Weekend Recap

Well the end of long weekends are officially over.. Brandon had only the typical Saturday and Sunday off. So although our weekend felt short, we made it up for it in FUN! Saturday we all slept in a little which is always a blessing! Then we had breakfast and got ready for the day... we ventured out to Toys R Us where we purchased one of Henry's Christmas presents. It is the Mega Bloks Thomas the Train Mountain Adventure.. it was on sale for HALF off.. so instead of almost $100 we got it for $49.. I think he will really enjoy playing with it!! He is definitely into trains, blocks, and of course Thomas! So this will be his "big" present under the tree on Christmas morning. I am on the ball this year.. I already have plans to go back on Thursday when P is at school to get her big present from us.. the Vtech Mobigo which is also on sale $10 off plus i have another $10 off coupon... what a DEAL and why not get them now! With baby on the way and due before Christmas, I seriously want all my shopping done the weekend of Thanksgiving! Anyways, forgive my rabbit trail.. I get so excited about Christmas especially this year.. Brandon will be home for it and we'll have a new baby to celebrate :) After Toys R Us, we went to Target to pick up a few things including diapers for Henry. Then we came home to cookout for lunch... we had BBQ chicken, potatoes and beans.. it was yummy! During Henry's nap time, I rested some while Brandon mowed the yard and P played outside some. Then that afternoon after Henry was up, I packed us a picnic dinner and we went to the local park to eat and play on the playground. It was still quite warm but there was some shade and the kids had a lot of fun! We spent a good hour just playing. Then to cool off, we headed to the local Berry Bear for some delicious frozen yogurt!

Sunday was a GREAT day as well... we woke up at our usual time and I made cinnamon rolls for breakfast. Then we lounged around the house until we decided to head to Nashville for a part of the day. We went to eat lunch at Calk of the Walk.. it is very yummy and unique place to eat. Brandon and I split the sample platter which had homemade chicken tenders, fried shrimp and some of the best catfish I've eaten. P had the kid's chicken dinner and Henry sampled a bit from everyone. All in all, it was a good meal! Then we went over to Bass Pro Shop and walked around.. always a good place to spend an hour, ha! Then we headed back home and decided on the way that since it was so hot we would go to the pool on Post. We quickly changed when we got home and headed that way.. it was crowded but manageable.. and it was definitely refreshing! Both kids had a blast playing and swimming and we easily spent two hours there before returning home for dinner and our usual nightly routine. Another fantastic weekend with the fam!!! :)
