So Much Going On

We had a busy weekend, even though Dad didn't have to work at the bar on Saturday night. He made up for it by putting the finishing touches on his book and getting it shipped off to the online store -- and he already has a sale!

Friday evening was spent at home quietly, since we had such a busy week. Little Monster had her bath and was in bed before Jeopardy! started, but that was so she could save up for the weekend adventures. Before we went to bed, though, we did get a chance to chomp on a bag of lettuce and play with the gift Nona sent us in the mail.

On Saturday, Little Monster visited the Atlanta Downhill Challenge and watched all the crazy people race their soap box derby cars down the hills at the drive-in at breakneck speeds! We saw Ned and Theron and Melissa there. Wee Goblin saw some very cute puppies and made a few new friends, too. She also saw a band she and Mom liked called Here Come the Mummies, but by the time the Mummies performed their set, Miss Fuss was ready to head home for the day. But she did get to wave at the mummy procession as they made their way, marching-band-style, to the stage. It was cold, and Wee Goblin had been out for hours, so Mom and Dad decided not to argue with her. When we got home Little Monster ate one thousand spoonfuls of squash and applesauce, and even dove headfirst into the jar to gobble up what was left.

On Sunday, we got up early for breakfast and to run some errands before friends came to dinner. We went to Target to pick up some photo prints (keep your eyes open, grandparents) and to visit the grocery store so Dad could pick up stuff for stew this evening. Then we made a brief stop at Five Guys, where the hamburgers were bigger than Mom and Dad counted on, and Little Monster hung around in her car seat being cute and doling out the smiles sparingly.

This evening we will see Eric and Nicole and Joddie, but we also have to take a bath after our weekend of fun activities, so we can start our week fresh and clean.
