Husband's
Lot's and lot's of fun this weekend, as well of lot's and lot's of busyness. Truth is, I'm exhausted and feel like I haven't had a weekend, but then I look at all the fun things that did happen this week and...
#1 - The gift of kissing moobies - Little Son has itsy-bitsy man boobies right now, and they are uber-ticklish. Any time I change his clothes, I love to hear his giggles.
#2 - The gift of new food combinations - Big Son got spoiled by Grandpa this weekend (taken for a swim, changing a tire, putting the "naughty" tire in "time out," getting donuts). Maybe the best was a bag of Peanut Butter M&M's. But Son #1 took it one step further, at lunch he dipped the M&M's into the cheese sauce. Nice!
#3 - The gift of new shoes and socks - I'm super hard on my shoes. My work shoes have gone through snow piles, tennis practice, soccer at recess, standing all day long, and more. So, they have no sole. Plus, I wear holes in all my socks. New shoes feel so comfy, like a pillow. Thanks for forcing it on me, Wife!
#4 - The gift of made up songs - Son #1 was in a silly mood this morning when he heard me singing to Little Bro while changing a stanky dipes. I was singing "Beautiful One" which has the line "Beautiful One, I love You" in it. As we jumped into the van to run an errand, Big Son looked at the Blueberry NutriGrain bar in his hand and sang, "Breakfast bar, I want you."
#5 - The gift of grandpa - My Darling said it best yesterday, but it is awesome to spend time with Grandpa (the Grand Poopa!) Talking basketball, being equally excited and then upset about the Princeton-Harvard game, and remembering all the fun you've had with us grand kids was great!
#6 - The gift of honesty - This weekend, my Lovely Bride, I've had several great conversations with you. Whether over the weekends plans, our relationship, or looking at new houses, I value the fact that I can speak my mind to you. I love you!
I totally know what you mean when you say weekends can be so busy that they don't feel like one! But when you look back, you remember all the sweet moments that you had.
ReplyDeleteHere's my list of gifts from our whirlwind weekend:
1) The gift of music--we went to two concerts this weekend....both sold out shows! Friday was Girl Talk (think DANCE for two hours straight...or my workout for the next three months), and Saturday was String Cheese Incident (bluegrass meets electronic hippie jams). Even better than music? Seeing the joy it brings to my husband.
2) The gift of getting to know like minded strangers. Dancing next to a fifty year old dad who loves music, camping, and Colorado just as much as we do brought great conversation to our evening.
3) The gift of learning a craft as a couple. This weekend, we brewed our third batch of beer, this time a Maple Wheat. I can hardly wait to see how it turned out! The hardest part is waiting the weeks until it is ready.
4) The gift of friendship...not only am I grateful for this in my marriage, but also am extremely blessed with joyful friends to journey through life with us. This weekend we shared a delicious dinner of burgers, watched two of our friends run a 6k, tailgated in a freezing cold parking lot, and shared many moments of laughter and connectedness.
5) As much as we love our friends, music, and the great outdoors, we do love the quiet evenings at home, cuddling on the couch watching good T.V. shows. We recently finished up season four of Friday Night Lights (highly recommended!!!!). We are eagerly waiting season five, which comes out in April. And for me, I'll be taking in the Bachelor finale tonight with two of my best girl friends. Simple evenings are sometimes the best!
The one thing that is lacking in all of these pleasures...my family!
Love you all!
