working for the weekend.

you know how some people say they live to work?  ok, i don't actually know anyone that says that but i have heard it on movies before.  i am the exact opposite - i work to live.  or something like that.  really i am always looking forward to the weekend.  as soon as monday begins i am counting down to friday when i can spend all my time with my loves.  around here we like our weekends low-key and we like to them to move as slow as possible.  doesn't happen all that often but no matter what we are doing i just love spending my whole day with my men.

last weekend we went to sweet serenades.  this is first friends' annual fundraiser and this is where colin goes to school everyday so we were super excited to support everyone there. all of the classes (2 year olds and up) performed a ton of songs and it was so cute.  colin is in the toddler 3 class which is right below the 2 year old class so he sat this one out but next year he will definitely be up on that stage.  i can't wait to see him up there singing!  instead, he and his friend from school literally ran the entire gym for a good 2 hours during all of the singing and silent auction fun.  all of the classes donate items for theme baskets that are auctioned off.  thanks to grammie & pappy we came home with the rainy day basket (that colin's class put together).

so cute, right?  our local weather man is calling for a rainy saturday this weekend so we will definitely be getting some use out of this fun box.  colin already starting tearing through it last weekend but there are enough fun toys/games in there to keep him occupied for hours.

one weekend tradition i love is eating breakfast together.  during the week we definitely do not have an opportunity to do this. i leave the house when luke wakes up (if i am not running late) and way before colin is up for the day.  last weekend, my handsome hubby made a big old pancake breakfast that me and colin were both talking about all day long on saturday, ha!  but really, it was so good and it was so nice to sit on the couch drinking coffee while my love was cooking for us!

keeping it real here folks.  lucky for us we have a huge table so our laundry can reside on one half and we can use the other for meals.  i don't know why all 2-story houses don't have laundry rooms upstairs.

so sweet.  colin loves syrup (shocker, right?) and he wants to do it himself of course. 

mmm. momma's plate and momma's coppee as colin says.  he is always so concerned making sure i drink all of my coffee.  guess he knows how grumpy i can be without it.

the weather has been so nice lately so we have been outside as much as possible.  another favorite pasttime around here is playing with bubbles.  it's crazy but one year ago (heck, even a couple months ago) there is no way my little boy could blow bubbles on his own and now he is semi-pro.  he is growing up so fast.

on the weekends the ice cream truck drives down our street at least 2 or 3 times a day.  luke is the one who always takes colin out to get ice cream.  i am the one telling him it will make his tummy sick.  guess who is the more fun parent on that one?  the little man especially enjoyed his spiderman (our newest obsession around here) ice cream last weekend - he and uncle scot both got one. 

i wish i was better about taking pictures but honestly half the time i forget (read: i am too lazy) to get out the camera.  i am going to try and be better about it.  time is moving way too fast for me.  before i know it my sweet boy will be all grown up.  i am always reminding myself to enjoy the 'now' with both of my guys.  there is always time to worry about tomorrow, right?  here's to another weekend with my little family - i've been counting down all week.
