Well, this is a little belated, but we had such a good holiday weekend I wanted to write about it.

It all started Thursday when I ended up leaving Brenden at Grandma and Grandpa’s for the night. I made plans to go to dinner and a movie with Patrick and both were excellent. Then Patrick surprised me with the news that he had spotaniously taken Friday off. So 4 day weekend!

Friday we slept in. Went and got late donuts. And started to tackle our long to do list. We were expecting to need to pick Brenden up around 3, but got an even bigger break because he ended up being out until 5. So we got a ton of stuff done.

Saturday we had a little pool party in the afternoon and early evening. It was a come and go thing and we really didn’t know how long it would last. Since most of our friends that came had small children or weren’t participating in the swimming, it wrapped up around 6 which gave us plenty of time to clean up and rest. We had a great time hanging out with everyone. Sadly, I didn’t get any pictures because I’m paranoid about Brenden and the water and so I was watching him 99% of the time. But I think he had a great time having friends over and I know we did!

Sunday was spent tackling more of our to do list and we came pretty close to finishing it. I don’t even know what we did Monday.

It was really nice to have 4 days of our little family being all together, having fun and getting stuff done.

One of the things I accomplished was to take the ugly gold shower doors off of the tub/shower in Brenden’s bathroom. We are putting up a car theme in there since he loves them so much. Here he is admiring his new shower curtain.
