Weekend Update

Hello friends. I hope this Sunday evening post finds you all either very happy or asleep. I know that is where I want to be. Asleep. Soon enough...but I must make record of our lovely weekend in a photo recap. Please enjoy as I know that we did.

This was actually taken a week ago at my dad's house. I just loved it enough to post here.
TO's pancake breakfast. OJ has learned about the camera and to pose and "cheese". He's getting good. At least he's not whining or crying for at least TEN seconds.

Underwear man gets a bike for his birthday.

TO takes a cake to school on Wednesday for his actual birthday celebration. He loved this Wal-Mart cake so much, we got a Wal-Mart cake for the actual party on Saturday.

To and Till doing some weird tribal underwear dance before bed Wednesday night. The run in place and jump and....maybe they grunt? I don't ask.

On Saturday, we had TO's party at a putt putt / bumper boat / game room facility. OJ found joy in the skeeballs. He'd roll them up....and then put his hands out and wait for their return. REPEAT.

Part of the birthday clan - my dad, Till, OJ with my mom in the background, my brother's body, my sister leaning in for the photo, Hubs, and then TO and two friends on the right side of the table.

When it came time for putt putt, the kids went one way and the adults who didn't birth any of the children went another...with the exception of Till. He was allowed to play with my sister, brother, dad, friend and her boyfriend.

The kid group posing after their 18 holes.

Bumper boats rules forced the children to have to ride with someone. That made it easier on our pocketbook! My dad rode with my sister, my mom took TO and OJ (he's too little to actually see), my brother took TO's male friend while Till took TO's female friend. They had a blast on the boats!

TO received a Bubble Rocket as a gift and it was promptly opened when we arrived home. While the back patio was used for a game of PIG (see my brother shooting in the background?), TO and OJ played around with the Rocket.

My brother thought he could dunk. On a short goal. My dad and sister also dunked. On the short goal. I did not attempt and Hubs of course is banned from any type of physical activity.

I did, however participate in PIG and then in a little two on two. My sister and I took on my dad and brother in a friendly game of pretend guarding basketball. One time, I decided to actually try and stop my brother's move to the goal. Bad move. He crashed into me. I called charge on him, the rest of the family called block on ME. Either way, I yelled out through my laughing, "I DON'T MOVE THAT FAST!!" I ended up on my arse with my entire right calf scraped. This is my leg. It hurts. Still.

Sunday resulted in a short power outage so we took the kids for a drive to downtown and back. OJ was nearly asleep in this photo, but then again....he always looks like that.

Sunday left us with a tiny bit of cake left over and dinner sans tee shirts. We officially put OJ's highchair away and he'll now sit boosted for a bit at the table. Here he is on his cushy chair at the table. He thought this was a GREAT thing. Do you like our placemats? Chiefs / Raiders. We had a rivalry wedding shower and received these as gifts. They work wonderfully for the kids. Happy Sunday.
