Weekending it

This weekend Dan and I did so well at team-style parenting. We didn't have any guests or any trips to NJ planned so it felt a little like pre-baby life. In fact, Kip slept in until 7:30 which was a dream for us. Ha! We used to get up at 9:30 or 10 on Saturdays and now 7:30 is sleeping-in. But, I'm not complaining.

Dan made breakfast while I nursed Kip and we were dressed and out the door by 9:00 am. The original plan was to have brunch with old friends who are moving out of the state at the end of the month. Their kids were a little sick so that was changed to just a quick goodbye after delivering some lamps I was passing along. Well, the quick goodbye ended up being an hour so by the time we left Kip was in need of a nap. He fell asleep in the stroller so we decided to go to the grocery store to extent the nap. That afternoon, we played with Kip while Dan simultaneously watched basketball. 


It's March Madness and possible his favorite time of year. Dan, Mandy, and I each made brackets and mine is utter toast. So many upsets!! 

Anyways Kip is pretty terrible about taking a good afternoon nap. He was so overtired but refused to sleep so we went out for another later afternoon walk. He zonked for a half hour and we wasted enough time to get to bedtime. Dan and I enjoyed dinner and some tv before bed.

On Sunday, Kip slept-in until 7:45 which was also bliss! My theory is he sleeps in longer when he doesn't hear us up and moving around like we do during the week to get ready for work (even though we are really quiet). Since he slept so long we all had to scurry to get dinner in the crockpot and everyone ready for church. We decided to go to Costco on the way since I figured it wouldn't be so crowded. Wrong. It was a zoo at 9:30 AM on Sunday morning. So stressful just trying to get some diapers.

Kip's naps were all off from the late sleep-in and church and he just wanted to play with his friends rather than take a stroller nap. 



We got back home around 2:30 and my friend came by around 3 to catch-up and hangout. Kip was not a great host and fussed much of the visit. 


Nothing to look forward to this week, especially with snow arriving on the first day of spring. Ugh! Just living for the weekend.
