Best. Weekend. Ever.

Collectively everyone in our little family had an awesome weekend. We'll start with Henry getting to have a pancake breakfast (his favorite) at the firehouse with the firefighters. Then add in the fact that he got to use the hose, put on fire gear and sit in a fire truck and you have the best day of Henry's life to date, and possibly ever! It was so fun and the firefighters were so good to Henry. He was so proud to meet them and also a little bit shy. We arrived at the firehouse at 8am and did not leave until 11. Much to our embarrassment he lingered by the fire truck and every time he got off he got back in line for another turn. Here are some pictures:

For some reason ever since Reese was new I have stuck my tongue out her and blown raspberries. She loves it and has been trying to imitate me for some time now. Well this past weekend she did it, much to her amazement. I could tell she was tickled pink with her new skill and she has been doing it non stop ever since.




Bill and I decided we needed some fun too so on Saturday evening we took the kids to Novelty Hill winery and sat outside in the sun enjoying a big glass of wine or two while Reese chilled in her stroller and Henry played on the bocce ball court.
It was amazing!!!

My last little story is not from the weekend but from today. As we drove to Target Henry said he saw a police car. I said great and we continued on our drive. As I pulled in to the parking spot I noticed a police man pulling up behind me. My heart jumped and I thought how embarrassing to get a ticket in the Target parking lot with both kids in the car.

Instead of a ticket the police man gave Henry a badge and preceded to tell me Henry had smiled and waved very happily at him as we passed him and it made his day. I was relieved and also pretty proud of my public safety loving child!
