Fun Friday: The Daddy Edition

Aaaaaaaaaand, again I have no pictures. Sorry!

Chris' boss ordered him to take Friday off, and they compromised by Chris taking a half day off.

So, the Boy had a play date in the morning with a very cool girl and her hilarious 16 month old son Jack (he reminds me of Jack-Jack from the Incredibles, if you've ever seen that movie). We played and ate muffins and talked and laughed and danced some--it was really fun. I was expecting it to be a bit strange since I don't know the very cool girl well (having just moved here and all) but it was surprisingly easy. We chatted books, Jane Austen, movies, Masterpiece Theater, music and the boys. The Boys played and toddled and laughed and cracked us up. Great fun!

(I feel a little bad. She hadn't seen Becoming Jane and so I sent her home with it and she sent me an email to say: Dude! SO SAD!!! And now I feel bad that Ididn't warn her that the end is really SAD. And that I love a sad movie so if I recommend something, it's generally SAD.)

Anyway.

Chris came home from work while the Boy was crashed out and once he woke up we drove out to St. Simon's Island for amazing sushi for lunch.

(No. We did not feed our child sushi. We gave him fried tofu and some rice and he loved it. Thankyouforasking.)

After sushi we drove around the island a bit, went by the hospital to visit people, came home and played for a while before giving the Boy dinner and a bath and a book and crib sweet crib. My favorite part was how the Boy could NOT get enough of his daddy and how Chris was so happy to oblige him.

The fun continued on Saturday. We toyed with the idea of the sea turtle center on Jekyll island but in the end we just went to the pool to swim and hang out for a while, we had some lunch, we had naps, and then we drove out to Jessup, GA to go to this furniture store that Chris had heard good things about. It was huge! They had some really nice furniture. None of which was purchased by us. But it was fun to look and get an idea of what we like and don't like and what we're going to have to compromise on.

And the result of the long weekend? The Boy is so FAR off his schedule he can't even SEE it anymore. But we've had a ton of fun just getting to hang out together and watch the Boy and laugh at his antics. We thank the powers that be for lovely, long weekends!
