A great weekend

We had a three day weekend for President's day (or at least Max and I did). Friday night I got a manicure and pedicure which I so desperately needed. Its been a long time. Saturday Mark's mom was in town so we hung out with her during the day and I ran some errands while Max took a nice long nap (we're sticking to the one nap a day even on the weekends now). Saturday night was our lovely Valentine's day which I already wrote about. Sunday Rachel and Justin came over to see our house. We hadn't seen them in a long time. I saw them about 9 months ago but Mark hasn't seen them since their wedding. They moved back to DC so we will hopefully be able to see them more now! We went out to lunch after that to Noodles & Co. and Max had his first bite of a rice krispy treat:


Obviously he liked it. We wen to Towson Mall to walk around after that. Then back home and I left Mark and Max at home and went to run a few errands. I stopped in Whole Foods which is right down the street and I'm not sure why I have never gone there. I mean I have gone in the past but not since we have lived here. I love it there. I just walked through but I decided Max and I would be stopping by there on our day off the next day. We are so lucky to have trader joes, whole foods, and fresh market all so close by. What town has all three available? Who ever needs to go to the Giant again? Funny story about the Pikesville Giant...until I was in college I literally thought it was called the Gucci Giant. Like I didn't realize that was a joke, I thought it was the street that it was on or something. It might have even been after college when I finally realized, oh Gucci like the brand. If you are reading this and you're not from here, never mind :)

Anyway, Laurie and Lennon invited us to go to Pump It Up with them on Monday. Its a kids party place that has all blow up moon bounce things and slides and stuff. Its definitely for older kids but we decided to try it. Lennon had gone before and loved it. It was really fun! Max was a handful and there were SO many people there since it was a holiday. I spent most of the time chasing him or holding him and felt like I might go into labor. Then in order to get him to go on the moonbounce I went on it with him. Probably not the best idea for the third trimester or any trimester for that matter. I'm ok so no harm done. He had fun in there but wanted to hold my camera the whole time so the only pictures I have of him in the moonbounce are of him crying because I took the camera away to take the picture. I think Laurie got some better ones but for now:
Max escorting Lennon out of the car then crying because he doesn't know how to share

Laurie explaining that they have to share

Bouncing

Playing with Laurie

He really was having fun he just wanted the camera


We went out to lunch at Tajini's and then home and Max took a nice long nap. He was worn out. When he got up we went to old navy and got him some new clothes. He wears a 3 toddler size in a shirt! That is crazy hes not even 19 months old! He has a really long torso like his daddy. We also went to Whole foods just like I planned. Max was such a good boy the whole day and it of course made me miss being a stay at home mom. I was so tired and felt like I did way too much by the end of the day though. Getting all 31 pounds of him in and out of the car so many times in a day is tough on a pregnant lady! Maybe its also because I shouldn't still be putting him in the backseat of my civic. I'm sure I don't mention this to Mark a few times a day. We are getting a new car its just a matter of us making time to go shopping for it everything.

That was probably a boring blog entry but Carrie needed one so there it is.
