Weekend Recap

Since E decided to be a holy terror the last three days, we spent as much time as possible out of the house (distractions for the win). At least there were some good moments sprinkled in so it wasn't entirely unbearable.

Friday: we went to the playground and had bbq pizza for dinner.

Saturday: we went to the playground again (just to get her out of the house), and taught her to fly a kite! I haven't flown a kite since I was a little kid but turns out kite-flying is a lot like bike-riding, it all came back and we had a blast with it (until she remembered that she was in a terrible mood, had a meltdown, and we had to go home).

Sunday: First, E woke us up with a pillow fight. If you've never been woken up by a 3 year old hitting you with a pillow, it's kind of hilarious (minus the rude awakening part). Then she decided she was Batman, J was Green Lantern and I was Green Arrow, and refused to call us anything else the rest of the day. The weather was too gross to do anything outside, so I suggested we all go to McDonald's for lunch and she could play in the play place. Turns out the one we went to had an outdoor play place instead of an indoor one. Womp womp. We took her out there anyway just for a few minutes, and she wouldn't go down any of the slides or anything, so it was a moot point anyway. When we got home, we set up our tent in the living room and watched movies until dinner. She got in trouble for not finishing her dinner, so at bath time I took away all her bath toys. Next thing I know she is playing with her washcloth pretending it's a mermaid. Imagination- 1, Mommy- 0.

All in all, not a terrible weekend. I hope yours wasn't terrible either. Happy Monday!
