What a great weekend! I love good full on family weekends when hubby Hayden and I can all 3 just do fun things together and not have a care in the world! I sure do love being a mommy and a wife! We live on a pretty tight schedule and most ppl that know me know that when it is Hayden's bedtime... I ain't playing around. This weekend I decided (with a little help the influences around me chanting for me just to let her stay up and not to worry so much about it) to actually not live by a schedule for once. SO the weekend started Friday morning when Justin gt home from work and got us all pumped up to go swimming. We went to nana and paw paws swimming pool, just the 3 of us, and played. Hayden got to slide and eventually wanted to do it on her own... I know I know, we will no more let her climb the slide and go alone but I really wanted to get it on video and Justin needed to be at the bottom to catch her. Check it out on my facebook page! Saturday we headed over to Jen and Dave's for a cookout with some of the mommies on YCM and afterward we just hung around with them. Justin and Dave get along very well and that is a good thing b/c Jen and I are pretty good friends and Hayden and Connor are like best friends. ;) It is so fun to get them two together. You can just tell they enjoy each others company when they see the other walk in the room they just light up. They are more alike than any two kids I know and I think Jen and I are a lot alike as well. So those influeneces I was talking about, lol, convinced me to stay and hang out after 7:30 (H's bedtime) and Hayden did so good! She just played and played. A neighbor of theirs cam over as well and they have a 4yo daughter so Hayden had someone to play with since Connor had conked out a bit earlier. We decided to sleep without an alarm clock and once we woke up head out on the boat. We got up at 9am Sunday - packed a lunch AND dinner and off we went! Guess what? That meant I was knowingly going out and not coming back in for Hayden's nap! *gasp* Well, it worked out, she slept on the boat :). "See Lin, it is not so bad to let it go for something special" We met Jen Dave and Connor out at the sand bar and a couple other friends. We grilled our very yummy italian chicken right there on the boat and headed back around 7. Hayden was such a trooper and wasn't even whiny.... now tomorrow may be another story but she will get back on schedule and she will be fine! This weekend was so worth letting my hair down and taking in every bit of my wonderful family and my good friends! I love life!
