Andy is studying and I just finished packing Ben's lunch for day #3 of school tomorrow, so it's time to blog! We had such a fun weekend, even though Andy was at school until Saturday evening. I picked up my mom and Ben on Friday night and we headed to a local street fest. Ben loves any sort of party, so I knew he would be up for a fun night. Our first stop was possibly his most favorite spot: the dunk tank! He spent the whole night trying to find it again.
He also loved watching the kids in the bounce houses and on the bungee lines. I am SO glad he is not old enough to do this stuff yet!
To be totally honest, we definitely missed Andy, but we still had fun!
We were out later than we probably should have been, but amazingly, he was a perfect angel the entire day on Saturday. It was our first music class this session and he was SO excited to go back. He was singing songs on the car ride there, but he was a little shy getting back in to the swing of things. He loved it nonetheless! After music class, we had to pick up our team shirts for the race this weekend! I can't believe Ben is going to be TWO in a few days! Next stop was Wag Fest to meet up with Auntie Anna. I wasn't planning on bringing Rosco because she isn't the greatest on the leash (which she proved to be true), but I felt bad leaving her at home at a DOG festival.
Ben definitely had fun and he is such a good helper. He always wanted to make sure that Rosco had plenty to drink.
He protected her from the cats.
He also gave her an obscene number of treats.
He was such a good boy that he earned himself a treat as well.
Little does he know, we would give him ice cream everyday if he would eat ice cream everyday. :)
He ate his ice cream so he could play on the playground.
He was exhausted after the dog fest, and fell asleep nearly instantly after we got home. He slept for over 2.5 hours! As soon as he woke up, Maddie and Sarah had arrived! There are few things he loves more than when Maddie is at his house! I hope they are always such good buddies. :)
As if our day wasn't busy enough, we then went to the grocery store and to see our friends' new house after Andy got home. It was a perfect nearly-fall night and Ben had so much fun playing with the big kids. They were so good to him, which makes me a happy momma. He thought it was pretty darn cool to play catch with someone besides daddy. ;) The only thing Ben didn't like was making s'mores. "No like fire! No like fire!" Firework flashbacks maybe?? It was bedtime anyway!
On Sunday, we got to spend some more time with Andy, and we went on a nice long 5+ mile long walk. We took the scenic route and there were the beginnings of leaves falling and changing colors! It made our perfect little morning that much better. We are working on making Ben a fall-loving boy as well.
He is already a momma-loving boy!!
We stopped at a park to get some swinging and sliding in.
Next, we stopped at Starbucks. There was a drive-thru, so Ben got to wave to each and every car that passed by. There were even a few cars with dogs in them, which Ben thought was the funniest thing. "Doggy's head out the window!!"
We stopped at Target for some essentials before heading back home. It was a long walk, but we all loved it. Andy had to get back to studying, so Ben and I went to visit great-grandma with Auntie Anna. She always loves a visit from Ben, although without a nap, he wasn't on his best behavior. It was the first time she had ever seen him do anything naughty. (He colored on her couch with crayon and wouldn't apologize---ugh!) He was in bed by 6:30 that night so he could be well rested for school!
Well, Andy is done studying and I'm done for tonight too. I hope to update my bump posts tomorrow, though I'm not sure when I will be able to take my pictures. I'm not keeping up to date with them like I was hoping but I'll keep trying!
