here's our week:
monday. parker & sam lazed around a while monday morning & watched videos on the iPhone. best way we've started our monday in a long time. i got out & ran five miles & parker composed a piano masterpiece. he always has to one up me.
that afternoon we went to rodizio & loaded up on all-you-can-eat brazilian grill food {please notice what a little man parker looks like in this picture... click to enlarge if you have to. it cracks me up!} & then walked around the mall. we had to take a couple breaks for parker to stop & hydrate.
then before bed, parker sat in a 60-year old his-size chair & didn't want to move. he's easily pleased.
tuesday. it was our last day of vacation so i said to heck with clean eating & threw down a few halloween oreos. totally worth it. then we said goodbye to the fam & drove to the airport... which parker was apparently pretty happy about. {i wasn't!}
we got all boarded up on our plane & headed home. parker didn't sleep at all on the plane, but passed out within two minutes once we were in the car at about 10 pm. champion traveler.
wednesday. despite parker waking up at 5 am wednesday morning, we still got our workout on. he may or may not have a few bags under his eyes in this pic. then we did our grocery shopping to restock our empty fridge & parker ate strawberries. he ate like five of them & made a sour face with every single bite. goofball.
after naptime, an extremely bad diaper called for an early bath which parker was pretty happy about. he was also happy to lay my bed wearing nothing but his birthday suit. the evening ended with fresh strawberry salad on the back deck & sam & parker story time.
thursday. parker woke up coughing & snotty-nosed so i figured he could use another normal day with a normal nap in his own bed at home & called in sick from work. you'd never know he was a tad under the weather judging by his lunch-time peak-a-boo antics though.
that afternoon we braved the heat {yes, summer has FINALLY arrived in the pnw!} and did some shopping. and can you think of a better meal to make on a 90 degree day than a lasagna that requires your hot oven to be on for over an hour? i can't. so i made lasagna.
friday. not-mom-of-the-year-confession: my kid is a professional self-entertainer. friday morning he was entertained by kicking the door & wrestling with his blanket while i curled my hair. and then again at my doctor appointment he explored cabinets with biohazard stickers on them while we waited to be seen. seems safe.
friday night sam met up with a friend for a mariner's game & since parker was still not feeling great, we opted to stay home. and by staying home, i mean we went to the mall to shop & eat soft pretzels. an extended bath & lots of mommy-baby cuddles closed out our week pretty much perfectly.
and for the record, tomorrow's my birthday. i just wanted to let you know so you'd go ahead & be sure to choose "next day delivery" on all those gifts you're probably sending me. i'm courteous like that!
