recap

hola hola!
greetings after the holiday weekend. you know, this is a horrible thing to say, but it's only a matter of a few years before we start celebrating 9/11 with a cookout and an ice chest full of beer. Seriously, was "memorial day" really supposed to be about this? and sales? My roommate says (of the 9/11 sales) "Everything will be Ground Zero!" we're awful. and on our way to hell.

anyway, it was a busy weekend. My cousin, Megan, graduated high school. Graduation was fun. and i was the appointed photographer. I tried to get some pics of my gramma, but she wasn't having it since she wore two different shoes. hahaha! good times.

My friend Steve came over with a pool for Laken. and a baby lawn chair. he LOVED it! with a capital LOVE. there are more pictures for you to look at by clicking HERE . We had a blast with the pool and we are all secretly waiting to jump in with him since it's big enough!

They didn't have cool pools like this when we were kids. All we had is the plastic one with the turtles painted on the bottom. the one you had to push the side down in order to drain it.

but noooooo. Laken gets this thang!
a mini water park. complete with a slide. ridiculous. you can see this from our front door window and laken loves to play at or near the windows. first thing this morning he walked over to the window, saw the pool and then started crying cause we coudn't go outside. i'm afraid to take him outside because he'll get really pissy if he can't play in it. or even if i simply bring him inside. he loves it out there. and since i'm a big sun-phobe, it's a bit difficult to compromise. i'm the mommy though. so, i get to say, "BECAUSE I SAID SO!" and come inside.
nice


and because i've been such a nice girl lately. i got the ring i asked for!!! how nice is that?!

tonight we're supposed to go to a baseball game. but i think that's going to be a no go since we can't find one of the tickets. waaaaaaaaaaa.

my guilty pleasure of the weekend has been the Laguna Beach marathon on MTV. i'm all caught up and can't wait for The Hills to start. can't believe i'm watching MTV. i seriously didn't leave my living room for about three hours. thank goodness for TiVo. we recorded it and then i watched it sporadically throughout the afternoon.

anyway, i'm off to play with my kid. toodles y'all!
