Weekend Activities...

We definitely had a mixed weekend with amount of plans. Saturday was incredibly busy and non-stop with things to do where as Sunday was the exact opposite.

Saturday
Saturday morning, Alexander and I had a quiet morning with some breakfast, trains, and relaxing before it was time to go to gymnastics.

We headed to gymnastics and Alexander was excited to see if Mr. Anthony was going to be there. Mr. Anthony reminds me of Uncle Paul as he's super nice and funny. He & Alexander have this little joke where they point to each other and say "I know youuuu". It's cute. Alexander did great this week in gymnastics - listened to his teachers, did well with his tumbles, the bar and again on the balance beam.

After gymnastics, we headed home for lunch and to get ready for Grace's birthday party. However since we had some time before we needed to leave, Alexander was able to go hang out with Daddy outside and then they even headed over to the lake to do a little fishing. Alexander was very excited that they caught 5 sunny fish. And according to Alexander they "almost caught 20 sunnies fish but only 5 we gots"

Alexander and Mommy then headed to Grace's birthday party (Daddy was babysitting cousin Michael) which was a Pajama themed party. It was cute, they decorated chef hats, had story time and then did some baking! During baking, it turned out to be the boy table and the girl table. The boys all did well with each other helping out and they all got to take turns putting ingredients into the bowl. Alexander got to crack the eggs and put them into the bowl and he did a great job and was so proud of himself 'Hey Mom, I gots no shells". After the magic oven "cooked" their donuts, they were able to frost & decorate them (the hostess already had donuts pre-made). After decorating, it was cake time! They all sang happy birthday and had some yummy cake and then it was time to head home as the boys were starting to want to run around!

On the way home, Mommy & Alexander decided to make pizza for dinner and stopped to get all the ingredients. Might as well have a day full of cooking...so we got our ingredients and went home and made some yummy pizza. After dinner, we played trains, read books and then it was a pretty early night for both of us.

Sunday
Sunday was a nice low-key day for everyone. Alexander woke up around 6:15am and it was a quiet morning until he & Daddy headed downstairs. They had breakfast and played a few games (Chutes & Ladders/Candy Land) and then they headed outside to do some yardwork. Alexander started to help Daddy but then decided he wanted to play with his bouncey ball for a bit. The boys went to Home Depot for a bit and came back and then they played baseball where Alexander had some great hits (unfortunately one of them hit Daddy on the cheek). Mommy was inside cleaning and chilling out so then Alexander came in for a break so he & I did a bit of cuddling before he wanted to go back outside. This time he wanted me to come play ball & soccer with him so we ran around a bit before dinner time.

We had yummy dinner and then we played with trains for a bit - we tried to do a new track but kept getting stuck. Then after tubby time, we read some books and Alexander was asleep pretty quickly!

Overall a good weekend!
