Weekend Wrapup

Where to begin with such a glorious, no-rain, sunny and warm weekend? I suppose with the bad stuff. Let's get er out of the way. My boys had mandatory BASEBALL SAFETY 101- the crash course. We learned why a two year old cannot run behind a boy swinging a bat. And then we learned why a boy swinging a bat needs to be aware of his surroundings at all times. (That you can't just yell "look out" and wash your hands of all responsibility). We learned all about what a broken nose means, with drawings from Dr. Born and that we should know in about 10 days if indeed we have a broken nose at the ripe old age of two. And lastly we learned that we have a fantastic quick care facility not too far away when the occasion rises again.

Between the nose and the eczema on the chin-my poor kid is in bad shape.

Saturday brought us more beauty with our local town festival. The day began with me beating the pants off my husband in the 10k race. (Ok, it wasn't literal and sorry honey, had to gloat). Then ensued the town parade which was at times was so hysterical I couldn't even write about it with any justice. All I can say is that the Vets (meaning veterinarian) with their Medieval Mayhem was strangest, funniest thing I think I've ever seen. You have not seen animals on parade like this before. The festival brought lots of art, good music, crafts, etc. And in the Group One division of the watermelon eating contest...it brought my middle man- the winner! He told us for weeks how he was going to win that. Take note here folks- you can think yourself into winning, try it!


And lastly Sunday, Father's Day. Lovely breakfast, lunch at the lake, hiking into the lush trees, feeling what 70 degrees feels like. Ahhh. Followed by Mass and a barbecue- doesn't get much better than that. I hope yours was a good one, too!

I just couldn't imagine getting into that ice lake-somehow all three kids did (for a minute!)
