Helluva Weekend

Hey y'all -

This weekend we...

- Woke up at the crack of dawn on Saturday to clean the house.
- Evacuated the house so a realtor could show it.
- Drove Dad to the airport so he could get some flight time in.
- Went to McDonald's so Laney could play on the playground and Hagen could eat the Deluxe Breakfast Platter.
- Went to the park downtown so Laney could play on the playground and Hagen could sleep off the pancakes.
- Watched Laney ride the carousel, but this time, she only wanted to sit on the bench and not on a horse. Are you sure? Yes, I'm sure. Are you sure? Yes, I'm sure.
- Picked Dad up at the airport.
- Went to the Cracker Barrel so Laney could color her menu and Hagen could eat the mac n' cheese platter.
- Dropped Dad and Hagen off at Grandma Sue's to sleep off the macaroni. Carb coma x 2.
- Said goodbye to the boys and Laney and Mom went swimming at the indoor water park. Laney slipped and conked her head on the concrete pool deck.
- Gave Laney a dozen "Look at my finger" tests to be sure she didn't have a concussion.
- Got the family dressed and back together.
- Went to Finley's first birthday party. When asked for birthday present suggestions, Finley's dad said, "Well, he likes Scotch, but who doesn't?" So that's what we got him: Scotch and a sippy cup.
- Spent the night at Grandma Sue's, since she was out of town and we didn't feel like driving home.
- Woke up on Sunday and had bagels.
- Drove home and dropped off the boys.
- Picked up The Other Brooke and Cedar and Laney and Mom went to Jessie's house to help her get her garden ready for plating.
- Saw a baby chick start to hatch.
- Had Cedar over for a play date.
- Had Cedar's parents over for dinner.
- Fell into bed, exhausted.

Whew.

If you think I'm writing individual paragraphs about those things, you're crazy.

Love,
Mom
