Our weekend began Friday night with pizza for dinner when Brandon got home from work. Then off to a local playground/park to play. Henry had a blast and the weather wasn't too hot so that a was plus! We stopped on the way home for some ice cream which was yummy as always :) Saturday morning we got up and Brandon got ready and headed out to get the oil changed in the truck. While he was gone, Henry and I had breakfast and got ready for the day ourselves. Then when Brandon got back, we headed on Post to do some errands.. a trip to the PX, drove down to the range so Brandon could do some legwork for his unit's week out there, grabbed some lunch at the Food Court, and stopped by Vehicle Registration to get new stickers for the van since our registration finally came in. Henry fell asleep in the car and continued his nap at home. That evening I fixed tacos for dinner and we went on our usual walk around the neighborhood and played outside for awhile. Sunday we woke up to rain and had a quiet morning around the house... ate lunch and Henry laid down for a short nap. We woke him up around 230 and headed downtown to the Museum. Both kids love going there and we got a military family membership for an entire year for just $30.. definitely worth it especially on Sundays which is when the run the trains. Henry loves it.. he will just stand there and look at all the different tracks and trains. Plus they have a few train tables for the kiddos to play with. He had a good time playing and always hates to leave! We ran a few errands after that.. hit up Target for a few things and to Home Depot so Brandon could get a few supplies for his weekend project which was to replace all the knobs, door pulls, and hinges on the kitchen cabinets. We went with a Ventian Bronze finish which match the switch plates in the dinning room. It looks so good and makes a big difference in the kitchen for less than $100. It was dinner time after our errands so we went to Captain D's and ate. It was good. Its always a nice treat to eat out and get a break from cooking/cleaning. After dinner it was still early so we cruised over to the bookstore and hung out there for a bit. Henry got a new book with lots of different picture of different machines i.e. boats, trains, tractors, cars. He loves it! I found a new book myself on the clearance rack :) When we got home, we took Murray on our usual walk then played upstairs in Henry's room before bedtime. Today Brandon had off which is so nice.. so we had a quiet morning then decided to go the pool on Post for a little bit. We had never been before and it was quite nice. They have a kiddie pool, then the big pool which is roped off into sections and they also had a splash park area. The water was a bit cool but once we got use to it it wasn't too bad. Henry had a good time and we grabbed some snacks while we there for lunch. Then back into the pool for some more playtime. Henry really enjoyed the splash park area as well. We left there around 1230/1240 to come home so Henry could get his nap in. We are looking forward to a quiet afternoon/evening.
We have a short work week coming up and are so glad. Brandon only has to work Tuesday and Wednesday then he has a five day weekend. Yay! and better yet we are leaving on Thursday to go to SC to spend it with family and friends... and of course to get our P back!!! We have missed her greatly and will be thrilled to see her and have her come back home with us!
