Last night we went to a local amateur racetrack with some friends who are visiting from out-of-town. We’ve never been racing before but had a blast. As much as we wanted to, we couldn’t join them afterwards because we figured most bars are smoky which is definitely bad for the baby & me. When we returned home, my hubby’s parents said how much fun they had watching our son. Then it was off to bed we went!
Then sometime during the evening, our son crawled into bed with us, immediately said ‘I miss Grandma and Grandpa’ & went back to sleep. Then this morning we attended a sibling class at the hospital. Our son did a great job listening & behaving during the tour of the maternity ward at the hospital. The rooms at the maternity ward are very nice & look as comfortable as you can get!
'Ready to start your engines?'
Afterwards we went to an outdoor family sports center where my hubby & son rode the go-carts together twice. We tried to play miniature golf but failed miserably when our son had no interest in following directions.
On the way home, we perused some garage sales & by pure chance found something we weren’t looking for… a used kitchen table in good shape that had two leaf extensions which is perfect for the kitchen with our growing family. When we got home, we took apart & stored the old table, replacing it with the new one after cleaning it. We left one leaf in for general use & have the other leaf to put in when we have company. Although it didn’t strike us as ‘yes let’s get it’ when we first saw it, I have to say that after it was up I am absolutely loving it!!! It’s wonderful to be able to fit four people plus the main dishes on the table without worrying about how close they are to our son.
When our son awoke from his nap, we worked on the baby’s room. While our son helped Daddy work on the changing table & crib, I put up the new window stickers (http://www.berlinwallpaper.com/PrissPrints/index.htm) on the baby’s bedroom window. We had grilled hamburgers, sausage & hot dogs for dinner. For future reference, adding garlic salt definitely adds some flavor to hamburgers.
When the ice cream truck came by after dinner, the three of us each got ice cream & our son’s tongue turned dark blue from the ice cream. My son & hubby picked up the croquet set outside & then we emptied & cleared out the cooler. Once everything was put away downstairs, my hubby played with my son with the pool table. When the two of them ran to the hardware store, I rested as I started to get some more frequent Braxton Hick contractions as of today. Our son then helped Daddy finish repairing the changing table & then it was off to bed for our son.
So far, it’s been an excellent weekend. Tonight we’re watching a movie to relax & then going to bed.
