What A Crazy Day!

This weekend has been a pretty busy time.  I woke up in my normal fashion.  John was "singing" in his crib.  Thankfully, he slept until 6:30.  The other day he decided to wake up at 5:30.  He went straight back down until 8.  I am just excited because he is finally sleeping.  He has been a finicky sleeper to say the least most of his little life.  My husband finally convinced me let him cry it out.  I tried to do the pick up/put down method.  He would just FREAK.  Then, I tried the idea that you would go in ever 5 minutes, etc.  He went over an hour and a half.  Now, he finally sleeps through the night.  I am finally done with the 3 A.M. wake up every night.  It has been nice!

Back to the original story, though.  We woke up and hung out while torrential downpours took over.  When there was a slight break in the weather, John and I headed up to Target so we could buy a present for his big cousin who was turning one!  John and Joe were going to the birthday party while I headed to a wedding shower for my cousin.  Of course, they were at the same time!  Joe dropped me off and went to the party with his family.  I spent the afternoon with my family.  I was able to go to the party for a little bit since my shower ended early.   I got to cross off another item on my list because Baby Olivia was there and I got to hold her for a few seconds before my little guy got too jealous.

Right after the cake was done, I checked my phone and saw that my friend from college finally arrived in town.  About seven years ago, she moved to North Carolina.  I haven't seen her kids in six years.  She had them for the day so I got to see them and how much they've grown!  We hung out for about an hour, but Kristen had to go to a surprise party.  Joe and I went home after being out since 11 in the morning.  We ordered sushi and went to bed.

This is SO not like the Saturdays of my younger days.  I never thought that I would see the day when this would happen.  This may have been slightly boring to read.  I am trying to keep up with updating my blog.  I hope that things will get more interesting!
