Boys' Weekend

This weekend, Laura and the girls headed out to Chicago to visit Aunt Karen....leaving the boys at home! Now, due to Peter's recent interest in Esther's Barbies, a weekend full of testosterone was definitely in order. Following is brief run down of the weekend.

Friday:

Mommy and the girls left and Peter went to spend the day with Aunt Erin and his pal Anna while Daddy was at work. Now, this was not quite the "girl-free" day Daddy felt Peter needed....but, when Daddy saw how Peter had Anna giving him hugs and kisses, he knew Peter was headed down the right track.

Saturday:

We started our day out at Marge's Donut Den for some nutrition for our morning. Who needs healthy oatmeal when a large chocolate sprinkled donut will give you the sugar high you need to get going? We then headed out to Grandma and Grandpa K's house so that Grandpa and Daddy could replace the rotors on Daddy's car. Peter found this interesting for about 2 minutes, but at least it kept him away from dolls.

Peter fell asleep on the way home and proceeded to take a 3 hour nap (apparently Aunt Erin and Anna tired him out the day before). Daddy proceeded to take a nap as well (this is what guys should do on a weekend) and mowed the lawn. We met Grandpa W at Russ' for dinner and shared a strawberry shake (the strawberries in the shake were in order to say I had given Peter at least 1 fruit during the day).

The 3 hour nap appeared to leave Peter with plenty of extra energy, so he and I headed over to the mall after dinner so he could play in the play area for a while. To prove to all that as men we lived on the edge, Peter played in the play area in bare feet AND we did not use any Purell to wash his hands when we were done playing. (Of course, if he comes down with a cold or the flu in the next few days, it will now be my fault.)

Sunday:

We visited Brookside church so Daddy could hear a friend of his preach. The bonus of this was that Aunt Erin and Uncle Jeff were on nursery duty for the day....Peter didn't even say goodbye to me when he saw them.

After a nice dinner at Grandma and Grandpa K's, and a quiet afternoon at home, we headed out to Holland State Park with some friends. Unfortunately, after an hour it began to rain, but a good time was still had by all.
