Our Weekend

Gosh, I don't really don't have much to say? How odd that I am at a loss for words, huh?

Pete arrived home on Friday late afternoon, after being out of town again, only to have to leave Saturday morning to go to a trade show for part of the day. The good news was that on Saturday morning both kids slept late! I didn't get up until 8:30, Izzy got up at 9:15 and Drew 10. When Izzy realized Pete was gone again, she said, "but I thought you said Daddy would be home for two days!" Poor kid had missed her daddy something fierce! While Drew was still asleep Izzy made us some blueberry muffins. Then she finished a couple Halloween foam masks.

This witch mask was more fun to wear prior to being made...

Guess I should get a picture since she has finished it.

Like I said, Drew got up at 10, and then I made brunch for me and the kiddos. The witch's hat and pumpkin shaped cinnamon toast have now been joined by a ghost. Kids really are easily entertained. These crazy straws have "reappeared" and are a fun way for the kids to drink their milk.



Pete got home around 2ish and requested a nap. The poor guy has been travelling for nearly two weeks, not to mention the 26.2 mile run, so how could I say no? While he napped I took Izzy and Drew to the grocery store to buy some stuff to make "cookies on a stick". We were going over to Delaney's house for dinner and offered to bring dessert. When I offered to bring dessert I told Jen it wouldn't be anything to fancy because I would make it with Izzy. ...and this is what she came up with.



We had a great time at Delaney's house for dinner. The kids played SO well together that at times you didn't even know they were there. It was really out of the ordinary, but very much appreciated. Jen and I put down a bottle of wine mostly due to the fact that we weren't playing with kids or being needed to intervene...just sitting and talking. I think a good time was had by all! We probably overstayed our invite as we didn't even leave until 9!

Do you think the kids were tired when we got home?



Sunday morning Izzy woke up at 7:45 and so she and I made a Starbucks run. We got home and both boys were still sleeping. Being the good wife that I am, I *let* Pete sleep until after 9. I figured since I was going to leave him with the kids for a few hours during the afternoon to run errands it was the least I could do.

We had a nice leisurely morning before I left to run errands. I had hoped to buy a bedroom set but as I pulled up to the store it was closed! Hopefully it will still be available to purchase on Wednesday (the store is going out of business and has limited hours).

Once I got home the kids painted some fake pumpkins that I bought while out. Izzy thinks she wants to do polka-dots. So far we just have a pink pumpkin. Drew chose the blue paint to use...but he ate some so I had to take it away.



Out of Drew's mouth:
Pete was going to entertain the kids while also watching football, so to help him out I got out the puzzles. The puzzles are not kept out to do at anytime because then pieces get lost, as does the interest. So, I took the pieces out of an animal puzzle for Drew and then turned my attention to showing something to Izzy. When I turned back around Drew's puzzle was done. Amazed at the speed which is was completed I asked Pete if he helped Drew? Pete said no and Drew piped in, "It was easy, Mama!" The way which he said it had both Pete and I laughing. I don't know if I have ever heard him use the word easy?

Really that is about all we did. It was a laid back kind of weekend, with lots of daddy play time. When I came home today it had looked like a toy bomb went off...so I know the kids had fun and that is really all that matters!
