It has been a while since I have had a weekend where that was nothing pressing that we had to do. At least that prevented me from getting things done or just making it for an exhausting week because you had no rest time. You know, just your average busy family. It normally gets like that for us starting in february and runs in spurts through the year. So, it was nice to be able to spend Friday and Saturday home not having to go anywhere. We BBQ's both of those days which was way nice. Since I am not home during the week for dinner I like to take advantage of that time when I am home and make them some good meals.
Friday morning we started it off bright and early at 7:30 -8, we took Andrew to see the movie Cars. We saw the first showing at 9:30 and I tell ya, if you hate packed movie's that is the way to go. When we pulled into the parking lot I thought there as not going to be anyone in the movie. There were some but certainly not half full. At first Andrew was watching the previews. I am sure thinking that the screen was huge. He was in and out of the movie. The first 20 min or so were solid he watched it for the most part. Then about 30 min or so he was squirming... talking... saying he wanted juice...I finally got a popcorn request, and stepped out and got a medium. That kept him quiet for a little bit and we all 3 eat some while Andrew held the bag the whole time. I was actually surprised he did not hog the bag. After that was no longer of interest it was back to talking and moving from daddy's lap back to mama's . Finally plopping him back in the middle seat. By about half way through the movie he had already worked off his sox and shoes - lol-. I was not surprised at all actually. It was a really cute movie actually. It was certainly a fun family time , but we know now that we will wait a couple more years for the movie thing.
After that we went home and we filled up Andrew's little pool in the back yard. It is nothing compared to uncle Tom's mini Water world, but he had a good time. My brother called me while getting Andrew's swim trunks on to ask for a ride him. It was his last day of school and did not want to carry all his stuff home ( 2 binders and 2 sweaters ) what a burden that would have been. However , I was sympathetic because it was hot and his last day of school. Besides he has a job now so I feel more willing to help him out with things. So , Andrew swam while I took off for about 15 min. When I can back I sat out back for a bit then moving in to the house after the sun got to me. Watched a little TV keeping an eye on my baby. After an hour or so I brought him in for lunch. He had his usual PBJ sammmy ( sandwich). And then off to a nice little nap he went. We all took a nap actually. After being attacked by Frank trying to get in my bed .. Since Steven was already there nice and comfy with both Dogs... Frank did not want me to disturb * rolling eyes* , I just went and laid with Andrew, which I think he liked.
So, we all napped for a couple hours. We , fired of the BBQ to make some chicken while Grandma and Papa stopped by. They actually took them bye bye with them for a couple hours. Thought it would be nice for a quiet time dinner with Steven. Turned out he was actually sour at me for letting him go. A nice dinner turned into just being ignored =(. They dropped him back off Steven had the idea to go to the park. Off we went with the soccer ball. It was so much fun... was nice and cool ... Andrew was being a crabby patty because me and daddy were kicking the ball back and forth. Andrew's idea of soccer is picking up the ball, running , and then dropping it and giving it a little kick ... -lol- It was kinda cute! After that we just headed back home... Andrew played his Thomas trains and mama cooked Brownies while daddy watched some TV. Andrew later had a bath that he was a rotten egg about. But once it was over and back to playing trains he was fine.
