Weekend Recap

Since the whole "tax" blog I took a little down time in order to give everyone a break from my ranting and raving. Now, though, I have a whole weekend worth of fun to write about!!

The weekend started out with a Friday night Rangers baseball game. It was the first game that we had a chance to take Jackson to this whole season....I know, we are total slackers since the ballpark is about 20 minutes from our house. The game was really a lot of fun, and Jackson got into heckling the players...a lot! He heard some other kids, and of course Daddy, yelling at the players and decided that is what you are supposed to do. It was just so cute! By about the 7th inning Jackson was ready to head home, which was fine considering the Rangers were losing. Not to mention, we had to get up at 7am the following morning for Fall Blastball baseball pictures and a 9:00am game. Oh, and yes....Jackson did eat this ENTIRE corn dog all by himself!!

So early Saturday rolled around and NONE of us wanted to get out of bed. But we did and we made it in time to wait another 20 minutes until the team baseball picture (they can never stay on schedule). The Braves had a good game and the boys had a lot of fun. You can't ask for more with a bunch of 3 and 4 year olds : )

On Sunday Drew went Mt. bike riding. While gone, Jackson and I did some things around the house. He REALLY wanted to play with the Play-Doh, so I got it down from his high shelf in the closet and we went to town. We had so much fun making snakes, Play-Doh figures and cookie-cutter ghosts. Drew even came home during the action and got in on the tail end of the Play-Doh party. It was fun!

In all we had a really fun weekend. We got to spend some time with family, we got to catch a couple ballgames, I got to make some more candles, and Drew and I were able to finish Season 2 of Heroes before the premier last night. The whole weekend must have really worn Jackson out, though, since he fell asleep in the car when I picked him up from school yesterday....that rarely ever happens! Side note, Jackson has a thing for picking "treasures" up on the playground at school. I have no idea where he got this from, since Drew and I are always telling him not to pick stuff off of the ground. Anyway, when I picked him up yesterday he had his new "treasure"....this beat-up, missing one eye-piece, pair of girls sunglasses that he just had to wear home. I couldn't even begin to tell my baby no...not when he looked like this on the way home. Man, I love this kid!
