We had a very busy Easter weekend last weekend. Never a dull moment....which I like!
Friday night, we hightailed it home at a pretty decent time so we could be at Nick and Adelle's before 7:00 to find out if Baby M is a boy or girl. No way we're we missing that! For the first time ever, as luck would have it, Barrett decided he did not want to sleep a wink on the drive. I spent the entire hour and 45 minutes, talking, clapping, singing and acting like an idiot so that he would be entertained. Cranky boy was not having it. I wrote in his 6 months post the day prior that he had never not slept on our way home and baby boy made sure I would eat my words. We made it to the party in one piece and quickly found out that Barrett's new friend will be a BOY! I thought boy pretty much since the moment Adelle told me she was pregnant but I started wavering as time got near. September 1 will be here before we know it!
Saturday was another eventful day. Let's call this "The day of the Whine." By the end of it, I would have preferred it to be "The day of the Wine." Kid could not get it together. Joe went golfing that morning while B and I went to Aunt Allyson's first bridal shower. He napped decently that morning and I quickly got him dressed and ready to go. Without fail, he spit up prunes all over his outfit as soon as we walked in the door so it was a diaper and outfit change to start. Thankfully, he had many women wanting to hold and entertain him so that I could pay attention to the shower. Bonus: I won the game "How well do you know the bride?" Shocker, I know!
That night, we went over to Joe's moms for dinner with his family for Uncle Nate's belated birthday. Again, kiddo could not get it together. Constant whine fest happening and nothing would entertain him. He was just really irritable.
Easter Sunday arrived and thankfully, Barrett woke up on the right side of the bed and was HAPPY! Although B does really well in church, I decided to have Joe stay home with him so that he could keep his normal morning nap time. We had brunch at my parents house with most of my aunts, uncles and cousins. And of course, we had to do the annual egg hunt.
Joe's family was having Easter at noon and we had planned on going just a bit late after we finished with my family. Well the kiddo had other plans when he pretty much put himself down for a nap. I usually try to skip his naps on days like this as we rarely get to see all our families together but after the crappy day on Saturday, skipping naps was not wise. After he woke, Joe took him over to see Grandpa Todd and I got to lay on the couch! With nothing to do! This never happens so it was fantastic and bonus was that I could watch the Masters. We hung at my parents late that evening so we could watch Bubba clinch the green jacket and got on the road just in time for B's normal bedtime. All in all, a great but busy weekend.
This weekend, I'll be traveling up north again but by myself as Joe is going turkey hunting. On tap for B and I is dress shopping for Aunt Rachel's wedding and hopefully a swim at the Elks pool. We're sure gonna miss Daddy though!
