Weekend Rewind!

by - September 02, 2012

It is time for another weekend rewind! 

We had a really fun weekend. Friday we went to a back to school event at church. I wanted to go support my cousin's who were performing. My cousin Brian was playing the drums, Kayla was dancing, Mike was "rapping" and Teresa was taking pictures and helping the girls with their charity. It was really loud and Ace was a bit nervous when we got there. At one point I put him down and he started dancing and the kids were all standing in a circle and they would go to the middle to dance so I tried to get him to go do it but once he realized I wasn't right by him he ran back to me. I wish it hadn't been so loud because I know he would have gone out there and danced longer.

Bean Burrito everywhere!

Saturday
Branden worked so the boogie and I hung out and cleaned. I got some laundry done and picked out some of my clothes for our Michigan/Ohio trip.
My best friend, Katie, was in town dropping off her brother at the airport so her and her son Sydney came over and visited with us. I love them. Sydney was attached to me when he was little and thought I was his other mom, ha! I love that kid like my own.
We didn't really do anything too exciting when Bran got home, just ordered in food.
He takes Branden's hats and walks around the house saying "dada" 
Sunday

Branden was off, which is always nice. We went to the splash pad, which was on our Summer To-Do List and Ace was loving it. He kept running through the water and laughing. He fell pretty hard once and cried for a split second then was off running around again. This kid is such a bruiser I swear.




His face cracks me up here

We went over to the slides at one point and he ran under them and there was a little girl there all alone and upset. I had seen her Mom earlier trying to get her to come out so I talked to her and asked her if she was having fun and she said no and I asked her what was wrong and she was upset her Mom forgot her bike. I told her Ace would go play with her if she wanted and she shook her head no. I said I bet your friends would really like to play with you (she was there for a birthday party) and she smiled. She was so adorable. She was probably 7. Her Mom walked over and said they are having watermelon and cake and pretzels and I said "Wow, that sounds good, you better get over there before it all runs out!" She smiled at me and ran and her mom whispered thank you. I felt so good helping her. I love kids and I always hate seeing them missing out because they are having a hard time. Sometimes they just want someone to acknowledge that it is ok for them to be upset.

He loved the slides

Such a Goober!

Ace heading over to check out the little girl under the slides
After that we headed home, ate lunch and put the Boogie down for a nap. We went to a bunch of stores and headed home for dinner and an early bedtime for Ace since he only took one short nap. 
We had a really nice weekend together. I can't believe Thursday we leave for Michigan!

Since I will be traveling with a toddler I will need some travel tips!! What are some things you think will be helpful on the plane?

  5. Thanks so much for linking up with me this week, Brenna. Your little man looks so cute in that red fluffy diaper. I'd have fun on those slides too! As a native Ohioan, I'll recommend you eat lots of buckeye candies while in town...and Cincy style chili is also a favorite of mine that I sure don't find here in Costa Rica. I've shared my best travel tips for infants here, so I hope it helps you on your journey! http://jellibeanjournals.blogspot.com/2012/06/infant-travel-essentials.html
