The weather this weekend was absolutely gorgeous here! As someone said, "It's the perfect day you wait for all winter & all summer for!" So as you'll read, we definitely made the best of it. :-)
Saturday morning I woke up early to check out four garage sales specifically looking for toddler clothing for our son, summer maternity clothes & yarn to refill my cabinet (which I use to make blankets with for the pet shelter). Although I was left the house by 8:30 am, everybody had been cleaned out the day before! I did manage to find some Madi Gras bead necklaces which my son gets a kick dancing with. So by 9:15 am I was done. When I called home, my hubby & son were still sleeping (he's been having night terrors again on & off) so I went over to the nail salon where after a short wait I got a great french manicure with summer colors. It only cost me $20 with tip! Nothing like pretty nails to make a women feel attractive (especially when pregnant)! Anyhow, I went non-traditional & got the soft pink with ice blue tips. Then again as people know, I've always like to do things differently. ;-)

When I got home, we all had lunch & went outside. There our neighbor had arrived with the roller (to flatten out our bumpy yards). While three guys (including my hubby) made preparations, my son watched intently eager to help.
Then we played on the swing set in our backyard for a short time before my son & I both took a nap. When I woke up, I joined my hubby & son at the local neighborhood park where my son was playing with another little girl.
On the way home from the park, we stopped by our neighbor's home who were putting up their new swing set. He was already halfway through but my hubby helped him with the last half. Isn't that what you do for neighbors & friends? Then the kids enjoyed playing on their new swing set as my hubby emptied our car to head to my folks place.

When we got to my folks' place, we visited with their next door neighbor while our sons played together. Then it was off to Old Country Buffet to eat our fill! Before we headed home, my son received a stuffed dinosaur which he fell asleep with on the way home. By the time we got home, my hubby & son were fast asleep in the car.
Sunday brought another great day! We met my in-laws at their new home in the late morning. My mother-in-law & I picked up my sister-in-law & then we all headed to my hubby's cousin's wife's baby shower. She looked amazing at 7.5 months! I hope I look that good then.
While we were at the shower, my hubby & son spent the day at a children's amusement park with Grandpa. (I’ll post those pictures in the next day or so.) It was a guys' day where they all had a blast. My son evidently loved the log ride & roller coaster the best! He's definitely a thrill-seeker! I wouldn't be surprised if he turns out one of those guys interested in motorcycles.
Then we all had dinner at Colonial Cafe. My son was very cranky but ate well considering (even if half of what he ate was part of my French toast). Before we left my in-laws for the evening, son took another bike ride (on Daddy's bike with the new attachment that allows him to sit in front of Daddy) with Daddy. It was so incredibly windy that we expected the wind to blow them over!
