A great weekend...ushering in another Monday

Here it is...Monday has arrived. Our weekend was so full of fun, sun and laughter that I hated for it to go so quickly. But that is life. We try to hang on to the moments that are great only to see them slip away faster than we would like. The moments that aren't so desirable seem to last a lifetime. it seems unfair but as we all know, there is reason for everything. The uncomfortable moments are here to teach and we are here to learn. So cherish both, as they both have purpose.

Friday Greyson had his belt test and he did awesome. Afterward we went for pizza and then came home to the comfort of our small home to watch a movie. Lately Kung Fu Panda has been winning the nightly battle. We headed off to bed after our movie and some Kung Fu and woke up ready to go on Saturday. Momom had to work so Greyson and I ran some errands and then came back to the house. We bought some magic rocks for Greyson to grow. you know the ones. You put the colored rocks in the magic solution and the look like stalagmites growing upwards in the water. it was a disaster...they all clumped together at some point...even though I had positioned them carefully apart and it was not pretty. They are on their way to the dump as we speak. hahahaaa unfortunately last night Greyson decided he need to look at them. Opps! He was not happy with me but I promised to try again. We also, while at The circle store, found a "bugville butterfly treehouse". I got it for his class and now I need to order the caterpillars. I think it will be a perfect follow up to their frogs they are incubating. Are you excited Suzy? :) hopefully it will work as well as they say on TV. We shall see. Saturday evening we hung out with friends and brought Greyson along. He had a blast playing while we hung out and chatted it up with the adults. It was a late night but Greyson still was awake by 7:20 or so. One day...one day....he will sleep a little longer. (We hope anyway.) Right now...not so much.

Sunday was a beautiful day and Michele had done enough on Saturday to spend the day with us. We headed to Independence park for Equal Families. It is a group of gay & lesbian families that meets so our children can play and see that their are other families like theirs out there. We do that monthly when we can make it. Yesterday even though it was beautiful only 2 other couples showed up. Greyson was so funny when Bob and Jeff showed up with their son. He went up to their son and said, "Me Greyyyyyyyy.......sonnnnnnnnnn, yooooooooou..... want to..... plaaaaaaaaaay Staaaaaaaarrrrrrrrr Waaaaaaarrrrrrrrs with meeeeeeeeeeeee." He was talking really slow imitating Alex the lion in Madagascar 2 when he approaches the wild animals and tries to explain how they have arrived there in Madagascar. Michele and I nearly peed our pants especially when we turned and looked at Bob, Jeff and their son. They all looked like dear in the headlights. hahahaaaaaa They had no idea what the hell he was doing or saying. We had to try and explain and that didn't help. We just laughed. Their son just ran off to play football after kindly telling Greyson he wasn't interested. He is a little older...but did end up playing with them later and having a blast. Ginger and H brought Umberto, Camille, and Piper to play too and Bob brought Ian. Therefore Greyson had a blast. He had buddies there and they played Star Wars for hours in the park. Lightsabers...scooters....and some lacrosse sticks came into play along with a huge area of park to run in. Yay for energy burn off! Afterward we headed to Fuel Pizza to eat and then home. Once we got home we took Greyson out back for some swinging. He loves to spin on his round swing and it is something that is good for him right now. They do it for him at OT to stimulate his vestibular senses and he so loves it. I think he could do it forever. I myself would be puking immediately. He on the other hand never seems to even get dizzy. Maybe he should shoot for being an astronaut. Rocket Scientist is good huh? Great fun in some beautiful weather...can't beat that. Today he is back at school. Hopefully they will be able to enjoy the outdoors alot and have a great day. I myself am hoping to hop on the roller blades again before the rains come. Fun fun....Good day all...Talk with you soon. Hugs...
