I don't know what to write about so I'll tell you about my weekend

This weekend I had planned to go swimming as evidenced by my Saturday haiku.  But it had rained earlier in the week and the water was a bit too cold.  Maybe next weekend?  We'll see.  Instead I went along with my mom and my sister while they did some shopping and then they took my son home with them while I stayed home and cleaned the window blinds with my husband, BT.  Exciting, I know.  Then we went over to my parent's and played bocce and hung out outside since the weather was nice.  After dinner, my sister, BT, and I played Rock Band and I think I'm starting to do alright on bass.

Sunday Bub and I missed church and the three of us went to a birthday party for one of his preschool friends at a place that is nothing but inflatable bouncy things and slides.  This is our 5th party there and so we are very familiar with the whole thing.  His two best friends showed up late but he was so happy when they got there.  In the party room, the mom had the whole thing themed out in Wizard of Oz with blue/white gingham table clothes and the matching cake and balloons and wall decorations.  She had the plates and the cups but I'm not sure why she had cups because they had juice boxes but whatever.  She was one of those moms who wants everything to be just so and so was trying to get the 4 year olds to do things a certain way and that is never going to happen.  The boys got mini-picnic baskets filled with blue and brown M&Ms and the girls got ruby slipper treat boxes with red and white M&Ms.  It was really cute.

Then after the party we went to my aunt's house for burgers and hot dogs and we played some horseshoes.  My family used to be big into horseshoes and then my uncle got sick and we should of went away from it.  This is the first time we have gotten together to play since he died and I wished he was there.  I think we all did.  But it was fun and I lost because I am not that good but I scored a couple of points and one ringer so that is something.  And I played with Bub and my 5 year old cousin.  We all had a good time and it was a nice weekend.  Just really busy.  Maybe next weekend we can have a day at home.

This weekend

This weekend should be busy.  Bub has a birthday party for one of his preschool friends.  I'm looking forward to it because I never get to see him play with his friends and I bet it is precious.  Also the boy is having his party at the same place I've booked for Bub so I can see how many of their friends show up.  Although Bub's party is at 10 am so that might make a difference.  I don't know.

Then Sunday a local neighborhood is doing their annual Christmas party and we like to go to that.  They have games and a Santa and a "train" to ride and it is really fun.  I like to take Bub to do as many things as I can.  And he enjoys it.  I also need to do some more shopping, though this time just grocery.  And I have to figure out what to get the in-laws for Christmas.  BT is never any help with that.

This weekend

We don't do much on the weekends.  I get off early on Fridays and so the house is cleaned that day so that I can have the weekend and it is easier to clean without the little boy around.  Occasionally we have visitors but mostly it is just us.  BT always works one day during the weekend and so I have Bub most of the time alone.  Often we head over to my parent's the days he works and hang out there.  It's very domestic and quiet which  most of the time I don't mind.

This weekend I'm thinking of doing a little Christmas shopping one day and picking up a toy for a birthday party that Bub has coming up for one of his preschool friends.  Other than that I would like to do some reading.  I have a lot on my to-be-read list and I need to par it down.  I have several reading challenges that I'm trying to finish up soon and so I need to read those books.  I also got some movies from the library for us to watch.  And that is about it.
