Weekend blurrrrr

Friday night was actually pretty mellow. I think. I can't remember that far back! Yes, we stayed home after Rob & I both worked a little late.

Saturday morning we had a terrible scare when Loch took the pin out of the treadmill and the whole platform fell. On him. Splat on the floor. It was horrible. Poor little guy was silent for about 30 seconds after I got him out while his eyes just popped out of his head. Then all he could say was "I scared. I scared. I scared". Awful. But he was normalish about 20 minutes later. Luckily we were headed for Dr Grandpa's for lunch.

The kids had just about had it when we arrived, but they were excited to tear up dad's house. For those of you who don't know my dad, he has a MASSIVE sweet tooth and he hordes candy. He keeps insane amounts of candy in his office. This summer the kids searched and searched for the holy grail, and they found it. Luckily Grandpa got smart this time - but then he just doled it out like The Candy Man after lunch. AFTER a birthday cake too. Major sugar overload - even for my kids who will actually volunteer to stop when they've had "too much sugar". The grownups were busy working the champagne, red and dessert wines. ZZZZ.

Finn went berserk and played catch with my dad in the tv room. Keelin was zoned out after the rush and Loch was pretty close to full on exhaustion, but no - there's more! We then went to see my nephew Willy (Carrie's middle son) play lacrosse at Wesleyan. He's on a travel team - and they were playing a CT team, so they came down from Boston. It was pouring rain - so about 20 minutes we headed to Grandma's house to get ready for dinner.

Tom invited the lax coaches and about 4 other kids to come over, so we had about 20 people in the house for dinner. That includes 3 cousins - but I think our kids thought all 10 of the kids were their cousins! Finn was in 7th heaven with the big kids. And he wasn't just following them around - Finn was actually holding court with these highschoolers. I was so proud. Finn was completely out of his shell and loving every minute of it. Chit chatting away. About skateboards. He ate his dinner (because the boys did). He drank gatorade (because the boys did). He hung out in the bedroom (because the boys did). It was probably the best day of Finn's life. I think we need to find him an older boy to hang out with on a regular basis!

But the best line of the night was Keelin's. At one point after dinner, she came running in like the cat who ate the canary. Grinning from ear to ear she said "Ummm. Aunt Lisa? I have something silly to tell you. The cousins went outside. To clean the car. But they are just in the back seat. AND THEY ARE KISSING!!!" Tommy was snagged. Making out in the back seat with his girlfriend.

I guarantee he's not looking forward to our next visit :)

Then today I took the kids for a hike and a few rounds on the playground at school. Gigi and Baba watched them while I got my nails done, we had dinner at their house, and came home in time for bed. Which is where I need to go now.
