What made this a great week? Hmmmm, let me think...
1. Sunday the 29th we were invited to a great party at my parents' house. So we packed up the little man and drove up for what we thought was going to be a rainy day... but we got lucky and had nice spring time temps. Seeing everyone together was the best part of the party. I usually, only see my cousins, aunts and uncles at Thanksgiving, Christmas and at least once during the summer for a party - so it was nice to see them, and have our kids play together!!
Arrrggghhhh, matey! Shiver me timbers! I'm a pirate, I am!

2. Sunday was also my last day with my childhood dog Carlie. She was very happy at the party, enjoying her time surrounded with family who loved her... and who were willing to sneak her some meat under the table! Since it was such a nice day, and I had a good time saying goodbye to my little Carlie-dog, this fits with "Happy Friday".
3. I don't really allow Lucius to watch TV (unless of course it's Baby Einstein, because don't we all want a little Einstein?) ... buuut lately he gets extremely cranky and tired between 6 and 6:30-before his bath, and I stumbled upon a new show that he just loooves to watch!
It's called "Ni Hao, Kai-lan", and boy is little Kai-lan adorable. I love her monkey friend Ho-ho and her cute little Grandpa. Plus, I like to think that it's a little educational... it teaches children basic Chinese 101!
4. I LOVE SPRING! It's been very nice weather lately, so we take walks to get the mail and Lucius helps me work in the garden! Can't wait for the pool to be open at my parents' house :)
He loves the wheelbarrow, especially the noise it makes from his little hands banging on it :)
Have a great weekend everyone!
