It’s 7am Monday morning and I am not going
to work. Sweet :)

We had a great
weekend. On Saturday we went to a friend’s birthday party. She
had lots of family there and many kids. Lex got his first
experience with a great summer pastime – running through the
sprinkler. He liked it, for the most part. The kids were all a
bit older, so it was neat to watch him interact. They all
headed for the sandbox as well and Lex joined right in. He made
it for a whole 20 minutes before eating the sand (and thereby
ending that activity). Sadly, I didn’t get any pictures. He was
super cute in the sprinkler. All the kids had their bathing
suits on, but Lex was in his t-shirt and jean shorts (we didn’t
think to bring a bathing suit).

On Sunday Alan’s parents came
to visit. His mom’s birthday was last Friday. Hope everyone
said Happy Birthday! :) We went to the Montshire and played in
their outdoor water exhibit. Lex loved it even though he didn’t
get the full experience. Several parts require a swim diaper
and we didn’t have one (and didn’t feel like buying one from
the gift shop). Since we have a membership (thanks G’s!!) we
can go back and swim as often as we’d like. Yay!

Today is the first day of my new life. I think
we will go to the story time at the local library and then head
back to work (yeah, I know) to walk with my co-worker. She is 9
months pregnant and due next week, so I was thinking of walking
with her this week and next until the baby comes. Then she’ll
be home too. I have to see if I can just meet her in the
parking lot and avoid the rest of the office.

I’m off now to wake up the hubby and play with
the baby. Lex is currently filling my lap with toys, which is
making it harder and harder to type :)
