Even though Michael and I spent Friday night working on homework and housework, we did have a very busy, eventful weekend.
On Saturday, we got up early and went to my parent's house in Asheboro, because my uncle, aunt, their three children and my grandmother were coming into town. After visiting with them a little at my parent's house, we piled in our vehicles and headed toward Charlotte. Destination in mind? Concord Mills and IKEA.
Michael had never been to IKEA, and since we were in a hurry, he sort of got the quick tour. We are planning to go back and look a little harder when we have more time to stay.
You see, we'd promised a certain 10-year-old cousin that we'd take him to the LEGO store. And we did. And let me tell you, I'm not a LEGO fan, but that place is great. There were kids everywhere, building, picking out presents and having a blast. He thoroughly enjoyed getting to customize his own LEGO men, and he even picked out a Toy Story LEGO set. I just wish he'd let us take his picture. I tried, but he wasn't too enthusiastic about being photographed, so I let it slide.
Next stop was the food court. My little curly-headed cutie-pie cuz Lauren (she turns 3 next month) headed for the carousel. Michael waited for us by the fence while we rode, and Lauren, who absolutely LOVES Michael, was too busy waving at him to really care much about the ride.
The youngest of the brood, Landon, is turning one about 8 days after my first anniversary. He is getting so big, and it appears he will be a curly-top too! That makes four of my grandfather's seven grandchildren who inherited this trait from him.
Behold, the cuteness!
Someone else doesn't like her picture taken, either!
"I wanna ride the motor!"
Me and baby Landon- he is chewing on a battery operated tealight.
Today is Sunday. Although we're accomplishing some household tasks, we're definitely going to take some time to enjoy this beautiful weather. Hope everyone has a good weekend.
