We *heart* long weekends

3 day weekends used to be my favorite thing in the world. But now with my work schedule being M-Th, 3 day weekends are 4 day weekends and the fun has been extended. We kicked off our memorial day weekend with some mama/babies time on Friday. I love this day as I get to spend sweet solo time with my punkins. We played outside in the beautiful grass, went to the library to enjoy stories and return and check out new books, and played a lot of play dough :) Saturday we headed to Mt Laguna for 2 days in the mountains at Noni & Pa's cabin. We cooked, played darts, layed on the hammock, enjoyed nature, and just chilled. Sunday, however was a wacky day.

#1 strange situation:
Colin ran a fever Friday night so his sleep was a little off. He woke up at 5am but Morgan told him it wasn't time to get up yet. So 6 am came and went and the clock ticked past his normal wake up time of 6:30... 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, and at TWELVE FIFTEEN, Colin finally woke up. Morgan and I must have gone into his room every 10 minutes to ensure he was breathing. The child clearly just was under the weather and needed his sleep. Seriously strange morning!

#2 odd (more like sad) scenerio:
We went for a little hike Sunday. Hiking sticks in hand, we all headed out and were totally enjoying the beauty. Logan was riding on Morgan's shoulder and our almost always happy baby suddenly starting crying the saddest cry you have ever heard. We all looked to see what happened, and we saw Morgan with a panicked look and batting at something. A yellow jacket had stung our sweetheart on the finger. His little pointer finger was swollen and very red, but luckily Morgan had flicked the little devil off in time so no stinger was left. We iced and cleaned his finger and thank goodness, there was no allergic reaction.

We headed back Sunday afternoon and enjoyed a family evening Sunday. And yesterday, had friends over for a BBQ and swimming- a perfect way to round out Memorial Day. So happy summer is almost here... it's so nice to be outside non-stop!!

Off for a hike...
