Memoir Monday: Birthday weekend

Another weekend has come and gone. Working weekends always go that much faster but this one was a whirlwind but I had so much fun! It seems that all my weekends lately have been whirlwinds though.

Friday night our local city's festival was starting Friday and they have a kick-off parade and fireworks show so my mom and I took Leo. We left around 5:15 and didn't get home until almost 11. It was pretty warm but not bad. We were sweaty for awhile but then after we started walking around after the parade we cooled off. And the fireworks were pretty good too. All in all a pretty nice evening.

Saturday I worked all day but after work my mom had told me that a family friend who recently had a baby was back in town visiting her parents and they were having a reception for her (and the baby). Her baby had to have open heart surgery and so it was really relieving that they were able to come from the hospital with a healthy(ish) baby. He is beautiful and has a head full of hair! I was only going to go for awhile and we got there at 7 and I didn't get home until after 9:30. Again...we had a really nice time and it was wonderful to see and old friend and her baby!

And finally...Sunday was my BIRTHDAY! The big 2-7! It's so weird being so close to 30. I don't feel old but just weird! But I had a pretty awesome day. We got up and just hung around the house for the morning and then for lunch we went out to a restaurant that we had never taken Leo to. He actually liked it and behaved the ENTIRE time. It was a birthday miracle! Then we hit up Best Buy because I got a Kindle for my birthday so we got a Kindle cover and book light. So that's pretty awesome. And then we went to Old Navy and I got a new bathing suit, 2 dresses and a pair of flip flops. Later Sunday night I started my bowling league. That's right. I'm in a bowling league. With my mom and one of my cousins. And we were (not) awesome. But we did have a lot of fun! It's a Sunday night league and it goes through August. So hopefully before the end of the league I will have a super-awesome average!

Whew. That was a very busy weekend but so much fun! Hope you all had a great weekend!

Rabbit Stew

Here's a question for the class...

What happens when a giant rabbit tries to jump through a diamond in a chain link fence?

Anybody? Anybody? Bueller?

Well let me tell you. It gets stuck. And then it dies. And then as a homeowner we had to clean it up. And when a rabbit is in full-on rigor mortise (sp?) it makes it even more difficult. So here we have the hubby on one side with a shovel trying to lift one end and I'm on the other side of the fence pulling the legs (apparently this rabbit didn't have a lucky rabbit leg) (what? Too soon?!) from the other trying to free it from it's literal death grip. It was awful. But the rabbit is now in our trash can to sit for a week because, of course, our trash was picked up this morning.

Ahhhh...the joys of being a home owner. And then as I'm sitting here typing this (after multiple hand-washings) the hubby asks if I'm blogging about this. DUH! It's blogging gold!

WILW

Hi hi! It's Wednesday. Thankfully! We are home safe and sound from vacation and back in the working grind. Go see what everyone else is loving this week. I'm sure it's all rainbows and unicorns! Again...I'm still recuperating from vacation (seeing that I'm writing this post and the previous post at the same time) so we will bullet point it up.

• I'm loving that this upcoming Sunday is my birthday. I think we're (the hubby and I) are going to try to find a sitter so we can go see Pirates of the Caribbean.
  
• I'm loving that since we got home from vacation around 5 on Tuesday I have had time to blog. And that my laundry was all done and I unpacked really quickly so it gave me time to relax.
  
• I'm loving that we are going to get back in the grind and back on a schedule because my child needs it. He was less than perfect this weekend and I think it was the lack of schedule. The sad thing is he's 4 so I would think he would be more capable of realigning his day.
  
• Even though Leo was not the angel I would have liked I still loved that we (as a family) got to spend 4 whole days together. It was very nice!
• I also loved that I got to see my aunt and uncle and cousins that live out of town 3 of the 4 days that we were in Kansas City. LOVE!
• I'm loving that I hit up the Dollar Store (or one of those) and got a sweet water bottle and a pair of nail polish both for just a dollar. And the nail polish is awesome!

Even though I posted this picture yesterday I'm still loving it. Me and my boys spending quality time together!
