{Saturday}
On Saturday, we had a relaxing morning of
sleeping in, making breakfast, watching documentaries and then headed to
Michael’s to find the perfect frame and matting for Jared’s WWII plane
print! This was #1 on his list of things
to do this weekend! He did a wonderful
job at picking out the frame and the matting!
And the bonus was that everything was on sale! $15 dollars later he had the perfect frame
for his awesome print! Just look at that face! Pure joy!
This was my special present to him for
Christmas, but we forgot to bring it to my parent’s house, so he received it
late…really late because I had every intention of framing it, but looking back,
I am really glad that I let him choose the frame. It was a big thing for him!
After Michael’s, Jared, Lira and I headed
to the local state park! I already
blogged about our little hike here, but overall, it was the perfect day to
watch little rascals run through the woods, play Indian and chase each
other! I just hung back and took
pictures. It was perfect for me. My heart swelled and is still swollen from
that short time in the woods.
Saturday afternoon I made little man’s
favorite soup…tomato soup! He was in hog
heaven and kept saying, this is soooo
good! I soaked it all in because I
don’t cook that often anymore given that I work longer hours than my
husband. Weekends are my time to shine
and I did with my tomato soup on Saturday evening! Heck yea!
After dinner, we headed to Mass and attempted to go bowling, but it was
soo crowed (every single time we attempt to go bowling, the wait is over an
hour and we end up leaving). Instead of
bowling, we went home and watching The
Dark Knight Rises with some friends while eating ice cream! It was a really great movie! I know,
I am way behind the times when it comes to movies.
{Sunday}
Sunday was nice! It was a true family day. We slept in a bit, brewed a nice pot of
coffee, I made breakfast and we all went to the aquarium. The original plan was to see an iMax, but we
arrive a few minutes too late, so we decided to visit the aquarium instead and
it was a blessing in disguise! A) I love
aquariums! B) We were on our feet as oppose to sitting. C) It was a beautiful
day and being outside for part of the experience was amazing! The sharks and turtles were super
active! Sadly I didn’t have my camera
because the plan was to see an iMax.
Luckily the iPhone does a fine job at capturing moments. Sometimes I am oddly happy to not have my
camera because I live more in the moment as opposed to trying to capture a
shot.
After the aquarium, we headed to Pi Pizza
for lunch! Amazing pizza to say the
least and a freakin sweet name!!! Nerd
alert! I love π, like really love 22/7, 3.1428571…you get the drift! Math is fun people! The natural question to ask any child at Pi
Pizza is if they know what Pi means…he had an idea, but nothing too clear. I am proud to say that he knows now. While having this discussion, we tossed
around a play piece of pizza dough!
Super nasty for me, super fun for him!
Sunday afternoon…the San Francisco 49ers
won. Husband is happy. I had two friends over and we crafted…well, I
crafted and they chatted with me! I’m
making burp cloths and a baby mobile for an expecting friend…the one I took
photos of a week or so ago! Here’s the
work in progress…
{Monday}
Yup, this lucky lady had off on
Monday! Thank you MLK! I love long weekends, like really love
them! Husband golfed in the morning, so
Jared and I went to the Military Aviation Museum! This child loves WWII planes and knows his
stuff! The 80+ year old veteran that
toured us around kept telling me how impressed he was with his knowledge and
interest in the planes. It was a proud
moment for me. When Jared sees planes,
his eyes light up! This was a big event
for him and one he really, really enjoyed!
I’m glad we were able to share another moment this weekend!

After the museum, we headed to Flip Flops
Bar & Chill…yes Chill, not Grill…to
meet up with Ryan and his golfing buddy for lunch. It’s a place that was featured on Triple D and
since we were near it, we figured we’d try it out. Super success! I had a rare tuna sandwich
that was amazing!
That afternoon, I finished some crafting,
went food shopping, did some laundry and then got ready for a girl’s
night! It’s restaurant week here, so a
few of my favorite local ladies and I went out to dinner! Oh my heavens, it was amazing! I ate out a lot this weekend…not good for my
waistline… Being surrounded by girl friends that are like sisters, chatting
about pregnancy (because two are preggers), our husbands, moving around, work,
and just life was so nice. These ladies
are smart cookies with big hearts! I
love them dearly and will miss them terribly when they move away.
After dinner, we watched the
Bachelor. Yes, I am a faithful
follower. Never missed a season. Never will. It’s my guilty pleasure.
Much love.
