Weekend Recap

We had a wonderful weekend and although it is coming to an end, I still have one more day of my vacation tomorrow and then it will be back to work for me on Tuesday. David had to go back to work tonight after having nine days off, so I am sure that it will probably be a bit difficult for him to adjust back to his wonky work schedule. He said that he was ready to go back, but that will probably only last a few days, ha! We didn't do a lot today, just mostly stuff around the house, hanging out with Hudson and I worked on design projects for a while today as well. Hudson watched his favorite movie, Cars, two times in a row this afternoon! He's seriously addicted to the movie and would probably watch it over and over again all day long if we would let him, but that's not going to happen! We've also managed to get quite a bit done during our time off while still having some time to relax and have some family time as well. Yesterday we actually went to a birthday party for my cousin Carla's son, Wesley, at a park in Waxahachie. Wesley turned five years old and I cannot believe how fast time goes by and how big he is! Him and his brother, Wyatt, have grown up so fast! Everyone had a wonderful time and Hudson, of course, went crazy running around the park playing, chasing the older boys when they were flying their kites, playing on the playground equipment and just being an all-around hyper little boy! It was very warm and humid, which made it a bit uncomfortable, but at least we were under a covered area and a nice little breeze helped keep us a bit cooler during the majority of the party. Hudson played so hard that he was bright red and sweating like crazy! He had me a little worried that he was overdoing it and was going to get sick or something, but David took him to the car to cool off in the AC for a while when he got really hot and then he seemed to calm down a *little*. In any case, we had a great time at the party and then went by Marcia's afterwards so that we could visit and she could play with Hudson a bit. She just got a brand new air conditioner unit installed, so David also wanted to go check it out and see how much cooler her house was...which is was very cool, I was a bit frigid in fact! After hanging out a while, we headed on home and just lounged around the house for the rest of the day. All-in-all, it was a very nice weekend and we had a lot of fun.

They look almost exactly alike, I know!

Pinata time!! It took quite a while to get that pinata to bust, but the kids went crazy for the candy when they finally got to it!

Hudson sliding down the slide...he got a little scared and flipped over. You can't tell in the picture, but he was crying. :(

This is what he looked like by the time we left!!! Sweaty, red faced, exhausted and leaving with two large scrape marks on his leg from falling down while he was playing. We've now decided that we will have to get some spray-on Neosporin / Bactaid type stuff and carry it around with us at all times because you never know when you might need it!

Hudson being a typical boy and acting silly by sticking his tongue out! He was trying to eat that Tootsie Roll in the wrapper, too! Ha!
