Smiles, Swimming, Sunshine (sort of)....and a super weekend

How's that for alliteration? :)

But really, I had a seriously fabulous holiday weekend. I love love LOVE having my honey home with me, so when Saturday morning rolled around and he didn't have to leave me I was overjoyed - especially since Friday was particularly crappy. I won't go into details but just to give you an idea of how my Friday went:

"Jack, stop screaming."

"Jack, please don't hit me."

"Jack, don't lick the ground, that's gross."

"Jack, please don't break the computer!!!!"

"Jack, don't take of your diaper."

"Jack, please don't hit your brother."

"Jack, PLEASE stop screaming!"

"Jack, don't lick your feet, that's disgusting."

"Jack, don't bite."

"Jack, please stop taking off your diaper!"

"Jack, stop kicking me."

"Jack, can you PLEASE just go in your room for like 2 minutes?!?!"

You get the idea. I love him like crazy but YIKES it was a rough day.

So...again....when Saturday morning came and Kurt was there to stay, I was one happy lady. I started out the day by lying in bed for a while with

this little guy on one side of me...

and this one on the other...

Then later on in the day little Sam SMILED for the camera! Ahhhh! I about died.

We then ventured out to the mall where I bought some sweet new running shoes. It has now officially been 6 weeks since baby #2 and I am ready to start kicking my own butt...bring on the skinny jeans baby! :) By this time it was 10:30 in the morning so, naturally, we decided it was time for lunch. (That's what happens when your day starts at 5 every day.) Of course Jack found the perfect little table, and Kurt didn't even hesitate to join him. He's over 6 feet tall and that's a long way down! What a guy.

We made our way up to Sandy so Kurt could mow his mom's lawn for her since she was out of town. My own fam lives like 2 seconds away from her, so the boys and I hung out there for a while. Seeing Kurt wearing his "mow-the-lawn" shorts stained with yellow paint reminded me of when he did this for me. Hehe! Again...what a guy.

Sunday meant our usual visit to Sandy for dinner with family. And nothing is better than a little snooze in the sun with your sweety.

And Monday was the annual Memorial day pool opening at Grandma G's! I can't even count how many memories I have at this pool. I have spent millions of hours in the sun every single summer of my life at this place. It was so fun watching Jack swim in the same pool that I learned how to swim in. And let me just say he was a little FISH! We had to bribe him with marshmallows to get him out.






I do have to say that I get the worst mother of the year award for thinking that a cloudy day meant no sunscreen. WRONG! I should have listened to you, Grandma! Jack's crying last night from his sunburned shoulders broke my little heart.

But besides THAT it was a perfect weekend! Hope y'all had a good one, too.
