The retreat was, as I suspected, VERY boring and long and I was glad to finally get home on Friday evening to start the weekend!
We had a rockin' good weekend doing all whole lot of nothing but fun stuff for us and Matthew.
We hit the Farmer's Market and listened to all kinds of good music and watch the odd tap dancing lady who freaks me out personally but the kids seem to like her though Matthew clung to me in fear of her clogging feet but whatev, it's a good growth experience. We went to the best park in B-town and burned all of the energy Matthew could possibly muster plus some. We hit the mall, two grocery stores and a second park on Sunday evening (not the best but it was nice!)
I hit the bike trail for a 50 minute ride - it was lovely but my ass hurts (TMI?) Matthew spent most of the weekend rolling in the dirt - literally. He was one dirty boy but he was also one happy child as well! We washed both cars (inside and out minus vacuuming) and Matthew's bike with the cool new hose that Kevin bought. Matthew had so much fun cleaning the cars the first thing he said this morning was "clean cars?"
We did house work including vacuuming the upstairs (so you can bring your kids over without fear of hair balls attacking!), sweeping the front porch, moving what seems like 50 bags of sand (need sand for your sandbox? We have enough sand to keep that thing filled until Matthew is 17 or so...) and FINALLY doing something with the pile of mulch in front of the house. It was so cute I documented it for your viewing pleasure!
Please note the fun shirt I bought for Matthew at Target this weekend! I love those "Mom" shirts! I still want to find the Coexist t-shirt and the "I do my own stunts" shirt (but NOT in white.) Do you love the hat? My poor child always has that huge hat on and I plan to buy this hat for EVEN more coverage. Matthew is always the only kid at the playground, beach, out & about with a huge hat on his head. Oh well, red haired, blue eyed boys do not fair well (get it, get it?!?!) in the sun burn department so he will have to suffer through the hat phase as long as I am in charge!
How was your weekend?
On a side note, I most likely will not be able to post as much from now on. I am making work a priority - I know, what a novel concept. I will try to write as often as possible but won't be able to spend as much time on here or e-mail. I hardly touch our computer at home (except to check on work... ah the cruelty of life) but that may have to be the option to keep up on everything!
