Our weekend was going to be laid back and chill. I had to shoot a wedding Friday night and knew I'd be getting home late, so I was looking forward to Chuck being home Saturday and me sleeping in! Then I got home close to midnight Friday and he told me he had to work Saturday. Boo!!! It seriously seems like every weekday I have to wake Lola up by 7:15 in order to get out of the house in time for day care and work. And for some reason Friday through Sunday she is like up and active by 6:30 no matter what. I can hardly complain, because she goes to bed so easy by 7:30/7:45, and doesn't make a peep all night. But is it too much to ask for a real weekend wake up time?? This mama is NOT a morning person. But then I see this face....
Saturday we had a last minute swim session at my parents house with all the grandkids! Lola hasn't been much into swimming all summer, but seems to be warming up. She DOES NOT want to be held in the pool, she wants to go all by herself, and even if we put her in a float, she wants to tip out of it and be free. So maybe swimming lessons should be on our list next summer.
Saturday night I went out on a girls night to celebrate a besties 30th. We were just going to go to dinner, but ended up at the casino playing craps. Home by 12:30, and felt like such a party animal. It is so strange how you become a mom and all the sudden, 9pm feels like midnight, and midnight feels like 5am. But sometimes jammies and a glass of wine in bed with the TV on are routine, instead of your old going out at 9 and not caring what time you get home.
Every once in a while, it feels pretty good to break routine.

Sundays are usually our family days. Chuck always has Sundays off, so we try to plan something fun. We decided to finally go to the Holden Arboretum and hike the new canopy walk and tower. Other than it being 90% humidity and 85 degree outside, it was gorgeous. We got a family membership so we can visit the grounds all year. If you're in the area, I highly suggest visiting and checking it out. I mean, it's only like 200 stairs, but who's counting?
PS- It's almost September, so be prepared for a lot of FALL posts! Because in my mind, IT'S the most wonderful time of the year.

Oh how I just love her sweet face! Sounds like a great time, and I'm with you on the sleep! When she gets a touch bigger, I HIGHLY recommend the Puddle Jumper life jackets. They work about a bajillion times better than regular ones, and they can basically swim (mostly)unassisted in them. And you can usually get them on Amazon under $20 (sometimes as low as $15).
