Labor Day couldn't have come sooner,
Aiden had a fabulous first week at school, so while we were playing around Friday afternoon trying to get out of town I took him to Kohl's for new pjs, more big boy underwear and a toy.
While walking into the store from the parking lot, a car paused and waited for us to cross to the sidewalk. When the car stopped, Aiden put out his hand, raised his voice real big and said, "YOU STOP! Wait your turn! DON'T HIT ME!" Of course the driver's window was open and she replied very meekly to assertive Aiden, "Don't worry I won't hit you!" Funny little guy.
Inside the store, I let Aiden pick two pairs of pjs and two packs of underwear -- he was excited about the Elmo pjs so much that he grabbed the first pair of Elmo underwear he saw -- they were pink. Normally, I would take the stance, eh, if it's what he wants...but really, there's kind of an important difference in boy/girl underpants so he had to put them back and settle for choo-choos and SpongeBobs.
Back in the car Aiden practiced his photography --
This pose is Aiden's favorite. He requests all models use this for photos.
Since we still had a little time to kill we had to stop for a snack too...
When we finally got to the lake, I got to help Maria make a HUGE pot of spaghetti sauce for Italian Night - since I begged to have it and then it got re-scheduled just for me. So I helped with the sauce, the beef and the sausage. MMMMMMMM!
Since there is officially no water left in the lake, we spent the day Saturday playing Slip N Slide.
While it may look like Aiden is having the most fun ever, I can assure you that I had even more fun than him.
A swift twist of fate put me back in Denver late Saturday night, but I needed the rest and when I was done working on Sunday I got to catch up on a quick couple things around the house that I have been dying to do.
Like take the cat for a walk...
I took Kane to the pet store wiht me to get food, and while walking around with the horse of a dog that he is (knocking over displays left and right) I was asking for help finding a cat harness and leash. You can't really tell but Dexter's harness is fiercely striped like a zebra and his leash is pink.
He LOVED going outside, sniffed everything, talked a lot and purred in the grass.
I also got to catch up with the girls in the evening.
Of course we had out margaritas before we painted our nails....
This is my "I'm at the top of the bathroom" spot
careful, don't spill that!
Jo, who came ot spend some extra time with Katie before she moves, was a very good sport and made an excellent cabana boy when drinks ran low.
Things got a little silly.
After a good night's sleep, Kelly and I made our Clinique Bonus Days trip on Monday and then an impromptu trip to Taste Of Colorado for lunch.
Once Aiden was back in town, he was right back to taking pictures...
I even managed to finish an IKEA project - but don't get me started on the damn shelf in the living room
Finally settled and ready for Fall.
