What a weekend!

Well I had a long weekend but it felt like a short one.  I came home at 11am because i got rained out at work.  So I surprised my wife by just showing up.  She was so excited as well as my son, JJ.  JJ came running down the steps and gave me a huge hug.  What a great welcome home.

So the rest of the day Friday I spent doing some running for my wife and doing some of my own running.  We had to get everything ready for the party.  When I got back from my running around, JJ and I went out and mowed some of the lawn before it started raining.  He loves ridding the lawn mower.  So then it started raining and we then went into the house.  We went in and realized that it was after 5, so JJ and I made some dinner.  My wife was out shopping with my mother in law. 

After dinner JJ and I decided to watch a movie, He loves Elmo so he went over and picked up a Elmo movie so that is what we watched. While watching the movie my wife came home, she had chicken for dinner, so I had to eat again. It was OK, she makes better chicken then KFC.

Well Saturday morning, we got up and eat breakfast.  Then we JJ and I got dressed and headed outside to do some more things to get ready for the party.  We first got the lawn mower out and we only got two passes mowed before we had someone pulling in the driveway.  (I knew who it was, it was a surprise for jj and my wife.)  My sister-in-law and her husband pulled in.  JJ just started waiving.  We pulled over and shut the mower off and JJ was not happy that we shut off the mower.  He wasn’t sure what to do,  his aunt came over and picked him right up.  He just kinda look at her.  It was kinda funny.  Then his uncle said hi and started talking to him.  Then he started warming up.

Once JJ was ok with them we jumped in the Ford Windstar and headed to Wegmans to see JJ’s grandma.  She was so excited to see JJ,  her daughter, and son-in-law.  Grandma didn’t know we were all coming to surprise her.  When we got there we ended up having more of a brunch with her.  I was fun having everyone together again.

So needless to say, when we got home JJ needed to take a nap.  So my wife went and laid him down and I went back outside to finish law work.  I also had to finish everything else, set up tent, tables, chairs, get drinks put in the fridge, and help my wife finish everything else, inside my wife.  She had most of it done already.

Then the day of the party!!  Everyone was there from aunts, uncles, great aunts, and great uncles, to grandmas and great grandma’s.  Everyone had so much fun, there was kids running everywhere,  all of them boys but two girls.  They sat quitely and played by themselves.   The boys, however did not play so quitley.  They were loud and running everywhere and getting into everything.  But what can you say boys will be boys.  JJ was in the mix at some points being the ring leader.  It was so funny. 

The party was great, and everyone had a good time.  The weather was great and you really couldn’t ask for a better day overall.  Most of all the food was gone and all the pop and beer was just about gone as well.  So needless to say clean up was kinda easy.  Nothing need packed away or stored anywhere.  After everyone left we went over to my in-laws house and watched twlight for the tenth time. But its a good movie so it was ok.

When the movie was over we said our goodbyes and went home, put JJ to bed and then I had to pack for the week, because it was back to work on monday morning.
