weekend in photos.

holy cow. was it a busy one!
took a zillion pictures. was fun trying to grab my camera more. and encouraging nick to grab the camera more too!

friday.
ben and mommy day.
he naps early for me... not so much at daycare. i didn't even have a chance to put him in his crib!
if you look closely on the second picture you can see the carpet imprints on his face and arm. 

then it was off to target. i love target. i swear ben's gonna learn target soon! then i'm going to be embarrased. hmmm. at least it isn't mcdonalds...

they were passing out ben sized samples. he of course, had to have my straw. and did enjoy a bit of whipped topping too!

then it was off to the car wash. he's always mesmerized!

went over to babysit wynn and braiden for a few hours in the afternoon. oof. that was serious.  i think ben was the hardest because he was mobile!

was a complete binky-fest!
miss wynn.

and miss braiden.

 and benjamin.

and the so helpful braiden making sure ben has some water too.

ahhh, all three playing with blocks!

ben was insistent on climbing onto the fireplace. doesn't he look so proud and kinda defiant, no?

then it was off to costco when dad got home.
ben of course, needed a snacky from the sample lady!

on the first try, not bad if i don't say so myself! ;-)

the costco trunk. and we're heading back this friday for mother's day festivities... sigh. that store is dangerous! 

saturday.
garden day.
nick ran to get lumber for the garden boxes and rented a tiller.

had to stake out where the garden was going.

nick hard at work.

mommy and ben enjoying the outdoors. it was windy!!

nick even tilled at my parents house. it's a small price to pay when you borrow their car to haul the tiller! and grandma was kind enough to babysit ben for a bit so i could do some scrap shopping. it was national scrapbook day! {and come to find out i won a prize for stopping in! yay!}

there was an outfit change in there. daddy dumped {okay ben spilled} and a half full bottle of vitamin water on ben! and it got a bit colder, yay purdue sweatshirts. thanks auntie!

he's a daredevil. has to go down the slide on his stomach...

and loves it when daddy throws him in the air. LOVES it. 

my new most favorite-est picture EVER.

not a fan of the the noises dad was making while building.

crazy hair ben after his bath.

sunday.
another crazy, busy day.
had tom and jen's shower. yes, i took a picture of one of the games. i lost. just an fyi.

i told you he loves hampers! and nick was a good dad/husband and entertained me and the weekend in pictures and took these while i was at the shower. ;-)

and that darn benny goat again. 

when i got back from the shower, i had time to do some yardwork.  and nick finished the garden boxes!

then it was off to volleyball. our final games of the season. silly scheduling mishaps. were there forever before we could start and played in some of the most exhausting games of the season. happy to say we won! yay t-shirts!! boo soreness two days later!

the end.
that was one hella post.
thanks if you stuck with it! hoping our future weekends will be a bit less busy. or maybe i'll learn to take less pictures. ;-)
