On Friday, I ran a few errands after work then spent the remainder of my evening pulling weeds. I'm pretty sure my flower beds hate me. Can you tell a difference between weeds and plants in the picture below? Nope, me either....
Brayden also spent the majority of the day with his grandparents. Those hands in his pockets, though...I just can't handle this kid sometimes!
Sadly, Jason had to work the weekend (although he was off on Monday), so on Saturday morning, Brayden and I enjoyed a special breakfast of Mickey waffles!
We also visited Chuck E Cheese for the first time for a birthday party! (I hadn't been since I was seriously 12?)
This kid had the time of his life! He loves loves loves pushing buttons and being around all of the games!
I've never experienced a party here and after seeing it all, I think it might be a great idea for the future!
On Saturday evening, we had dinner with Jason, then went for a spin on Brayden's new tricycle! He kept his feet on the pedals for a while with us pushing so I'm hopeful he will figure this thing out pretty fast!
For church on Sunday, we dressed in our red, white, and blue best!
We also enjoyed a lazy rest of our Sunday and I'll admit I stayed up a bit later than I should have on Sunday night trying to finish Once Upon a Time. Oh well, it doesn't happen often and I did manage to finish the finale...and I might have cried for like the last five minutes of the show. Whoops. Anyone else?
Brayden's first day of swim lessons fell on Memorial Day, so we were up bright and early for those! His lessons will continue the remainder of the week and I can't wait to see what he learns from them! Brayden LOVES water, and my main concern is the fact that he has no fear of water. He also doesn't know what to do with himself once he goes under, so I'm hoping she can help teach him some of those things!
He was so worn out from fun times in the pool that he had no trouble falling asleep and he took a nice, long afternoon nap!
During nap time, I spent a good couple of hours in the pool, just hanging out and reading a book. Downtime with me hardly ever happens, so I made sure to make the most of it while I could! It was so incredibly relaxing and I made a mental note to do this more often!
Yesterday evening, we ventured off to Jason's Uncle and Aunt's house for a BBQ! Brayden quickly became BFF with their dog, Brody. Brody let Brayden and his cousin Judah just hug him and lay on him...he was SO sweet!
Finally, we all had the chance to spend a day together, and it was a great one, I might add!
Now it's back to the grind tomorrow. Three day weekends are never long enough and always leave me wishing for one extra day. I guess that's how it goes with any time off of work but still...I do love holidays!
How was your Memorial Day Weekend? Did you spend time with friends/run a race/eat delicious food?
Glad you enjoyed your long weekend. I too always look forward to the holidays. It's a great distraction from the every day grind!
ReplyDeleteHow fun that Brayden started swimming lessons and how precious that he made a new friend in Brody!
Thank you! We loved this weekend! It was definitely a nice break!
DeleteI work from home on Tuesdays, and I took my time getting up. I started work on time, but I figured since I don't have to commute in today, why not stay in bed a little longer?
ReplyDeleteHow nice! I’m glad you enjoyed your Tuesday as well!
DeleteBrody is adorable! Swim lessons are so important for everyone, especially children.
ReplyDeleteDid you know that if you are under 18, you have to have a parent with you at Chuck E Cheese? Found that out when a bunch of us in high school wanted to go. Guess they just don't want a bunch of teenagers getting in the way of the little ones.
I couldn’t agree more about swim lessons and I had no idea about the age thing for Chuck E cheese! It makes sense though!
DeleteI have a picture of my youngest in, I swear, the exact same car with Chuck E. Cheese - how funny! Brayden looks like he just enjoys life, no matter what adventure he might be on. :)
ReplyDeleteOh how funny about the picture thing! That must be a Chuck E Cheese staple!
DeleteI too look forward to long weekends to have the extra time to spend with my little man. It looks like you and Brayden had a blast together last weekend! Here's to making even more great summer memories together!
ReplyDeleteThanks! I’m looking forward to this summer now that he’s older and can do more! It’s going to be fun!
