention that it was Mothers Day and our 6th wedding anniversary.

Friday- My lovely sister hosted a BBQ/playdate in the park so we went. Erick let me relax and he played with the boys. Laura's nephew chases Ethan when he ran. It was a nice day at the park with yummy food.

Saturday- Erick let me sleep in because we had early plans for Sunday. I slept in til 830. When I got up I ate and then went back to bed for a nap. The sleep was much needed as I am up more than a few times at night now to get comfy or to use the bathroom. Once I got up we all got ready and headed to the zoo. You see 3 weeks ago the boys and I went to the zoo (in Sac a 30 min drive) and we got a year pass. We figured that we only have to use it 3 times and it is paid for. So in 3 weeks I have already gone twice. The boys love it.

This time we went without a stroller. Because Ethan runs he had to hold a hand or get a ride on us. Owen started using his new favorite phrase "I do it my self!" So most the time we heard "I walk by myself!" when we asked him to hold our hands. I was fine with him walking with us as long as he stayed with us. Erick was a little more jumpy but Owen proved he could do it. It was a beautiful there was a light breeze, the zoo had a special event going on so there were booths and performances, it wasnt that busy. Beautiful! We road the carousel and fed the giraffes. Really Amazing. More than once Sac Mag took our pictures. We will have to see if we get in the June issue.

Sunday- We got up as a family when the boys woke. Erick got the boys dressed while I got showered and dressed. Then we swapped. We met my mom at Marie Callendars for brunch and totally gorged. So yummy. The boys got me 2 movies, chocolates, and a card they signed themselves. (side story I knew about the card and chocolates because Owen told me when they came back from shopping a few days ago "Mommy we got books and chocolate candy for you mommy!"). When we came home Erick sent me to the room to watch my movies while he played outside with the boys. When they went down for a nap he came in and we snuggled. Then he went and got us lunch for our Anniversary. When the boys woke we played as a family and Erick cooked the boys dinner. After they were down for the night he went and got us dinner. We opted not to do Anniversary gifts this year due to other events we already attended.

Overall it was a fantastic weekend.
