We had a fun weekend and Lonnie said he had the best Father's Day yet. I told him that I hope to make him say that every year!
Saturday morning started out with Blakely sleeping in until 10! She and I are still getting over this lingering sickness so I am attributing her sleepiness to that, mixed with a growth spurt. She has been eating constantly as well.
Lonnie and I woke up on our own at about 9 and couldn't believe it. We got to slowly wake up and chat and just hang out. That hasn't happened in 20 months. It was really nice. B finally woke up and we went to breakfast at our local place that we go to often. We hadn't been in a few weeks so they were happy to see us. Well, happy to see B anyway. :)
After that we went to a watersports/boating store to get two new batteries for our boat. Why? Because ours were stolen! Ugh. We didn't even realize because it had been a few days since we were out on the boat. Our neighbor mentioned that a bunch of boat batteries were stolen in the neighborhood and we went to check. Sure enough they were both gone. We reported it and ,apparently, whoever did it took about 100 of them. I guess they just drove up the lake and went dock to dock. ASSHOLES.
Anyway, this store turned out to be a huge hit. They had all of their tubes and party floats out and Blakely was just in heaven. She jumped on them, laid on them, pushed them around, and tried to roll off of them. It was a tad difficult to get her to leave!
Saturday afternoon we went over to a friends house to meet their new twins. They also have a daughter that just turned 5 so her and Blakely played together. This was really the first time B has been around babies. She did really well. She kept saying baby and pointing to them. She patted them on the head, held their hand and even kissed their toes. It was really cute. She did try to step on the boy at one point but I was right there. Oops :/
Do I even need to say it? BABYFEVEROMG
We woke up leisurely again on Sunday morning (thank you, B!). Blakely and I came upstairs and wrapped Lonnie's presents while he was showering. I got us everything bagels (his favorite) and pink grapefruits (also a fave). He opened his gifts from us. Blakely got him two coffee cups with pictures of them on it. One he can take to work and the other can stay home so he and B can share coffee on the weekend. While we were wrapping them she kept saying AH-FEE DAD-DEE..over and over. She loves to sneak coffee from daddy. Here she is with daddy...drinking his coffee, reading his newspaper and stealing all of his food. He wouldn't let anyone but her do that!
We had a lot more pallet on the floor time. It was rainy the first half of the day so it was a perfect day to snuggle.
Happy Monday!
Perfect weekend!! Emily will not watch movies yet, I wish she would because I am getting brain damage from all this Mickey...
ReplyDeleteAvery won't watch movies, no matter what they are!!! What a great weekend and it would be nice to sleep in, but the best we have ever had is 8:00. Though it is usually 6:00.
ReplyDeleteSounds like another perfect weekend! That really stinks that someone drive around the lake stealing batteries. Why the heck to do people do such awful things to others??? I think you should get B that BIG blue tube just to play on. That thing looks super fun! EVERY.SINGLE.TIME I hold a new baby I get baby fever like whoa!!! And I am loosing my mind more and more with every passing day with the two I already have. There is something about a fresh little baby!
ReplyDeleteI'm jealous of all the fun stuff you guys do together on the weekend! I wish we had more options around us, but maybe I just need to get my creative juices flowing and when we leave to stay with Dustin in college this weekend start arranging things for us to do together. Before you know it, summer will be over for sure. I babysat twin boys at the lake this weekend and HOLY BABY FEVER...yeah. So I still want twins. :) B will make the best big sister EVER!
ReplyDeleteWe watched Monsters, Inc this weekend too! She liked it, but not as much as her Toy Story movies.
ReplyDeleteGlad you had a wonderful weekend, even if your boat batteries got stolen. GRR!
Aww what a perfect weekend. I love the family snuggles and movies on the floor! These are the moments I looked forward to before kids and so glad we can do them now. Love the photos of B playing in the tubes. Looks like fun! :)
