Weekends...

Let me start off by saying I have a love hate relationship with weekends. I love having Jared home and being able to go out and do things with the 3 of us, but in order to do that it messes up Cole's schedule. I'm a huge schedule person. That and Cole HAS to have at least 3 naps a day. That might sound like a lot, but his naps are not long at all. He takes 2- 30 minute naps and 1- hour-hour and a half nap early afternoon. If he doesn't get any of those naps, he is a bear to be around.

So this weekend was crazy, and so are pretty much the next 3 weekends. We went to Jared's parents house Sunday because his brother was in town and it was his birthday. So we timed it up so that we would leave our house before Cole's long nap. They live about an hour away and he slept the whole time. We decided to drive around for an extra 30 minutes. So he did pretty good and actually slept on me for about 30 minutes while everyone was busy cooking and getting things ready (yeah I was lazy and didn't help:0) But around 5:30...he was done! He wanted to go home. I sat in the back with him the whole way home to keep him awake since it was so close to his bedtime (we ended up leaving around 6:30). You should have seen Jared and I trying to keep him awake. We were singing and making crazy noises. Jared actually found a station that was playing like tribal music, so we were blaring it and clapping and making goofy sounds. He loved it of course, but the second we stopped he would start crying. We didn't get too many pics while at their house, but we managed a few of him and his parents dog and brother's new pup. I was a little nervous, but they were great with Cole.

I'm looking at the dogs like "You try anything and I will hurt you two!!"

I love how he is looking at them like "What cha lookin at?"

Those are Cole's feet, he kept kicking the dog and the pup just took it:)

Then on Memorial day we went to my brother and sister in laws new house for a cookout. We showed up a little late because we let Cole sleep as long as he would for his long nap (a whopping 50 minutes). My niece had a tad bit too much fun with Cole:




But Cole had the last laugh when my nephew sat down beside him. Poor Ethan didn't know what to think:)


Here are some more pics from that day to enjoy

So it was a good weekend, but I've been suffering from the fun all day today. At least it's short week:)
