Weekend Recap

What I thought was going to be another quiet weekend at home, turned into a busy weekend that FLEW by!  Our weekend started with visitors on Thursday night.  Our friends from Texas spent their Spring Break in Orlando at Disney and decided to stop and visit on Thursday night.  We enjoyed hot dogs and hamburgers, mac and cheese (with jalapeños for the adults) and salad for dinner.  The kids enjoyed about 2 1/2 hours of solid play.  After they left on Friday morning, it was back to work for Mommy and Daddy.  The weather was beautiful, so JW and I had our "snack" on the front porch.  Graham Cracker and juice for JW and a glass of wine for Mommy.


Our neighbors were out playing catch, so we spent a bit in their yard with the baseball and JW's soccer ball.  Not wanting to be done playing, JW played in the backyard for another hour.  This kid loves to be outside!  We made fish and chips for dinner and headed to bed somewhat early.

Saturday was beautiful as well!  JW had "soccer" first thing and then a play date at the park.  It was a busy morning for him and resulted in a 3 hour nap!!  Daddy had tennis  and then his long training run (he is running a 1/2 marathon at the end of the month).  We ended the day at dinner with Mollie, Lauren and Noah.

At the end of the lesson, they get to play with the "squishy" balls....(TWSS)

Sporting Mommy's shades after soccer.  It was bright!


Sunday was another warm day, but the sun wasn't shining as much.  We went to church, or "Sunday School" as JW calls it.  Then to get the car washed - oh my gosh - that thing was nasty!  In fact, I think it needs a detail.  I'm not sure how it gets so bad - maybe it's the toddler in the back who insists on bringing drinks and food in the car :)  Momma played tennis while JW and Daddy played outside.  It was back outside for more playtime after nap - I seriously do no think our child can get enough of playing outside.  It's a good thing our back yard is small and we have a ton of windows on the back of the house - he can play out there for short periods of time by himself.  I did indulge in my one Guinness in honor of St Patrick's Day.  (We are in Lent and I gave up carbonated beverages....but it was Sunday, so I splurged.)

It still doesn't taste as good as it did direct from the source in Ireland......


It was such a fun weekend.  I look forward to being outside more with JW.  He's absolutely has a blast. Hopefully he will start riding the bike he asked for from Santa but never touched.  (Santa got him a balance bike.)

Spence has a tricycle and loves it. We've been trying to decide on getting him a balance bike for his birthday or not. I wish I knew if JW liked his! Spence would ride his bike or his scooter all the time if I let him! That and golf keeps him a happy boy!!
