The weekend started and ended on high notes, with one big bummer in the middle. Overall, the weather was fine and we had lots of time to play outside, so that's always a win!
On Saturday morning, we went to our Godson, Jack, and his brother, Joe's birthday parties at the Firefighters Hall & Museum in NE Minneapolis. As you can see here, he was all business in his firefighter suit. The highlight was definitely getting to take a ride in a fire truck.....2 rides.....one in the way back and one up front. He was torn, just couldn't decide which ride he liked better :)
Now for the big bummer of the weekend :( When got home from church on Saturday night, Henry put on his helmet & sunglasses and got on his bike (as he normally does every time he gets outside). Well, the poor guy took a sharp turn in the driveway and spun right down to the ground, face first. His chin, lips, nose, and eyebrow took the beating. We decided to take him into the Children's Hospital ER to get the cut above his eye fixed up. He needed a couple stitches. This was our first encounter with Children's Hospital - they are absolutely wonderful. They're in the business of helping kids and they do it VERY well. They certainly didn't have the easiest little boy to deal with that night, and I thank them for their patience and compassion with him. Crazy fact - Children's Hospital stitches up 4,000 lacerations each year, with the most common age group of kiddos being 2-5. Just in the couple hours we were there, we saw 2 other kids around Henry's age that were both getting cuts on their faces stitched up, as well! Well, we got the first trip to the ER out of the way, and I'm sure it won't be the last with this crazy boy :)
Thankfully, Sunday morning he was ready to get out on his bike for a ride around the lake. He didn't even think twice about getting back on it, and I'm so happy about that!
Mother's Day
It was a great start to the day, as this delicious breakfast was delivered to me, bright and early. I do love my new coffee mug I got :) Henry was sad he didn't get to eat breakfast in his bed, so I shared with him. Now he's pumped for his birthday, because I told him I'd make him breakfast-in-bed on his special day!
This is how we spent the morning, in bed, playing, watching cartoons, relaxing, gotta love it!
Phil grilled up a lovely brunch - it really was yummy - ham & pineapple skewers, cheesy eggs, grilled bananas & raspberries with ice cream.
my beautiful table decorations - truck and flower pot were painted by Henry :)
Again, we spent the afternoon outside (with a trip for frozen yogurt, too) playing. That helmet of Henry's was really giving her the giggles, haha :)
A Happy Mother's Day it was, indeed!
