Weekend with Reeders

It's Sunday night and Monday is right around the corner. Boo. I.don't.like.Mondays.

Who does I guess?

We had a fun weekend though! We kept our nephew Reed while his parents had a weekend off and partied down in DC and my in-laws kept our niece Paige.

It was an attempt for each kid to get undivided attention, which as you know doesn't happen a lot when you have siblings.

The weekend was full of pizza.

Snuggles and movies. Which, btw, Reeders is SUESSED with The Polar Express! OMG! We're over a month out of Christmas and he is still all about his Christmas pjs and wanting Santa to bring him a Polar Express.
It was so funny! He must have watched it 4 times over the weekend. He knows all the words and actually tries and act out scenes! HAHA! Remember, he's 4 1/2 years old.

Brad just came in here and asked if I wanted to watch it again just for fun. NOT! Seriously though. I remember those days.
My favorite movie when I was a kid was the original Grease. No kidding, I probably watched it every day for at least 2 years. I knew(and still do)the words to every song!

Giving that Reed is all about trains we took the light rail into Uptown Charlotte Saturday. He told us this was his favorite part of the entire weekend.

CHUGGA CHUGGA CHOO CHOO!

The weekend was also about hitting up some of Charlotte's kid hotspots. Imaginon was on that list giving that it's a super nice children's library and theatre and it's free.

Discovery Place being another.

It's a hands on interactive science museum for kids which includes a Rainforest exhibit and much more.

A bed of nails...

The weekend was also about doing fun stuff at home like helping bake cookies!


The weekend also consisted of a trip to McDowell Nature Preserve and several walks around our neighborhood.
Overall, a great weekend! The only snafu? Budster.
Wowzers.
Jealous pooch.
While we were Uptown at the museums Buddy decided to let us know how he felt about Reed being around for the weekend by pi--ing on our guest bed in the room where all of R's belongings were.
Nice..eh?
Given -- this is nothing new for Buddy. He did this when Brad and I first started dating. Yep...we stayed over here one weekend and took a leak all over Brad's bed. Bright yellow p-ss. At least it wasn't that bad this time.
Well, that's all I have for today!! Back to watching the SAG Awards.

Love the blog Dee, So glad you had fun. Reed got in the car when we left and insisted we walk back to give you guys another hug. The door was locked and you'd must have left. He was like "Oh ok." :)

He had a great time with you guys and told us that over and over. Thanks again for keeping him - we appreciate it more than you know!

XO

What a nice Aunt. Looks like he had a blast. My Nephew has already started making his Christmas list for next Christmas. He's 2 1/2. Spoiled rotten. Baby #2 can't get here soon enough!

What a great weekend!! I want to lay on that bed of nails :)

Sorry to hear that Buddy wasn't pleased with your visitor. Those only dogs do get a bit jealous at times, don't they? Louis is guilty of exactly the same thing!
