Wow, what a weekend....
I have to say it was a whirlwind of things this weekend. I've been working really hard to make sure things were good for us and Benton for the weekend and it worked out great. Friday I was able to get off work early and got everything packed and ready and keys dropped off t0![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
ickaimp for kitty sitting all before mel was home with the boy. We got in the car and on the road with good time and then up to our hotel. We got settled and then headed out to have dinner with the college crewe at a little hole in the wall mexican place. Very nice. Little boy was a bit crazy toward the end but he was up way late. We got to bed and he babbled for a while and then was crashed out. He did wake up a few times and I had to cover him back up or get a binky. We got up a bit early and then got down to the hotel breakfast before getting dressed and heading out. If I'd been smart I would have gotten up earlier myself to get ready but we made it to site exactly with the rest of the household which was good enough. The one thing that was a theme for the rest of the weekend though was that both mel and I were not the best at driving this weekend....more on that later.
We managed to get the boy situated, the house shade set up and people gathering for the day pretty well. We seem to have a good rhythm for setting things up now and we also figured out a plan for our new shiny sunshade. Its gonna be painted and neato.
The rest of the day was a git of a whirlwind. I was a good consort, got the boy what he needed when and tried not to be a hovering mom with Benton. Ari and the rest of the Hrafn crewe took good care of him and he slept through the most stressful part of the day which was the finals. Mel was in the finals versus Thomas and Dongal. I held onto Ilora's arm through the whole thing and I have to admit it was a bit surreal watching from that view point. I didn't have a marshal butt in my face but I also didn't have a camera to record things as I normally do. It was odd. Thomas beat Dongal and then he fought Ivan and I will have to watch the tapes of the fight to see what happened but we were not the winners that day. I'm okay with Cheesecake. Got off of the field after the oaths and was dead tired. oof. I snuggled up with Ari during court since the boy was still out and Avis was a dear and continued to watching a cute sleeping baby. I was weary and I think the only thing that kept me awake during court was our banter back and forth and watching Mariyah get the shield of chivalry for her courtesy and then the laurels getting hauled up for the offerings of Tatiana and Raven.
We packed everyone up after court and then headed off to the hotel with Ed to get cleaned up and then head to dinner at Spinatos with the college crewe. This was the first time that Ed had gotten to meet Mughi and it was geektastic. Jessie's mom was also there so it was good to chat with her. Little boy was tired but was too spun up to snuggle up for a nap even though it was late and he had full tummy syndrome. Got in the car and Mel ended up backing into a black SUV crunching our bumper. We couldn't find the owner and ended up leaving a note but we were all a bit weird after that. Benton was screaming cause the seat had tightened down on him and scared him badly. We were all tired but the car, though dented and having a taillight crunched is okay. We got to Ez and Gile's for a get together and to drop Ed off for the night and had a nice hour chatting with folks before it was time to go back to the hotel for us. Benton was crashed out and we got home and gave him a bit more to drink and then we all crashed hard. Little boy didn't say a peep all night and stayed snuggled way under all of his blankets. We did too come to think of it.
The morning came early but we were happy and rested. We headed out after getting the car packed up to Cupz n' Crepes and enjoyed a great breakfast. Little boy had a ham and cheese crepe and he ate most of it. He stuffed himself silly on it. So cute! We got him in the car and he was out for the count. Got to site and got unloaded and had a really nice day hanging out in under the shade. Little boy was happy to play in the dirt and play with the other kids though Perry, Odde's youngest didn't get you aren't supposed to throw dirt on toddlers. There were tears and little boy refused to nap. We had a good time and then loaded everyone in the car. After a quick stop at the Scnepf Farm store (the boy was crashed out hard) we drove home. It was a good drive and we got home and I was tired...course we all were. Little boy was in clingy whiney stage so he got put in his crib to cry. He was pretty inconsolable for quite some time so we unloaded, got him a bath (still tears) and then got dinner for us and then he got put to bed. We watched TV for 20 mins and then we worked on putting things away so scribble clean up would be minimal. I fell asleep on the couch and we were in bed and showered at a pretty decent time. I finished #5 for the year The Hob's Bargain and was asleep really quickly.
