Another Weekend Down!

Another weekend passed us.... WHEW! They fly by these days! We started the weekend off right with our traditional "Dunkin Donuts Friday Treat!" Stryker loves to order his Chocolate with Sprinkles donut and I love to start the morning off with a French Vanilla Latte!

Friday night we enjoyed an Adult's Night Out with some of our very good friends while Stryker kept Grandma on her toes! It's always nice to have a date night (or double night, in this case) with Dan and friends!

Saturday we helped The Alexander's move (which took the entire day!) and Stryker was a good sport about it. He helped where he could and loved to be right near the big boys watching them carry the heavy stuff or put together the beds. We found him tuckered out downstairs on their couch mid-afternoon. Guess he was tired from all the moving too! We joined Mike, Tiffany & Miss McKinley for dinner at La Hacienda later on that evening. Stryker enjoyed taking pictures of McKinley from across the table while she snacked. She'd give him a smile or two and would laugh at his silliness! He's so good with babies!

After dinner, we headed back to their new place for a few cold beers on their patio overlooking the golf course. We were all so tired from the move, we decided to retreat back to our own patio for the remainder of the evening. We put Stryker to bed and Dan played on his Mac while I read on my Fire.



We kept tradition alive once again this weekend and got up early Sunday for our running and then hit the beach! We invited Stryker's BFF, Jarrett, with us so the boys could play. The day started off a bit overcast, but before the long the sun was shining and the kiddos were having a blast!

We played on the beach for four hours then packed up to head home. Stryker was starting meltdown mode, so it's a good thing we did. We weren't in the car 10 minutes and both the boys were dead asleep in the backseat. SUCCESS!

That evening, after a quick nap and a yummy dinner, Dan decided to start our living room & foyer renovations. He started moving all the furniture and I snapped a couple before pics (popcorn ceilings, not-so-white-anymore carpet, khaki walls, white small trim):

Sunday, 8 pm

With all the moving, Stryker & I decided it would be best to stay out of Daddy's way. We headed outside to play & be silly!

After a bath and a story, Stryker went to bed and I wasn't far behind him. I left Dan scrapping ceilings in the bare living room. I was excited to see what the next day would bring!

Hard work!
