Weekend Plans?

I always think it's funny when Friday afternoon rolls around and my coworkers ask me, "Any fun weekend plans?". I mean, they're all heading out to float the river, take off for the weekend, maybe see a concert or go to a party. I just shrug my shoulders and tell them that I'll be hanging out with the fam. Even when I answer "we're going to a bounce house!" it doesn't sound all that exciting in comparison. Sometimes I miss having the freedom to take off and go to a party or have dinner with friends, but for the most part we do end up having a great time.

Yesterday we headed over to Kim Barnett's pool, which was amazingly warm and shady. I wish we had a pool like this in our backyard! Aurora liked it much more than I expected and we stayed out a little later than usual enjoying the evening.

You know you're the parent to a toddler when 8pm = staying out late.

Today we had breakfast and spent some time playing at Chick-fil-A before checking out the new LEGO store in the mall. We do have some other fun plans that you'll have to wait to hear about... they may not include any big parties, but if you like hearing about weekends spent with a toddler, you are in luck!

Anytime someone asks me what I'm doing for the weekend, I just say "house arrest".

What a great pool Kim has! Everyone looks so cute. Have a great rest of the weekend!

Wow, Aurora really enjoys the water. Looks like Granny Nancy will have a new swimming companion, LOL! You know how she loves swimming!

That pool looks so inviting. I'm glad Aurora likes it. We have been having to coax Zeland into pools--for some reason he has a fear of them. He did fine in California.

I spent the week end with a toddler, too. It was so hot in Phoenix area that we couldn't be outside. Zeland and I went to the mall and had a great time walking around. I even bought a bathing suit (without trying it on) and it fits. Zeland loved the little (3 car merrygoround) which he got to ride for free three times since everyone else was putting money in the slot. When I tried to put some in, a man waved me away and said he had it. Sunday we walked early (6 a.m.) to Burger King, the dollar store and the park. It was already hot outside. In the afternoon we went to the library. I bought several books for 10c each and we had fun "reading" them.
