Exhausted...

Last night after supper, I was absolutely exhausted from the weekend. Between gardening, anniversary party, birthday party, spending so much time outside, & constantly getting Jason out of things- I was beat. I attempted to post some pictures from the weekend, but our Internet was acting up & I did not have the patience to deal with it. What I should have done was gone straight to bed because I was so tired. Instead I watched 'Sweet Home Alabama' for probably the third time & read my book (Harry Potter & the Half-Blood Prince). By the time the movie was over I had gotten a second wind & then couldn't put my book down. Thankfully Jason did not choose last night to be up through the night.

Here are some pictures as a snapshot of our weekend.

Saturday Morning

We finished up our gardening with Sydney's help.
Do you like her Dora gardening gloves?

Saturday Afternoon

We headed up to Listowel for Uncle Jack & Aunt Susan's 30th anniversary party.

Jason was entertained for the first half hour by Nana's beer bottle.

Once the beer bottle lost his interest he started to scoot around & eventually got himself pulled up on the lawn chair. He is not a master at getting himself up yet, but he is expanding his use of levels to figure it out. The one he seems to like best is the bath tub. As much as I want him to be able to pull himself up, the bath tub is not a place I want him to master.

Sydney on the other hand, was content to play with Hayleigh & Emily for the afternoon.

Saturday Evening
After supper we put the kids in their p.j.'s & headed home. It took about 20 minutes to get them to settle & quit fooling around in the back. It is cute to hear them playing in the back together now, but now when we really want Jason to sleep. Sydney was repeatedly asked to leave her brother alone so that he would go to sleep. Thankfully he did fall asleep about halfway home, but as expected Sydney was up for the whole drive. Thankfully she went to bed pretty good once we got home & Jason transferred to his crib with little problem.

Sunday Morning

Went to a belated birthday party for Sydney's friend Emma. Kate's Cinderella cake was much more professional than the Cinderella cake that Brad & I made for Sydney on her birthday.

After cake, Sydney, Emma & Alina were all ready to go swimming.

Jason too had to get into the action. Looks like another water baby.

Sunday Afternoon

We arrived home from the party with two overtired children to find Logan in the living room. When we go out we put Logan in the basement & put the gate up. This week she had jumped the gate a couple of times this week, so Brad had put the chair in front. However, she still managed to get upstairs. I am so afraid that one of these days we are going to come home & find her lying at the bottom of the stairs with a broken leg (or worse).
