This was a wonderful 3 day weekend, which due to Colin staying home today has turned into a 4 day weekend for me and C. We started our weekend by going to the water fountain after work on Friday. We were surprised by an outdoor concert that they were putting on in the center lawn area. I had heard that they had live music on Wednesdays, but I guess Fridays too. So, Colin got to play with a couple of nice kids; one was this adorable boy from England - such a cute accent and the prettiest blue eyes I have ever seen on a person. So blue! I know, that of course my son is the cutest boy ever (what mom wouldn't think that), but I can comment on the other boys eyes because Colin's are greenish/gray so it's OK! After getting thoroughly soaked (then dried of course), we enjoyed a picnic type dinner (Panera's) while we listened to the band. The band was pretty good and they played songs I knew (Rage Against the Machine, etc). I have to mention that Panera has my favorite sandwich right now. I think it is called the Mediterranean Veggie - absolutely delicious! If you like hummus, veggies, feta cheese, etc....ooh, now I am hungry!
On Saturday, I started the morning with a nice run (sprinting intervals - a killer) around the neighborhood. I tried a different route that ended up being such a pretty area. It felt like I was in the country. I am definitely sticking to that route for a little while at least. Grandfather B drove up to help finish painting the outside of our house. The new colors looks amazing! Thank you, Bill. I also started planning how we are going to landscape our front area. I am really excited! I have a few flowers I am looking into getting. I am definitely thinking some kind of white daisies since they are one of my favorites and I already have lilies in the back (my fave). Maybe I will post the other ones with pictures to see what everyone thinks. We also need to get a fence approved for the back and to figure out what we want to do with our backyard (it is pretty small, but it unfortunately did not rank as high on our list of priorities when house searching) - so much to do. Colin and I also made it to the local library to exchange his books for some new ones. He loves the library and was a very good boy! Now every time he sees a book he calls it a library book (I love how he says library, super cute). He is also working on understanding when to say "yours" and when to say "mine". He will ask me "Is it mine?" and I will say, "yes, it is yours", then he is says "no, it is mine, not yours". We're working on it. For two, I am pretty impressed.
Sunday started with a family walk (after I did some homework) around mommy's new pretty route! Colin brought along his wagon and a few of his guys. Adorable! After Will left to go get ready for his gig, Colin and I fell asleep. We were supposed to go to a end of summer party but slept too late. What can I say, we needed it. So, instead we headed to Will's gig. We had planned to go but not until later after making an appearance at the other party. We ended up having a blast! Colin was playing with some kids and I got to listen to the band more than usual. I love my drummer! Lil' C got so excited when they started playing "Can't Stand Losing You". It is one of his favorites right now. It amazes me how outgoing he is, which means mommy has to be more outgoing - yay! He loves going up to kids and adults.
Monday was a relaxing day for us. We slept in! Had our AC fixed, luckily this weekend was not as hot as it has been. I made Will and Colin go to the craft store with me (great Labor Day sale) so we could buy some fall crafts for Colin and I to do. I am excited. Yes, you will probably see pictures in the months to come.
Such a fantastic weekend! I have some pictures of Will and Bill painting, Colin with his wagon and other house pictures, but I will share those later.
