L bailed on us this weekend and went up-north with his Nana and Papa. And had a ball. Between swimming, jumping off the dock, sliding down the slide (head first) into the lake and going to ride the train, I don’t think he sat still for more than 5 minutes. At least that’s what it sounded like. And I am just going to venture a guess that he didn’t miss B and I one bit?? I think it’s awesome that he gets to go off and do big boy stuff. I’d hate for him to miss out on anything fun because of W, so I am super thankful that my parents take him up-north. Let’s be honest, little W doesn’t want to play out on the lake all day. Or ride on a mini train. He wants to sleep in a cozy place and drink (or not drink depending on his mood) bottles.

I spent most of the Friday / Saturday catching up on my sweepstakes (I was so so so behind) and blogging. I mean, in between taking care of W of course. And of course I did laundry. Made some phone calls, you know, normal stuff us retirees do. B worked on staining L’s swingset (it’s looking like new), cutting the grass and doing other B type stuff. He also dragged me out to get fro-yo.  Seriously.  He made me.  And then he forced me to fill my cup with Cake Batter, Brownie Batter and Red Velvet Cake.  That B!  And of course, he ran in the Warrior Dash yesterday. L wasn’t home yet, so just W and I went to watch him run. These races always crack me up.  He got enough donations for St. Jude to qualify for the hospitality tent, which W and I took total advantage of.  Hello shaded tent for me and my baby!

And I cannot forget the Games.  Like the rest of the world, I settled in on Friday to watch the Opening Ceremony.  And screw you NBC for not letting me watch it live on the internet.  Every Games I look so forward to watching the Opening Ceremony.  And during every show, I think, “this is so weird”.  Seriously, if someone has to explain what I am watching, is it really worth me watching?  Shouldn’t I just be able to follow along?  Like a friend of mine said, it’s like having to put a name tag on your Halloween costume.

Oh and I almost forgot.  W and I hit up the Target toy clearance on Friday.  We picked up some cheap Moon Dough for L (he loves that stuff) and a new tummy time toy for W.  We went kind late so there wasn’t much left, but I am pleased with our finds!

What’d you do this weekend?  Let’s hear it!
