weekend pictures.

friday night. we stayed in! totally needed. working on that happy medium between too busy and not enough. trying to not have somewhere to be every second of every weekend. the month of june is going to be a marathon so we're resting up these next two!

beaner had fun playing on the water bottle.
seriously. he rolled over it a zillion times. total daredevil.

gotta roll the other way now!

 ahhh! so much fun!

a bath out of order. i think dinner was a bit messy. can't believe i can't remember what happened three days ago. sigh.

then he decided to help mommy with the laundry.

saturday. we were all up early for some reason. so we decided to hit the scrambled diner. soooo good. our new most favorite-est breakfast place.

ben enjoyed the home made bread and apple butter.

they also made their own sausage. yum.

ran a few errands and then back to the house for a bit.
played out on the deck for a while.
ben loves bubbles. i had a heck of a time using the giant wand.

then daddy thought it would be fun to play through the screen. yes, i know it's disgusting but was totally hilarious at the time...
i totally remember my brother doing this through his playpen when we were younger. i think there might even be similar pictures too.

then grandma came over to babysit so nick and i could hit illiana mayfest. 'twas awesome. we were total beginners. will be prepared with pretzel necklaces for the next one! 

chilling outside waiting for the rest of our gang to show up.

got awesome imprinted cups to sample with.
nick was excited!!

just because i like it.

had some pretty good micro brews. i think my favorites were figure 8 and brickstone. did have a killer blueberry beer. i just can't remember from where!

saw some 'hillbilly' nachos early in the evening. nachos with all the fixings plus some italian beef. not sure how that's hillbilly but whatever.  i knew that i would enjoy their tastiness before the night was over!!  they were delicious.

and then the group decides to go out to dinner?!? what. i just ate 3728 calories in my nachos. oh well...

went to the circle. sat outside. was a beautiful night and we had some fun company.
a lame shot of the clock tower. i ALWAYS think of back to the future when we're on the square!

nick's sides + a dirty martini = my dinner. ;-)

sunday. we couldn't decide what we wanted to do. kinda wanted to be lazy. kinda wanted to enjoy the weather. decided to stay home. pulled out ben's splash pad. he was a bit timid but i think he was exhausted!

a few of my favorites....

what's this?

oh thanks for showing me how to play with this stuff dad....

i like it!

can i play on the slide now? that water was too cold! {look at all that grass stuck everywhere!!}

the end. ;-)
