A long but productive weekend!

Well, all in all I think we had a great weekend. Friday night we went out for supper in Hutch with R's boss and family. We had a great time.

Saturday morning J and I got up and around and headed for Hutch. J had to have his 6 month shots. (boo hoo) He did great! He cried when they poked him, but as soon as I picked him up, he was fine. We continued shopping at Dillons and then Wal Mart. I used his "big boy" car seat for the first time. He was getting way too big for the carrier style. That meant that I had to put him sitting up in the shopping cart. He did great at that too, just tended to lean quite a bit. By the time we got part way through Wal Mart he was soooo sleepy. I cleared out the basket, laid his blanket down, and he slept in the shopping basket. It was so sweet! But guess what? You cannot fit much into the seat section of a shopping cart! Good for you, J, you kept mommy from over spending! After that, we grabbed some burgers to bring home for me and R, and home we went. That afternoon, R and I did some work on raking up and bagging the leaves off the yard. (ok, it was mostly R, but I worked on it as long as J slept!) R worked on the VW and got it running again. YAY!!!

Sunday I started off my morning trying my hand at making homemade baby food. It was pretty easy. I got a batch of green acorn squash, one of butternut squash, and one of green beans done. Sunday afternoon, J and I headed back to Hutch AGAIN for my Great Aunt T's 90th birthday party! It was fabulously fun, and J charmed everyone, as usual. By the time we got home we were both exhausted. R had been working at home too, doing laundry and all sorts of things. So as J slept, we put in a movie, and soon it ended up being a family nap. It was nice.

R was off to bed early Sunday night, and gone before I woke up this morning. He is running like crazy this week Mon.-Wed. (by running, of course, I mean driving his Semi!) so that he can have Thanksgiving, Friday, and the weekend off. Can you imagine us both having four days off at the same time? It will either be wonderful, or we will be throwing heavy objects at each other by Saturday. We'll have to wait and see.
