Friday was my off day
from work, I take off every other Friday from work so I can have some “me”
time. Typically on those days I will get my hair cut, go shopping, lunch with
friends, clean the house, doctors’ appointments, or just relax without anyone
around. Beau still goes to Mrs. Pat’s but I try to pick him up a little early
so we can enjoy the afternoon together. I could not survive without these
Fridays! So back to last weekend. On Friday I went shopping and found something
that I had been looking for. I found this!
I quickly called Jon to see when he would be home from work
so we could take Beau for a ride. He said he would be home early afternoon so I
spent the rest of the day visiting with my good friend/neighbor Melissa and
cleaning the house. When Jon got home we put the pod together and attached it
to my bike. We were ready to roll! We picked up Beau and took him on a ride. He
LOVED it!
Friday night we grilled out again but this time it was just
us. We put a big blanket in the grass outside and played with Beau until our
pork chops were cooked. It was so fun being outside in the evening. Beau loves
to be outside and really loves the grass. He will crawl around and pick the
grass and try to eat it. He knows it does not taste good but every once in a
while he would try it again. He is in the adventure stage where he wants to see
what is going on all around him. He will study a piece of grass so closely. It
is so fascinating to watch. Jon and I did have a parenting fail while we were
out there. Jon was busy grilling and I went inside to check on my side dish.
When I came back out I saw something brown under Beau’s lip. I knew the grass
was not brown so we quickly realized the he had tried a little piece of Lilly’s
dried up poop. Yep, GROSS! We felt awful that he ate that but hopefully he will
never do that again. We always try to pick up Lilly’s droppings but I guess we
missed a little. After that we headed inside. Beau went to bed and we enjoyed
our dinner. Cheers to a great night outside!
On Saturday morning we wanted to get outside as fast as we
could because it was sunny and warm so we loaded up the baby and dog and headed
to the park. There is a great dog park/kid park about 15 minutes from our
house. Lilly is able to run around with other dogs while Beau swings. It was a
perfect way to start our day.
Jon had to check up on a few jobs in the middle of the day
Saturday so Beau and I took a nap. He is a big nap taker and will sleep 2-3
hours every day which is nice. Saturday evening Jon’s mom came to get Beau so
he could stay at their house and we could have a night out. Jon and I went out
to eat and then went by Lowe’s to pick up some plants for our garden. This year
we have a big space for a garden so we wanted to get our plants in the ground
as soon as possible. We came home and got our garden planted and finally sat
down around 10:30pm. It was a late night but a lot of fun!
Sunday we went to church at 9:30 and then went to a little sandwhich
shop downtown for lunch. It was so good! It is called the Sandwhich Farm and I
was shocked how good it was! After that we headed up to Monte Sano to mountain
bike. We had a blast on the Family trail and wore ourselves out. After 3 hours
of riding we headed home to get a shower and rest. Jon went to pick Beau up
from his parents’ house that evening while I stayed home to get ready for the
week.
Our weekend was great and we could not have asked for better
weather. We love days that are sunny and warm. The summer is coming up and we
are ready!!
