Staycation 2010 has begun!

and let me tell ya, i am soooooo happy about it!!  this week has been awesome, but so overwhelming!  tis the season for interns at work, which means a whole new crop of ppl filling out timecards - or having issues filling out timecards!  *laugh*  i was only at work for 4 hours thursday, and 3 of those were spent solving timecard riddles.  : )  i also had a really interesting meeting for an hour.  oh, and the food day - wow!  so much delicious food, which i got to enjoy for breakfast and lunch. 

the plan was to meet mom & leyton at the family museum at 1, but i decided i would just meet them at home at 3.  i ran some errands - filled out the rest of my radio survey & mailed that along w/ some bills.  oh, and speaking of that survey, they sent me another $1!  : )  i believe they'll send me $10 once they get my survey back.  cool beans!  i had to go to the bank as well, and ... i went somewhere else, i thought?  hmmm.  idk! 

anyway, came home for 1/2 an hour to change & whatnot, then headed to mom's.  leyton wanted to play outside, so...


can you see the ball stuck under my car?

problem solver leyton will rescue it!!


and then kick it into the neighbors yard, so he'll have a better excuse to watch the guys working w/ a cement truck & bobcat.  : ) 


it was really fun, chasing the ball around, and then when it got too warm for me - aunt carrie's a wimp about heat, leyton is discovering! - i pulled up a chair & sat in the shade of the carport.  it was nice in there.  i had some lemon water and there was a breeze.  of course, the lemon water was using the ice & lemon from my earlier sonic sparkling lemonade, so guess who comandeered the cup?

: )

after a couple hours playing in the sun, mom got home from taking grammy to the hairdresser, so i went into the a/c for a few minutes!  then we went to ihop for dinner.  was going to be incredible pizza, but leyton'd had a pretty full day (and no nap - he is a boy after his aunt carrie's heart, he likes his sleep!) and he chose IHOP.  it takes a little bit to get there from mom's, so he took a little catnap.  then, when we got there, he woke up & decided he wanted to go to chick fil a.  except we didn't have any socks for him to be able to play in the play area!  d'oh!  so, we convinced him that pancakes would be okay, he suddenly got his second wind, and he was off into the restaurant!!  : ) 

he & gramma played a lovely game of "got your nose."  LOL 

as you can see, they both enjoyed it!  leyton was a happy little boy, and that's how we like him.  (except when he's being naughty, and he knows he's being naughty, and he tries something like this:

to get out of it. 
it doesn't work.
aunt carrie and gramma are not pushovers.
um.  much.) 

: )

ttfn!
