This Weekend

Hey everyone!!!

This weekend was INSANE!  I mean that in a really good way, but boy am I tired!!!  On Friday night, I crammed about four days of cleaning into a few hours. 

You see, with my new job starting on Tuesday, and all the plans I had for the weekend, I really wanted to have the house cleaned and all the laundry completed.  Unfortunately, all those wonderful plans fell through when I found out that I'd lost my sitter for Saturday.  Now that I would have Vincent, I couldn't do about ten of my "To-Do's" which meant we threw everything out the window and spent the entire weekend having fun.

Good thing I crammed my productivity into Friday night, huh?

Anyway, on Saturday I took Vincent to the farm.  He went apple picking for the very first time, and while we were at it, we picked some corn, too!  You only live once, kid, and you haven't truly lived until you get lost in row upon row of corn.  :)  I think he enjoyed the hay ride that ferried us between the various fields.  He and another little boy kept grabbing fistfuls of hay to "rain down" onto the floor boards.

He was a little afraid of the stalks, but he liked shucking the corn!
After we picked the apples and corn, we found our way back to the market where we picked up peaches.  These peaches were HUGE!  They were the size of John's fists, and John's got some pretty huge hands.  Vincent really enjoyed eating those.  At first he refused because I was calling them "peaches," but as soon as I represented them as "apples" he went to town.  He's definitely at that stage where trying new things is suspect.  *Shakes head*  Ah well.  Now he eats them just fine... even if I call them by their proper name.

Super late Saturday night I drove down to meet up with my in-laws in Ocean City.  Being the last weekend of the summer, I wanted to make sure Vince got at least one more "beach day" before we packed it in. 

It was great because friends of the family were also down, and the kids in this family adore Vince.  Vince adores them, too, so it worked out really well.  They practically took over parenting duties for me the whole of Sunday.  He absolutely gloried in their attention!  It was so adorable to see them vying for his attention... it really was.  :)

Finally, Monday rolled around and it was a little bit of a bust.  The weather was dreary, so we weren't able to do much outside.  However, I wanted to take Vince up to get photos like we do every Labor Day weekend.  John was away for a bachelor party he hosted, so he wasn't able to come with, but I wanted to keep the tradition going and surprise him with photos when we saw him that night. 

At first, Vincent was in rare form and didn't want to take them.  So I walked all the way home with him and put him down for a nap.  After the nap, I decided to try again in the hopes that he was in a more willing mood.  I was not disappointed, and we ended up with quite the happy result!

Yes, I realize I allowed my son to get photographed holding a gun.  When he was younger, I allowed him to be photographed with an empty bottle of Jack.  Please save any and all comments of irritation or snark.  My husband likes these photos, and I find them to be a fun compromise considering I refuse to allow guns into the house (whether they be toy or otherwise - no matter how much the husband begs, barters or pleads). 

Anyway, it was a fun weekend, but I'm beat!  Oh, and we also got Vince a haircut.  It was his first time in the chair all by himself.  I'm so happy he sat still!!!

Happy!!!
So yes... even though I was unable to do the litany of things I wanted to check off my To-Do List before my 1st Day, I think I still did pretty well.  Being able to spend time with Vincent doing fun and goofy things beats laundry, floor scrubbing and errand-running any day of the week.  :)
