Fun Friday

This past Friday was an especially fun one on my Mommy-Is-Home adventure. I hooked up with the DeKalb mom's group, and we met at a nearby park to play with some of the kiddos and moms Logan and I hadn't seen in about a year. Logan had a blast playing with the kids, and I felt better that he had an opportunity to socialize with others his age. And I had fun, too, talking with the other moms. We went home, ate lunch, and napped for a couple hours. When we woke up, daddy-o was home and it was time for Logan's first-ever tumbling class. While most of the class consists of very young ones (around 1 year), there were two little girls Logan's age--one of which became Logan's partner in crime. The two of them were decidedly the most hyper of the bunch, and after they passed through the different obstacle courses the "coaches" had set up for the kids, they did a few laps around the gym, since the balance beam, bear walks, log rolls, and crawls through the nylon tunnel didn't sufficiently get the wiggles out. I knew the park and tumbling class met his approval because when we left both places, he said, "Mom, that fun!" And what did Auden do while Logan was out having a good time? Well, Auden did what Auden usually does best--he slept through it all.

On Saturday, we had a play date with the kids down the street, and rounding out the fun-filled weekend, was today. Eric and I asked some friends over for an impromptu get-together, and everyone made it out to watch the Bears game and catch up on things. We had a blast seeing some friends we aren't able to see often enough and Logan had lots of fun playing with his friends, too. This was the same bunch he wowed by eating sidewalk chalk; thankfully, there was no chalk around for him to eat today, though he did impress everyone with his monstrous ROAR-the one he uses when he chases the cats around the house. The only downside to a wonderful weekend with beautiful weather was that we had to miss Kitefest in DeKalb, but there's always next year...
