Lots of Fun

We don't typically have a whole lot planned on the weekend unless we are traveling somewhere. But this weekend we packed in the fun. Oh my goodness. I am still trying ignore the fact that it is already 9 p.m. on Sunday night!

Friday night, EJ and I had a great time on our date. We had a great leisurely dinner and then somehow managed to squeeze in frozen yogurt from a relatively new, highly-talked about place.Yum!!!

Saturday we took the kids to BG again. We got there early as the park was opening. We had a slightly better plan this time than last. Although it would have been nice if Ryan had followed the plan which had him taking a morning nap on the way there. He held out and did great any way. 

Owen and I made a mad dash for the roller coaster he did last time. This time I road with him instead of EJ. I can't remember the last time I have been on a roller coaster. I walked away feeling better than I expected. Owen was thrilled :)

 Ryan rode his first ride without an adult. Not sure it was a great idea. He didn't cry, but definitely didn't smile.

We left at 4. All 3 fell sound asleep. Owen fought it, but his body gave in. Isn't that hilarious?

Then after dinner, I headed out on my own to meet some girls for an outdoor musical production. It was an awesome show! We got a little rained on, but hardly anyone left, it was that good! It was such a fun evening.

Tonight, we had friends for dinner. A family we haven't all seen all together in almost a year. It was so lovely to catch up. I am not sure why it's taken this long. 

Phew! 

Nothing on the agenda all week. 

Bee Gone

Our fingers are crossed that this second professional spraying would rid us of the bees for good. At least 5 dead ones were waiting for us in the guestroom and boys bathroom when we got home today. The kids and I and my mom stayed away for a few hours to let the smell dissipate.

My wonderful husband (whom I have a real date with tonight !!!!!) stayed to supervise and help the pest control man. A huge nest was broken up in the tiny space under their bathtub (where the water shut-off is). Lovely.

At least it wasn't bed bugs!!!

Doing a Jig

I LOVE 

when they happily occupy themselves {together}!

 

One floor puzzle was not enough. They did 3!

Ryan made off with 2 pieces while they weren't watching ;)

Me and Ry

I have had a little bloggers block this week. 

The older 2 were out with EJ so I snapped some pictures of Ryan.

He can be so funny. He loves to get a laugh. And is so easy to amuse.

He has a nice bruise on the center of his forehead and I can't even remember why.

He is one tough kid. surprise, surprise!

Those 4 molars...I think the worst of it is over. Naps are becoming a little more normal again.

He hasn't dropped his a.m. nap yet! I am holding on as long as possible. 

In total denial that it will end. Mostly because he acts so tired without it.

 

I have yet to share his nicknames.

  I call him Ry, pretty frequently. 

But he also goes by...

Ry Ry, 

Ry Guy, 

Fry Guy (he LOVES french fries).

Owen used to call him Rolan (rhymes with Nolan) or Roll. I have no idea why.

Thankfully, I think that has fallen by the wayside.

EJ often calls him Bubs. Again, not sure where that came from.

He also gets called Owen and Mason.

Too many boys :)

P.L.E.A.S.E... he will be 16 months in 6 days!! Not that I am counting.
