I am happy to say that we made the most of this past long weekend! We are notorious lazy people in my house, in pj's all day, watching lots of TV and basically just getting nothing done. When we get the chance to sit still, we really live it up!
As usual, hubby was working Friday/Saturday but me and Zack helped his Auntie Tee get ready for her prom! This included picking her up from her nail appointment, driving her to get her hair done, taking her for lunch and then back to her house to get dressed before pictures - basically we were her chauffeurs but we really enjoyed seeing her get ready to have a fun night! We even went to the limo pick up to get pictures of her, her date and Zackie before they departed. We wanted to enjoy all the sunshine before the "rain" people kept talking about finally came. At home I prepared for "price-matching" shopping on Saturday morning. If you've never heard of this or never done it, I highly reccommend it!
Zack and I set out with our flyers on Saturday morning and saved almost $40 on groceries! Our first mission successful - details to follow another time. Imagine my surprise when hubby showed up home from work by 12:30! We made good use of the beautiful afternoon by getting our backyard organized - finally my new patio furniture is going to get the recognition it deserves! In our race against the inpending "rain" we got the table up, the sand and water table built and the gazebo started. The rain never showed but the backyard was starting to come together.
Sunday morning, my brother came by to help hubby move the hideous shed beside our house to a less conspicuous postion. They did this early to avoid the "rain". Several drops fell but they managed to get the shed in place without too much of a problem. After Zack's nap (who are we kidding...I napped too), we headed out to watch the horseraces and fireworks! My little guy loves animals like nobody's business, launghing at all the horses everytime they walked by. That alone would've been enough to make it a great day but it didn't hurt that we won almost $20 as well!
Today's plan included indoor activities to prepare for the inevitable "rain" that was still expected. Off we went to the bowling alley with a group of friends and their kids. Although not an avid bowler, I had a lovely morning being an "alley-cat". Once the kids were losing their cool, we all decided to risk the "rain" and enjoy lunch on a patio. We almost made it safely out of the weekend when one of our compadres remarked on a definite lack of "rain" this weekend. Wouldn't you know it, it started to rain right then! We mad-dashed inside and had our lunch under the cover of a roof. Since we gave up our patio spot, the rain quickly stopped and now the day is almost done without any of the "thunder storms" and "rain showers" that were promised this weekend.
We were so happy to have a lot of quality time together this weekend and to be so fortunate to enjoy beautiful weather! It was great seeing Zack have fun where ever we took him and so nice for us to be able to take him along on all our adventures!
