Kickin' back

It's been a good weekend. Friday, I was in with 6th grade, as usual. And they were their usual selves--entertaining, but a bunch of whining drama queens. There was some drama with a group of kids over something stupid. They wanted me to help, but they ended up talking some, and later were chasing each other around at recess. Drama over. For now. Later, we went to a get together with church friends. It's always nice to get out, and have grown up conversation, while all the kiddos play at one of the mom's houses.

Yesterday, Mason and I went to Target in the morning, which is always an expense, but a good time. In the afternoon, we went to a birthday party for Mason's little girlfriend, who was turning 1. It was a bit crazy, because the house and backyard were full of people. Mason had a good time though, since there were tons of kids, ranging from his age to schoolage to chase around and watch. It sure wore him out, though. He crashed when we got home. Last night, we watched "Chicken Little", which was cute. It's just too bad it take us like 3 hours to watch a Disney movie. Mason decided that it would be a fun time to scream like he was being beaten with a spiked paddle, every time we tried to ignore him and watch the movie. Eventually, my husband just paused it and entertained our Howler Monkey on the floor until he went to bed.

This morning, we played hookie from church and went to Denny's for breakfast. We don't ever go out to breakfast, so it was nice. Mason enjoyed himself too, not eating the food, but seeing how far he could pitch pancakes, french toast, sausage and his little finger foods. We were just waiting for the lucky toss that landed a chunk of sausage into someone's drink. Luckily it never happened.

He's down for his nap (which he mostly only takes one a day now, by the way), but I think later we'll go to the mall. Daddy's birthday is a month away, and we need to do some shopping. I know the day will be over and I'll be at work again, but at least it was a pleasant weekend.
