Weekend Fun

Thursday began with our last swim lesson for the summer. I was a little disappointed with the session in general but this last lesson was really good because we had a substitute teacher and no one else showed up! So it was like a really good private lesson.

That evening, we met Waylon at school for the open house there - Noah moves into his new classroom tomorrow ('The Young 3s') so it was a meet the teachers open house. He seems to be excited about that - he'll be back with the bigger kids and I think that's good - he's one of the oldest in his class now. We had a nice dinner out afterwards that evening

Friday, we ran some errands and were supposed to go to the End of Year party at school but I had some trouble getting him down for nap - course then he slept 3 hours, so we missed it.

Saturday morning, we had Eli's 2nd birthday party to attend! It was so fun - bouncing in the bounce house, playing on the playset, pizza, cupcakes, presents - what else could you ask for?!

Stella Dot, Eli, and Noah - friends since before they were born!
(I met their moms in prenatal yoga)

Cupcake time!

Present time - notice how Noah is really excited about watching Eli open his presents - this boy loves balloons!

Noah slept well after the party and Waylon and I took turns running a few more errands and getting things done while he slept. Saturday evening, Waylon left for Greensboro to visit his longtime friend Steven and his wife, Kate, and go to a golf tournament with VIP tickets. After he left, Janet, Frank and Maddie came over to play and get some energy out of the kids. Frank was a brave man and joined two very pregnant ladies and two toddlers - although we put him to work and sent him out for food - he came back with food AND beer. :-) Always love these cute shots of Noah and Maddie....





Sunday was Jennie's wedding shower so it was a busy day. Since Waylon was gone, I dropped Noah off at Stella Dot's house Sunday morning before heading to Megan's house to set up. Nana and Grandad picked Noah up from her house around 1:00 and brought him back to our house for what should have been a nap but I think he was too excited to sleep so he had NO nap yesterday! It was a good experiment though cause he was pretty good most of the evening and went to bed very easily last night. They had a good time.

The shower started at 1:00 and was a success. Everyone seemed to have a good time and Jennie got some good things. We all can't believe the wedding is in two weeks! How exciting!

After the shower was over and (mostly) cleaned up, I headed home to relieve Nana and Grandad. Waylon got home around 6:30 and, like I said, bedtime was a breeze!

Next up this weekend - Noah and I are headed to MD on Thursday for the weekend. Last big trip before the baby is born!
