Memorial Day Weekend...

We packed a lot into our three days at home in MD!  James went to school with my mom Friday morning (she teaches 2nd grade so he had fun comparing her class to his own-- of course, school life is better when your grandma is the teacher!).   When they got back, we took the boys to Germantown Water Park.  All three boys had a great time but Peter was so much fun to watch on the water slides-- he went up and down them just like the big boys!  He'd walk around to the top of the slide, go down all by himself, and then Chris or I would catch him.  His smiles were absolutely priceless!  Unfortunately I didn't get any pictures since it's a giant splash park... and I clearly cannot be trusted to hold my phone around water.

On Saturday, Chris and the big boys spent the day together.  They played laser tag, went to a park, and headed to a baseball game with Grandpa later that evening!

While they were having a fun "Boys Only Day," Mom, Peter and I went shopping!  Can you believe this is the line just to get into J.Crew?  

Ain't nobody got time for that!

We still had fun browsing around and spending time together.  Plus, Pete was happy to have us all to himself.  He didn't cry or fuss or whine the entire day!  Really.  It was a small miracle.  And so very nice!  Although it may be because...

We let him play with Henry's toys...

He got to walk around with a hunk of cheesecake...

He got to take a bath the way he wanted to...

And best of all, he got Gigi all to himself!!

So sweet.

Love this!

We had a bbq on Sunday at Mom's house with Keith and his friend, Charlie, and then we headed over to Lauren and James's house with the big boys to play!

This is their back yard... the boys
LOVE the cool treehouse they built.  So much fun!

It was so nice spending time with old friends.  James, in particular, asks to visit Tommy and Jack (Lauren's sons) every time we're in MD so it was nice to see them playing together again!  I wish we lived closer so they could play together more.  They're all like peas-in-a-pod and we hardly saw them the 6 hours we were over there!

Best friends since 1986!

Weekends at home are always too short but we tried to pack as much as we could into those three days.  Already looking forward to our next trip home... we miss everyone!
