What a lovely weekend - it felt like I was celebrating all weekend long!
On Friday evening, I got to escape and go over to Rachel's to catch up over wine. Raleigh was sleeping the ENTIRE TIME, which was kind of annoying as I had wanted to snuggle him, but it allowed us ample boozing time so I'll give him a pass.
On Saturday, we took a trip to a new park that Greg had stumbled upon and it was so fun! Ben obviously had a blast.
Next, we stopped by Home Depot and purchased a black out shade for Ben's room. He apparently liked it, because he napped that afternoon for 4 hours. :) :) :) Greg and I finally got to watch the last few episodes of Breaking Bad.
Saturday evening Greg made a DELICIOUS dinner of grilled flank steak and crab cakes, while I contributed by roasting asparagus and making buerre blanc sauce. I swear, it's hard not to feel health-conscious as you are whipping up 12 tablespoons of butter, but once you taste it - you stop caring. Completely.
On Sunday Morning, Ben slept until 8 (THANK YOU, BLACK OUT SHADE) and then Greg made us breakfast.
Next up, we piled in the car to walk around Greenlake. I had warned Greg ahead of time that he had better try to find parking far away from the P-A-R-K, as I knew once Ben saw that he would not be at all interested in riding in the stroller during our walk....but apparently he forgot ;) We spent the next 45 ish minutes watching Ben leaning WAY over, pointing towards the ground and shouting, "I want to WALK". LOL.
When we came home, it was nap time - so I spent some forcing myself to sit down (and not clean) and catch up on some reading ;)
I am happy to say that I feel soooooo thankful and lucky and deliriously happy every day of the year that I get to be this guy's mama. I truly never knew it could be this good to be a parent. :)
Happy belated Mother's Day! Glad you had a nice day! :) Where is cool, new park you discovered?
