Long Weekend

We had a nice long weekend with Monday off school and it was fab. Can't we always have a 4 day work week?!
Friday Fulton had pajama day at his school. Pajama day is easy....except when you don't get the text until the morning of and you didn't put him to bed in any "cute" pj's..... so then you feel it's necessary to change him out of his pajamas into some other ones. Matt said this was ridiculous, whatever.

Friday night we had some yummy dinner at the Depot close to our house and then played with our bibs some. Who needs a hat when you can wear your bib on your head? Cheap entertainment around our house.

And then we did a little modeling in our drawers. We gotta work on that muffin top coming over the diaper. He is taking after his momma on that one.

We did a little story time before bed...Fulton just likes to try to eat the pages.

Saturday we met up with one of my dear dear friends from high school. We met her and her husband and sweet daughter Laylee for lunch. Laylee was born about 3 weeks before Fulton, so I hope they can be best friends one day. Look how sweet Laylee is looking at the camera and wild man is so not interested at all.

Sunday we went straight from church to meet the fam for Uncle Pete's birthday celebration.

We had a yummy lunch at Wings and Uncle Pete got some good stuff for his big day.

Aunt Keri came over and we decided to go for a walk in the neighborhood. It was a little chilly, so it was the perfect opportunity to break out the "snowsuit" that Aunt Keri got for Fulton. I don't think we will see any snow this year, so this may be the only chance we get. At least he was warm. He kind of reminds me of the little boy on "A Christmas Story."

A few minutes into our walk and this was the result... success! Notice Sophie is his best friend these days. He loves that giraffe that sis gave him.

He woke from a good nap and was all smiles and ready to play. Hooray for naps that make us wake up in good moods.

Today we were out of school and had a day full of events.. so many things to do that I wrote them all on a sticky note so we wouldn't forget anything. Our first stop was the only fun thing for Fulton. We went to a painting pottery place and did a tile with his footprint. We had a coupon for a free one and thought we would take advantage of it.

Of course we couldn't walk out of there without creating something else. I know it's after Christmas, but we really wanted to do a Christmas plate with a reindeer from Fulton's foot and just never did it... so, why not avoid the rush and do yours in January. He was such a trooper. The rest of the day included lots of running around, another walk in the neighborhood and now someone is snoozing good in the recliner with daddy.

Can't wait to see the finished products from the pottery place. I am sure they will turn out super cute!
Thanks for celebrating with us yesterday for Pete's birthday! He's had a weekend full of celebrations!

I am so glad you did the Christmas plate. It is just perfect for cookies. And the PJ day looked like fun. Sometimes I just send Jacks in PJ becuase I am being lazy.

Fulton is getting so big! I'm thinking there's no way he can get any cuter, but he DOES every time I come to your blog!

(You know, we NEVER did the footprint thing. I regret that!)
