Staycation

{sorry about all the weird sizing. . . sometimes I swear blogger has a mind of its own}

We had a bit of an extended weekend and decided to have ourselves a staycation. Because, ya know, it's all the rage these days. Here's the breakdown of events:

On Friday we went to Lagoon because it's what fun is, and because it was free for us to go with Chris's company. We dropped M off for a playdate with Grandma and Grandpa M. We rode all the rides and got headaches. We partied hard!

On Saturday, I went to volunteer at my boutique, Mindy Mae's, to get 3% taken off the commission. The show wasn't as well-attended as usual, but I sold enough to pay for the booth spot, so that was good. Chris was able to finish up the homework for his summer class.

Sunday was a good day. It was my second week as chorister, and I tried a new song-learning game involving my cat Beanie Babies. I learned a lot about how the kids react to certain elements of games. I decided I can't throw anything without things getting out of hand. After church we grilled some beef ribs and relaxed.

For lunch on Monday, we went to an old favorite, Robintino's. We went to M's six month appointment after that. Here are the stats:
Height: 27.5 in (officially off the charts)
Weight: 18# 4 oz. (95%)
Head circumference: 16.5 in (30%)
She is right around where she has been since she was born, so that was great to hear. The doctor also said that her lower gums are starting to look swollen, so maybe she will be getting her first tooth soon. We also stopped at Target to get her first sippy cups too! M has really perfected the roll from back to front, and now she sleeps on her side. Anyway, back to Monday: After the appointment, we went home and let M have a nap. For FHE, we went up to my parents' house for hobo dinners and smores. It was a lot of fun!

Today we went to Pineview Reservior for a barbeque lunch and a walk along the beach. The weather was perfect and we had a great time. M doesn't like getting sunscreen rubbed into her face, but she seemed to like the Snugli backpack carrier we got for her.

Chris has to go back to work tomorrow, but we were glad he could take some time off for a little bit of fun.
