Labor Day weekend

Nothing too exciting happened this weekend, but it was good nonetheless. I was able to get off work at 3:00 on Friday, which is always a nice favor of my boss on holiday weekends. It allowed me to get a good workout in at the gym (running again!), and then get home to see my boys for a little while before Skip went to work. He was Mr. Work-a-ton this weekend, so the few times I saw him we were like two shits in the wind... Anyways, I got home and started getting ready to go out to dinner while Skip fed Preston his (first) dinner. Kathryn was swinging through Milwaukee on her way up to West Bend with her friend Kathy, so Preston and I were able to meet up with them for dinner at P.F. Changs. We had a really nice visit, and Preston was a champ at the restaurant (as always!). He was a little whiney, since I think he's got the combination of a tooth coming through plus a little cold, but overall he was great. He had his (second) dinner of mushrooms, broccoli and chicken at the restaurant. The child can eat, my lord! It was also so great to visit with my good friend and roommate :)

We came home after dinner and I got Preston down, only to end up bringing him in with me later on at night for a little while. He definitely didn't sleep well this weekend. When Skip got home from work, I looked down at Preston and I totally had to do a double-take to make sure the boy was breathing, he was sleeping so hard. I put him back in his own bed, then went back to sleep myself.

Saturday we ran some errands in the morning and early afternoon, then waited for Skip to be done being on-call at Meda-Care so we could go over to Sarah and Andy's to visit. We hung out over there for a little while, then went with all the Cunninghams to Botanas to celebrate Shay and Sarah's birthday. We had a really good time at the restaurant, and had fun singing to Sarah and Shay while they got whipped cream smudged on their noses. It was pretty funny :). We got home and went to bed, and once again my poor little guy was not sleeping well. He was up about 4 times...ugh... with me and Skip (sort of) taking turns getting him calmed down, before he just ended up in with us around 5:30. I was pretty exhausted when he decided around 7 that he wanted to be up for good.

I just lounged and played with Preston in the morning until he went down for his nap, at which time I did, too. Just a short "recharging." Preston and Skip got up around the same time, then I went out for a little walk to clear my head before getting ready for Quinny and Kim's wedding. Skip stayed home with Cranky McCrankster, then had to work at 7, so I flew solo to this wedding. Sarah came over and watched Preston when Skip had to leave for work, so that was a huge help. The wedding was beautiful, and the reception/dinner was really fun. It's always great to catch up with the Meda-Care folk. I left after dinner, then came home and helped Sarah brainstorm the pocket square project she decided to take on. After a couple big glasses of wine, we decided to postpone the project until the next day...

Monday was another low-key day, with a trip to JoAnn Fabrics and Macy's with Sarah, then back to her place to finish the pocket squares. My mom said everyone planning a wedding always has to have a last-minute project, which makes it official (ours was stuffing ornament boxes...). We managed to get the squares done while P-man took a nice nap on "Uncle" Andy and "Aunt" Sarah's bed. We told Andy he should be jealous because another man was sleeping in his bed ;). Preston and I went home, had dinner, then ran down to Sinai and Meda-Care to see Skip and drop off time cards.

I look forward to this week and weekend for a couple of reasons: #1, obviously, is Sarah and Andy's wedding and all related festivities. I'm über pumped. #2 is that I actually get to see my husband for more than 3 minutes at a time (awake). His work schedule was bordering on insane this past weekend through tomorrow, so I look forward to him having some time off. I'm sure he does, too! It will really be nice to get some awesome family and friends time in over the next week!
