Memorial Day Weekend...
May. 26th, 2008 09:58 pmAbout as lovely as a weekend can be.
Saturday: Weekend errands, lunch, rest time for the kiddo, and then we spent the entire afternoon outside, doing not much of anything (or lots of nothing) in the yard. While barefoot. First sunburn of the summer for me.
Sunday: I skated 3 miles while M and TRex went for their Sunday morning donuts. And then we went outside. Came inside for lunch and rest time. After rest, TRex declared that she didn't want to go to the pool - so we spent the rest of the afternoon outside doing pretty much the same stuff we did on Saturday. Again with the bare feet. Then we had a "picnic" in the living room and as we were cleaning up, M called for us to look outside. There on our sidewalk was TRex's friend J along with her whole family - and let me tell you, there are dogs in our neighborhood that are no DEAF from the screaming that emanated from my child. J's big brother just learned how to ride without training wheels this weekend and they were biking to Dairy Queen and did we want to go with them? So we hopped in the car and met them there and soon had three very chocolatey kids on our collective hands. First sunburn of the summer for M. Oh, and in the evening I drafted & started using a new pattern for hosen for me.
Monday: TRex and I spent the morning at J's house with another girl from their school (who is in the older 3-year-old class and who will be in their pre-K class in the fall) and eventually a friend of J's brother's. Soccer, tee-ball, etc. were played. I was REQUIRED to pet the puppy. (No, really. We walked in the door and as soon as Juneau saw me she was as underfoot as a puppy can be until I sat down and paid proper attention to her ears.) Walked back home, TRex napped and we took advantage of what was SUPPOSED to a miserable afternoon to run up to the outlets - TRex needed shorts, M needed new dress shoes, and I needed foundation garments to go under the green dress (my old strapless bra did NOT fit anymore... and I needed a slip). All of those goals were achieved, and the weather was still nice enough to play outside before & after dinner. (And when we chucked the kid in the bath, her feet were BLACK and the rest of her was completely covered in sidewalk chalk.)
