We had a really fun, busy weekend. I love weekends like that, but I have to admit, by the time bedtime rolled around last night, I was d.o.n.e.

So let’s see…it started bright ‘n’ early Saturday with breakfast at IHOP with my friend Anne and her little boy Whitman, and Anne’s sister Becky and her daughter Lexie. Becky’s husband joined us too. It wasn’t a huge success…I didn’t bring snacks and breakfast took a while to get to the table. The result:

Times three.

After breakfast, we all headed to Toys R Us because there was a Thomas event going on, and Whitman is a HUGE Thomas fan. (He’s on the left here)

Then we headed home for a while, to rest up before the birthday party of a friends’ twins. That party was at City Park’s Storyland, and the boys had a blast. Woo hoo!

And THEN, to cap off a crazy awesome day, we headed to Baton Rouge to see Grandee and Larry! As fun as pancakes, Thomas and cake is, NOTHING beats Grandee and Larry’s house! (Or Granny & Grandpa’s for that matter…)

There was chalk to draw with, and boats to watch on the pond and balls to roll around on…the boys slept *good* that night. 🙂

The next morning, we hung around the house for a while. Larry read the boys a story…

and then we went to yet another party, where they climbed and jumped and ate a ton of cake.

After the party, we headed home, exhausted. And the boys woke up this morning, asking, “we go to a happy birthday party today?”

Melt!
