The Best Weekend!

August 6th - 8th, 2010
With Daddy working in Watkins Glen for the NASCAR race, Grammy and Poppie graciously moved in for the weekend to help us out...and boy did we have a fun time together!  Friday night we enjoyed going out for ice cream and running some errands while Poppie tucked William in early.  Saturday, the boys snacked on some Doritos...yes, even William clenched on to a chip.

We took Poppie out for a round of mini golf for his belated Father's Day gift. 

(We all let him win as part of his present too.) 

William did remarkably well staying content in  his stroller through half of the game.  He loved watching all the water features at the course.

Out of the blue, Nicholas impressed us all with his putting skills! He legitimately got a few holes of near-pars!

Of course, his favorite hole was this water hazard.  He'd purposely putt his ball in it, only to have to fish it out.

 

William has not been this interested in food in months!

 

Sunday morning, the crew surprised me with breakfast in bed!  Not only did Grammy insist on waking with William throughout the nights and in the mornings, I got to sleep in AND eat in bed! 

Nicholas was so cute.  He kept repeating, "Happy early valentine birthday, Mommy!"

Tonight when I go to sleep in my bed with scattered sugar crystals, smelling of sticky Nicholas fingers soaked in syrup and spilled orange juice, I will forever cherish this weekend.  We had such a nice time, the kids seemed to enjoy all the time with their grandparents and I got a whole lot of pampering.  I just hope Grammy and Poppie recover from this one! 

Thanks Grammy and Poppie (aka Beep, Beep)....we love you!
