Not this weekend! We shook things up big time! (okay, not so big but hey...we did something for the first time which I always enjoy)
Before Kindermusik on Saturday, we went to a local patch and took some pictures with one of my co-workers who does photography on the side. Look for a future post on that... On the way back from Kindermusik, we met up with Brittany and the boys at a park and then Peter joined us when he was done working out. I put Max in the swing and he not only liked it... he LOVED it.
That night there was a serious storm that came blowing in. Peter and I stood out on our patio and watched the lightening. It was crazy! Here's a short 25 seconds of video just to show you how much lightening activity was going on. We didn't heard too much thunder. Crazy Texas storms!
It reminded me of the storm that happened on my birthday. Thank goodness we were further away and there were no tornado warnings/watches on this one.
The next day was gorgeous and so we decided to spent some time outside.
A staple for Max's breakfast - some organic, whole wheat bread.
Pros - Easy, healthy, doesn't ever choke on it. Cons - lots of crumbs.
Max still has his "outie" bellybutton.
Shoving it in.
We decided to check out Third Monday Trade Days in McKinney on Sunday afternoon. This is like a big swap meet/garage sale/fair-ish type thing that we had never been do. Of course I didn't quite understand what it was going to be like until we got there.
Max briefly wearing his sunglasses.
I had heard that Trade Days was a good place to go to find lots of animals that Max could pet and after he enjoyed the pet store (but did zero petting), I wanted him to be able to pet animals. It was a hot sunny day and this place was huge. It had a definite swap meet feel. It was stall after stall after stall of either someones old crap or cheap trinkets/crafts/etc. Think about a garage sale meets a craft fair meets the booths from the fair. Then there was also the food which was similar to fair food = fried and a little scary.
I wanted to find either some decorations for the house or something for Max. Peter wanted to just be done. He doesn't like walking and walking and looking and looking. He's not a fan of doing new things (sometimes they are a bust and sometimes they are winners but he'd rather just avoid them regardless). That combined with the walking meant that I had to have the positive attitude/excitement about what we were doing for the two of us.
Well then, Max was fussy...
Max was fussy because he didn't like being directly in the sun. I love our stroller for many reasons but one of the very few issues I have is the sun shade. It is inadequate and mostly useless. Max really prefers his face being shaded but didn't want to wear a hat or sunglasses.
We didn't find any animals to pet. In fact the only animals we found were donkeys that kids could ride (Max is too little) or smelly chickens that you could buy. The #1 reason we went was a total bust. We did buy a big bag of honey popcorn that was sort of like kettle corn. That was it.
Here's Peter putting the BRAND NEW cool top on the water bottle that turns it into a sippy cup top for Max.
I was really excited to use it. Max liked it too. Until he dropped it somewhere while we were walking and I didn't notice. So then it was gone forever and the day was ruined. It was a silly $3.00 top but I was so bummed that I had lost it, and Peter was giving me a hard time about losing it, that my fire was fully quenched and I was ready to just be done. I don't think we'll be back.
So tired that the cheerios are piling up around his neck and he doesn't even care.
Oh well, I still like to try new things. Maybe the next one will be a winner??
