Nice Long Weekend

My weekend started out on Thursday. We went to an indoor water park in WI for the night. We came home on Friday. We had gone there last Nov. Munchkin just loves it and is quite the little fish. This was part of his birthday present. Also, we really needed some time together as a family.



Yes these are with daddy only. Mommy doesn't do the large tube slide(or pictures in her bathing suit)!! {note to self..get a tan} Just not my favorite. There are like 100 stairs to get up to this things and he goes up them I don't know how many times. Man I wish I had that kind of energy!! It was a fun time!

The weather around here ended up being pretty nice all weekend. There was threat of rain during the day, but only got some last night. So we had fun doing things outside. Daddy and Munchkin played a lot of t-ball. He really needs some practice at that. Doesn't want to follow direction very well. We didn't do anything else really. Just worked in the yard a bit, ran some errands and played. It really felt like Mr. T spent some quality family time with us this weekend that was much needed. Of course that comes at a price...we sold a ton of stuff and are now behind! What else is new!!!

Munchkin got a flyer in his backpack from school last week about a special at a local Karate place. I have debated karate before but just wanted him to be a bit older. Since I have seen quite a change in him I thought hey why not give it a try. So Wed we went for a trial class and he loved it. So I think we are going to do that. It is 4 weeks and you are suppose to go 2 times a week! I also him him starting in a swim class June 9th for 2 weeks and a sport sampler class that is on Mondays for 6 weeks. Sheesh...June will be busy. I don't have anything else planned for the rest of the summer though. I have been looking at some park district classes to take in July or August. Then the church where he goes to preschool is having a vacation bible school for a week at the end of July for only $25. Sign me up!

His preschool ended last week. I have asked my mom to keep taking him one day a week and then I asked my MIL if she would watch him a few hour one day. I have to still be able to work some days. I don't want him to feel like mommy is on the computer all the time when he is around. It is hard enough when he is home on the off days. Sometimes I have to make some phone calls so I have to have a show on or bribe him with chocolate to be quiet for a few minutes! I feel horrible, but sometimes I just have to.

Well, besides all that, nothing is really new with us. Just slowly getting into the gear of summer. It has to officially warm up. Tomorrow is only suppose to be 57??? I did get a sunburn today though!

It sounds like you guys had a very wonderful weekend Ali. That water park looks awesome! I am surely having a hard time getting back to work after a long weekend. Are you feeling my pain too?!?!
