We didn't have a lot of plans these last 2 weekends, but that doesn't mean we didn't make sure they were jam-packed with fun! Last weekend, I was on call (boooooo) and had to go in to see 2 patients. Ben came with me and he was such a patient little helper.
Meanwhile, this guy snuck in a little early morning nap. (Look at him in his big boy carseat!!)
After the market, we went to Home Depot so Andy could get stuff for the fence he was building in the front yard. These two monkeys had a blast. I nearly had a heart attack watching them climb and hang on everything!
Ben had been begging to go to the pool, and I decided just to pick up a little pool at the hardware store. It's supposed to be a hot summer and I imagine I'm not going to always want to go to the pool, so why not bring the pool to us? Ben was SO excited and after several watering cans full of hot water, the pool was an acceptable temperature.
Between the pool and the water balloons, we had two happy little fish!
On Saturday night, I had a rare night out with one of my friends. Andy's partner at work had tickets for "Kinky Boots" that he wasn't able to use, so my friend and I went to dinner and the show. It was so good and so fun!! I don't think the boys missed me too much. ;)
I didn't get home until after 11:00! I can't remember the last time that happened. Of course, the boys were still up bright and early! Somehow, making it to mass at 8:00AM is never a problem. After donut Sunday, it was building time for the boys.
Well, for some of the boys. Joshy preferred to snack on pretzels. Me too, bud!
I can't remember what else we did on Sunday, but I'm sure it was fun! I just asked Andy and he can't remember either. On to next thing I have pictures of…our mid-week zoo trip! The zoo is typically only open until 5:00, but every once and awhile in the summer it is open for special evening events, so us working parents like to take advantage! All I had to say to Andy was "food carts" and he was in! The boys were such good eaters that night I literally almost started to cry. Joshy ate mac and cheese for the first time and I was SO excited! Ben ate almost an entire grilled cheese and I didn't even have to ask him to take a bite like 300 times.
We checked out the "larger than life" bug exhibit. Ben was a little leery of the giant, moving bugs, but he ultimately thought they were pretty neat.
However, nothing excites the boys more than the train!!
I think I will leave this weekend's events for another post. Time for bed! Thanks for reading and have a great week!!
