Weekend update and Easter stuff and photos
Apr. 9th, 2012 12:48 pmWell, we had a weekend that is for sure...not what I expected out of a weekend but well it was and that is okay.
My goals for the weekend were to pick up the house and work on projects and rest. I managed some of that. Friday I got up with Benton early and got him to daycare so he could go to his egg hunt before his 12month doc appointment. He had a good time at that and we picked him up to head to the doctor. He weighed in at 23 lbs on the nose and 30.75" long. Putting him in the 76% for his age. Not too shabby. He did okay during the shots and the toe stick for a Iron check (37% btw) and then it was off to drop him off at daycare....which I shouldn't have done. We got going on projects and I resting when they called that the car was done. I had dropped it off at the body shop to get the bumper/trunk replaced after the accident in March and they finished up which was good. The HHR was a PITA to drive cause I sit too tall to see out of it well. We headed off to get the cars switched when daycare called and Benton was crying and not doing well after his nap. Picked him up as quick as we could and he was in a lot of pain from the shots. Got him home and dosed with tylenol and we settled into an okay night. Saturday morning we went off to the local park to attend an egg hunt. The local baptist church led the festivities but it was fun and we got out to the park for a good walk. Benton managed to get two eggs and then was given a few more by one of the teenagers helping wrangle hunters. We got home and he had a good time just opening the eggs and playing with the plastic.
I rested the rest of the day while Benton took a 4 hour nap and then I headed to the Baronial Calendar Meeting. The attendance was ok but we got a lot of work done and have autocrats for all of our events coming up for the next year or so. Still have a lot flipping around until the Estrella dates are confirmed so we shall see what we get.
Saturday night mel and I stayed up late watching Cars which was nice. I worked on my crocheted shawl that I started at Estrella and it was nice. Sunday dawned early. Benton was up at 545am and I finally got him up at 630am. Gah. He had milk and we snuggled up on the couch watching tv for a bit. Mel got up and we had a nice breakfast and then got ready to go to the zoo.
The zoo was nice and Benton got to interact with the animals much more than last time. He saw the monkeys and was very intrigued. The new elephant exhibit is AWESOME! We now have a baby elephant!!!! Woot! We hit the grocery store before we hit home and had lunch. Mr. Benton did not want to go down for his nap and when he did sleep he woke up screaming. He was sore and cranky from the shots again and after some Ari luv, milk, snuggles and tylenol the world was much better. Ari was over to work on the household cloak project and I managed to get all of the new books catalouged and moved into the stacks and start another raven. Hopefully we can soon get everyone working on those and get that project nipped in the bud in the next few weeks. Lots too do.
Today has been slow but I'm okay with that got a lot to start working on with work. I've been temporarily assigned back to the old program to work for a few months to help them out. Luckily its not my old hardware but new stuff so it should be okay.
