Just Hanging Out

 What a weekend we have had.  We did all kinds of things, and yet, really not much at all.  I ended up not feeling well last weekend, so I didn't do much cleaning around the house.  That's never good, because with two kids, a big house and a working mom, it quickly piles up.  I don't often let things go, because honestly, it is much easier to keep up with stuff than it is to catch up.  Anyway, I was able to do some catch up throughout the week, but I did most of my catching up this weekend.  Thankfully, I didn't need to work a full day on Friday, so I was able to knock out the grocery shopping and a few other errands amidst some play time with Andrew, which freed up Saturday.

On Saturday, I got up early and was done with most of my cleaning by about 930.  We met my cousin, Jessi and her son Jordan for a play date at Slinky Action Zone.  While Jordan and Andrew played, Jessi and I looked over some old photos that Jessi got from my aunt (her mom) of Jessi, her brother Ian and me as little kids.  We spent a lot of time together, the three of us, with my grandmother, when we were little.  It was great to look at the photos.  Some of them were absolutely hysterical!  I can't wait to scan them and show them to you all.  A big thanks to Jessi for getting the pictures to me!

Yesterday afternoon, Andrew and I ran a few more errands and then just played outside.  The weather has just been too nice to do anything but play!  Here are some of the cell phone shots I've taken over the last few days:

Fear not, fair lady.  I'm here to protect you!

A Super Hero naturally attracts rays of sunlight where ever he goes!

Climbing is hard work, but I can do it!

It's O.K.  to know your limitations.  Even Spiderman gets scared sometimes.

What boy doesn't want to climb through a giant bubble wand?

Now this is a beast I can tame!

Get out of my way, Bad Guys!  I'm on the loose!

Too bad we can't fill those water guns with weed eater and set him free in the yard.

This is natural attire for Slinky Action Zone on a 75 degree day - a fleece hat, fleece lined Crocs and a Nerf gun.  Hey, Vogue, here's your next cover model!

This place is lined with webs for me to practice my climbing!

Beep!  Beep!

Andrew and Jordan were forced to pose for a quick snap shot in the parking lot.

Who knows what today holds.  When I looked at the weather forecast yesterday it said thunderstorms, but it looks like another beautiful day outside right now.  I spent this morning getting food ready for the week.  Lunches are packed, meals through Thursday are made, our clothes are ready for the week and the house is clean.  For now, the day is wide open.  Jacob and my parents will be home from Florida some time today, and we are very excited to see them.  I wish every weekend could be as simultaneously productive and relaxing at the same time!
