Memorial Day weekend was good to us. Mostly. No class on Monday meant no homework Saturday for Jessie, which meant three dull days of together time. Way more than we knew what to do with, but somehow we managed to get through it without killing each other. We paid for our fun Tuesday with sunburns and a sick baby, but things are getting back to normal now. Meaning Jessie is busy as a bee, if bees did marketing instead of making honey, and Madeline and I are lazy as a hibernating bear, if hibernating bears did laundry, dishes, and watched Sesame Street instead of sleeping. Instead of a blow by blow of the weekend, here are my favorite highlights:
-Madeline got a new stroller. I decided she needed a cheap portable one for vacations and summer fun. I was a good girl and got the generic one instead of the pink one, so that future male Warners can also ride in it without bringing shame upon their masculinity (provided Madeline doesn't break it first.) It's still pretty adorable, and it has elephants on it, which my sister will appreciate.
-Since Madeline got a new stroller for summer adventuring, we bought Jessie new sandals. And empanada shells. Those weren't really related to the sandals or summer adventuring, but we went all the way to Provo to get them, and they made Jessie happy. Argentine food usually does that.
-We played pinochle at the park with family. I love pinochle. Madeline loved the park. And we had Cafe Rio for lunch whilst at the park, making it the perfect outing.
-We taught nursery for the third straight week. People are starting to think it's our calling. I like nursery because Madeline behaves splendidly and can be as loud as she wants. Also, because there are snacks in nursery.
-We watched the entire Back to the Future trilogy. We've been meaning to do it for the past three weeks and finally had the time. It made me want a hover board and hydrating pizza. Seriously, can you believe that thirty years ago they thought we'd have flying cars and control over the weather by now? Crazy eighties people.
-We set up a tent in our front room and had a completely rain-free campout, complete with microwave smores. And then slept in our comfy bed instead of on a lumpy air mattress or in sleeping bags. Booyah. I love camping. Madeline liked it too. I thought she might hyperventilate from excitement and joy at such a awesomely fun event in our own front room. We are the best parents ever. I'm going to remind Madeline of this when she's sixteen and says I never let her do anything.
Well, there you have it. Best weekend ever. Now back to the real world where we have to eat our microwave smores on the couch instead of in a tent. Reality is so harsh.
