Weekend Recap
A very fun weekend with beautiful weather. On Saturday we went to Diana Rose, a petting zoo in our area. Its interesting in that Pierce and Anna's interests are starting to diverge. Pierce liked playing on the playground equipment. Anna much preferred to pet and feed the animals (horses are her big interest).
We took advantage of the nice weather and had most of our meals outside on the patio (we refer to the process as picnicing). To end Saturday we engaged in the neighborhood tradition of "driveway beer". We set out four chairs on the driveway, brought Josie (the dog out with us) and Nora and I cracked open a couple of beers and chatted with the passing neighbors. Pierce and Anna drove remote control cars up and down the drive way (in case you're interested, Josie is scared of the rc cars).
Saturday was Anna's day to get hurt. Early in the day she tripped and skinned her knee. She was a real trooper and shook it off -she didn't even cry. I put a bandaid on it and she promptly pulled it off and reapplied it. It fell off within 3 minutes and ended up in the trash shortly thereafter. While playing with the rc cars that evening Anna fell again -this time with some assistance from Pierce. Skinned the same knee but much deeper this time. She cried, Nora mothered. Anna's been bragging about her skinned knee ever since (it looks terrible).
Sunday we had a homemade banana pancake breakfast (courtesy of yours truly) then went to the gym. After we got home and played for a bit we had another picnic -bowtie pasta served mac 'n cheese style. It was hit. Then lots of bubble blowing and a nap for Anna.
While Anna was sleeping Pierce went across the street to play with the neighbors in the sprinkler system. He had a blast, though it was cool enough that most of the kids were trying to avoid getting wet. That evening Nora told me that Pierce managed to launch a pretty impressive fart in front of the 3 girls he was playing with. I explained to him that he shouldn't fart in front of girls, but if he wanted to do it around boys it was no big deal (I also told him he could front of Mom -she thinks its cute).
On hearing this Pierce declared that all his girlfriends liked his farts. He went on to explain that one day he'll let a REALLY big fart and shake down the house.
Where does he get this stuff?
