Weekend Update

Between work, friends, and "Be a Touris 2014" Sophie and I had a pretty crazy weekend. We started off with a trip to the daycare Saturday morning. That led to the gym, grocery store, back to the daycare, and then home for naps. After naps we made a quick stop back at work and then met up with our favorite kiddos Brooke and Harrison for dinner and a playdate. We didn't get to spend near enough time with them because of our schedule but we did enjoy a nice meal at Chipotle. Harrison tried to put the moves on Sophie when we were saying goodbye and she decided to run up and kiss him on the cheek again before we left. It was so cute! We went to Joey's house to hang out which led to a trip to the park and us deciding to sleep over. It was her first time staying at his place over night and it went pretty well. She was scared to sleep in the guest room alone but we left plenty of lights on and Joey told her that monsters are scared of cats so Carlos could protect her.

On Sunday we were even busier than before. Sophie was uncharacteristically grumpy all weekend, so it was a rough start. First work, then we went back to Joey's to get him out of bed and head to IHOP for some pancakes. Our first stop for BAT was Science Central. Sophie was not having any of it. She was so grumpy and just not amused with the fact that most of the things there were meant for older children (like the huge slide). There is a nice little play area for the younger kids, but the only part she cared about was the water table. There were so many other people there and she was so irritated that I just gave up and said it was time to go home for a nap. We laid her down to watch Wall-E and she was passed out within 20 minutes. Joey and I settled in to finish up the last two episodes of American Horror Story (He got me addicted and I watched two seasons in a week). Once she woke up it was time for the Art Museum and Botanical Gardens. She enjoyed both and seemed to be in a much better mood.

We did have a slight mishap at the Botanical Gardens because she tripped and slammed into one of the windows with the side of her head. I could tell it hurt her pretty bad and she has a slight knot over her ear now. To make her feel better we decided to go over to Headwaters Park. She was upset over the lack of playground, but we ended up running and splashing through the fountain. We finished off with dinner at Pint and Slice where she demolished a huge piece off pizza and a giant cookie.

All in all it was a great weekend with some of our favorite people. I just want to send a special thanks to Joey who handled Sophie being a huge grump and me getting extremely frustrated like a total champ!
