Fun Weekend with Pops

We had such a LONG weekend this past weekend! My Aunt Debbie, Uncle Mike, and cousin Daniel came in this past weekend for our annual family reunion. So Friday, we went to Nana's house. Gregory did not have a nap at all on Friday! We got home around 9 or so. It was such a long day! On Saturday, we went to the family reunion in Rockwall. It was fun. I took Gregory over to the park to play. He was somewhat interested, but it was so hot! I know he would have had more fun if Daddy would have been there, but Daddy was taking his parents to the airport. After Gregory decided he was done playing on the playground he went to play with Daniel and Aunt Sarah. They were throwing a softball. He grew tired of that pretty quick, and then we went inside to cool off. We were probably back inside the building for a quick 2 minutes, and then Gregory wanted to follow his cousin Molly outside to play on a different (shaded) playground behind the building we were in. He had to climb over a plastic barrier to get into the playground (he was big enough to do it) and they all of a sudden he started freaking out. Right where he had crawled over, there was a massive pile of some kind of ants. He got bitten everywhere! We left before the family reunion was over because Gregory and Addison both needed a nap. Well, Addison took a nap, but Gregory decided that a nap was not for him. That means that 2 days in a row, he did not have a nap. THAT MEANS TROUBLE! We went to Nana's house around 5:30 for dinner. Cousin Michael was still there when we got there. Gregory was not too fond of him at first. But then Michael finally made Gregory laugh, so then they could play together. Dinner was great, it was left overs. But leftovers at Nana's house are never bad! I think we finally left Nana's around 8:30. It was another long day, and the kids were so tired!

Sunday was so much fun! We went to church in the morning, and then we went to Pop's house to go out on the lake. Well, it took forever to get out because some cord or something had busted. While we waited, Gregory helped Aunt Sarah mow the back yard. Then he came inside and watched "Up". He LOVES that movie! It's probably about 2:00 at this time, and both kids had still not had a nap. GREAT! Dad's girlfriend Lynne made oatmeal chocolate chip cookies. They were good. Addison somehow got a piece of chocolate chip. She LOVED it! When we finally got out on the boat, Gregory was having a blast. Addison, not so much. I finally got her to sleep, and she took about an hour and a half nap while we were out and about. It was a huge difference from last year, Gregory was so excited!

Fun Time with Wyatt

I have been watching our friend's son Wyatt a couple of days a week, and it has been so much fun! He and Addison love each other so much! I am always catching them staring at each other. It's so funny! Addison is always following him around the house. I got Addison up from her nap and was changing her diaper, Wyatt came to stand by her side. Then Addison decided it would be fun to take Wyatt's pacifier. He didn't mind at all. Then when she was finished, about two seconds later, she just gave it back to him.

We went to Chic-Fil-A after we took Gregory to school yesterday. They had lots of fun.

Gregory's first day of school

Gregory's first day of weekday school at the church was today. He goes every Tuesday and Thursday now. He is getting to be such a big boy. He wasn't being very cooperative this morning before school. I wanted to get a cute picture, but these are all I got. He was so ready to get out of the door. 

When I got to the church to pick Gregory up from school he was still asleep. His teacher told me when she went to change his pull up it was dry and he asked to go potty. So he went in the bathroom and went potty. Then when we got home he told me he had to go "poo-poo." No accidents today!

This is the picture that Gregory brought home today!

Labor Day Weekend

This weekend was so much fun!

Friday night we went out to eat at Sauza in Fate with the Calhouns. What a great family! (PS.. Joy, let's never go there again. Remind me to tell you why next time I see you.) It was fun, Gregory and Ella play so well together. They are always giving each other hugs and kisses :)

Saturday Grandma, Grandpa, KaKa, and Aunt Sarah came over and we had a mini early birthday party for Gregory. Grandma and Grandpa will be out of town for his real birthday party so they wanted to come over early. Gregory was so happy he got a Tonka Flip Car, and a Handy Manny tool set. Then Pops surprised him with his early birthday present. He got a swing set, and he loves it so much! Grandma brought cupcakes, ice cream, and root beer. Gregory's favorite was the root beer. He loves root beer when Mommy lets him have it (which is not often). Then we went to Nana's for dinner because the Harris' came into town from Stanton. Good dinner! But of course, dinner is always good at Nana's. 

Sunday Gregory wanted to go to KaKa's, so we did. It was just a nice relaxing day!

Labor day (today) we just hung out around the house and then went to the Calhoun's house for dinner. Joy cooked a mean brisket and baked beans. I would comment on the ribs, but I didn't have any. Gregory had so much fun playing with Ella except for when he smacked her in the stomach and then later on when he slapped her on the face. Daddy took him and spanked him, then he came back to apologize and tell Ella he was sorry and she rejected him. It was so funny!

What a great, long, weekend this was. But it is about to change very quickly tomorrow and be super busy!

Tomorrow is Gregory's first day of weekday school at FBC Rockwall. I am so excited! I know that he is going to be so good, and make lots of friends! We have parent orientation after we (me and Addison) drop him off. How exciting! 

Tomorrow, however, not as fun, I have to go renew the registration on my car. It is 2 months overdue. OOOPS! I had no idea though. Bradley and I thought it went out this month. I got a ticket. I have to go take care of all of that tomorrow. YUCK!
