Well the weekend went by too fast as usual but we were able to go outside and enjoy the warm weather both days. I did not have any grading to do this weekend (unlike next weekend when I will have 23 15 pages papers to grade :( ) so we decided to get out and about. On Saturday we headed down to the outlets - with an entire parkinglot full of other people and Chris put Alex in the backpack and we shopped for a few hours enjoying the fresh air while walking store to store. I got Alex some cute spring/summer stuff and then we headed to the mall to get Alex his first pair of big boy shoes! They are so cute! We stopped and got something to eat first as it was obvious we all had low blood sugar so we got a snack and then got NEW SHOES! What a big boy!
On Sunday we decided to go out to our favorite breakfast place down the road and get our favorite Apple Crisp Belgian waffle! YUM YUM. Alex was really good and enjoyed looking out the window at the pond while we ate. Then we walked over and fed the ducks our stale bread from the last week. Alex was really excited to see the ducks and they were pretty much on top of us. The geese were patient surprisingly and I am happy that the swans (there are at least 5) stayed behind the fence - they were picking up the other ducks and moving them to get the food - I am afraid of swans.
Then it was off to the grocery store - Alex loves the grocery store and smiles and waves at everyone. He was checking out a little girl who was riding in the cozy coupe model carriage but he is not big enough for that yet.
We spent some time playing with the blocks I put together that Auntie L and family got Alex for Christmas/bday! He loves the tube ones and loves knocking over the stacks. He is beginning to build his own towers out of things so I thought it was time we got the blocks out - and its a toy that does not make noise!!!!
Then it was out for a walk and I carried him around in the backpack - #1 I am out of shape and #2 an extra 30 lbs of kid and backpack really makes a difference with stamina but it was too nice out to stay inside.
Then Auntie J and Uncle M came for dinner! It was so nice to have company and other adult conversation. Alex loves to have new people to play with!
