Weekend Review

6/12/07 Ammendment.....
Had to add this little ammendment into my blog from yesterday for Laura's sake.....just to set the record straight. Poor Laura...I sounded like a very ungrateful friend in my blog....from the way I typed it, it seemed that my visit with her was blase and boring. That is SO not what I meant! My visit with her was actually the highlight of my day, to be honest! How I relish the ability to sit and shoot the breeze with my girlfriends!! I'm such a dork! The REST of the day was rather boring, but to have her come to visit, bring me a yummy lunch and a present.....that was very fun! Sorry, Laura for my lack of clarity! :) Can I blame it on pregnancy brain???? :) LOL!



Why is it that the weekends always fly by and the weekdays seem to drag on a bit longer???? Hate that. Friday is always the true start to our weekends, since Ty is off of work and home around 2pm. LOVE that! As I sit here and type, I can't even recall what we did. Must've been pretty interesting! LOL! Oh wait....yeah.....no...it was pretty boring. Ty and Luke napped together in the afternoon, while I visited with Laura for awhile. She came up to deliver my birthday present (a nice little gift card to Motherhood! Yay! Shopping!) and to bring me a sandwich from my favorite little deli! A belated birthday celebration! After she left and the boys awoke, we all worked on the baby's room for a spell. Ty began putting up the chair rail and I attempted to switch a piece on the crib because it looked like they were backwards. I soon came to realize (after I had already taken half the crib apart!) that I had been wrong in the first place and it was right from the very beginning. I'm a big doofus! I was just a teeny bit frustrated and actually wanted to throw the whole crib out the window, but I soon got it all put back together the right (read: original) way and took a snack break with Luke. Then we headed out to the garage and did this to the back of Baby's dresser:


Fun, huh?! It was Ty's idea, and a good one at that! Speaking of Ty, he had a boy's night out planned, so I took Luke to the park and then to Grandma's and Grandpa's for a surprise visit. We stayed for dinner and were home in time for bath and bed.

Saturday was a busy day for me. Sarah, Hudson, Luke and I decided to hit up a HUGE community garage sale in the Ranch where we used to live in the morning. There must've been upwards of 100 different garage sales going on throughout all the different neighborhoods! I went with the intention of finding Luke some dump trucks and garage-type toys that he can destroy in the backyard (who wants to spend top dollar for toys that are going to be destroyed in the dirt of our backyard?!) and some play clothes for him to wear while he uses those toys! I spent a whopping $10 and came home with 4 cool books, 3 really nice, like-new hand puppets, a grocery sack full of very gently used play clothes and some dump trucks for Luke. Whoohoo! I'd never been garage-sale'ing before, but it was pretty fun! We grabbed Starbucks on the way and got to pal'd around for a few hours. Fun!

I was home in time for lunch, and was happy to find that Ty had nearly completed the chair rail project. We just need to touch up the paint, and then I will post some pictures! Luke and I were both zonked from the early morning and napped together for a few hours in mommy's big bed. He was so sweet when we laid down! He said to me "Cuddle close to you...." and scooted his little body as close as he could get it to mine, nuzzled into my neck and gave me a tiny kiss on my lips before saying "G'night, Mom." Sweet child! After naps, we had plans to drop Luke at my mom's for the night while Ty and I went to a charity fundraiser for Krystal, who is walking in the 3-day breast cancer walk in November. It was a Bunco night and we had a blast!

Sunday was a work day for me. The NICU this week, so I headed to work around 9am and the boys hung out together for the day. Luke is starting to come down with another cold, I think. My Gym must be the culprit this time around. There were a couple snot-nosed kiddos there on Thursday. I'm making sure to keep as far away from his germs as possible this time though! I'm not about to get sick again! After I got home from work, we made a yummy dinner together when I got home, took Luke and Tess for a nice walk and then once Luke was in bed, Ty and I lounged (and fell asleep!) on the couch watching a movie. And that was the end of our weekend.

Today entailed a quick trip to Dr. Hage's office for my second Rogam shot and grocery shopping. Luke was adorable as always at the doctor's office. As we waited in the waiting room, he kept saying "Our turn now?" and I kept having to remind him that we needed to wait. Then he saw Dr. Hage through the receptionist window, cocked his head to one side, pointed at him and said, "Dr. Haaaage! See him, Mommy!" Of-course, when Dr. Hage did infact peek through the window to say hello, Luke clammed up and wouldn't speak. Silly boy! The same thing happened when we went back to our room for my shot and Dr. Hage was in the hallway. Luke was very supportive during my poke, and offered his hand for me to hold for comfort! Sweet child! And finally, as we got ready to leave, I naturally needed to make a pit stop at the restroom before we headed out (for the umteenth time that day, I might add!) and Luke, being so familiar with our 'doctor's office routine', grabbed the sharpie pen, a specimin cup and said "Here ya doe, Mommy." once we were in the bathroom! When I told me him that I didn't have to go potty in the cup today...that I would be doing that next week, he looked so confused and tried harder to shove the little plastic cup my way! LOL! He cracked me up. Once I had done my thing, he even moved toward to toilet and held the cup right over the opening to the bowl as one would when you give a specimin. Does anything get past this kiddo??!

I also took a some time to snap my 28 week preggo pictures. Here's the next installment for all you who just couldn't wait to see. I know you all must've been early awaiting the new one, huh?! :) I had to re-do the format, since the original one was getting a bit too long to post.





So....that's my day. And my weekend. More to come soon, I'm sure, but the little munchin just peeked around the corner....guess nap time is over! Adios!
