Weekend Fun

 This weekend was a little busy! Friday, Evan had his 9 month check-up (a month late). No shots this time. Whew! Next time he won't be so lucky... He is growing at a steady rate and is built very different from his brother! Evan is closer to "average" than Logan has ever been. We discovered that Evan had hand/foot disease. I had never even heard of that before! Apparently it makes your throat pretty sore. Sure enough, when she looked he had a red throat. That explains the constant crankiness from the past week. He was starting to get over it at that time. Hopefully he'll make a full recovery soon. 

Saturday Adam had drill that day. He was gone from 5 am to about 5 pm. When Adam got home, we got ready to go to a barbecue. Adam's work buddy, Rhandie, invited all his fellow co-workers to his house. Rhandie makes the most delicious barbecue chicken you've ever tasted! I was excited to go for that mouth watering chicken. Logan had fun playing with his daughter and the daughter of another co-worker's. He even told me when he needed to go potty. I'm so proud of that kid! The dessert I made for the barbecue was a hit! I made some yummy cookie balls (oreo and strawberry). I had made the strawberry cookie balls for Adam to bring to work on a previous week and everyone raved about them. I figured I'd make some more. :)

 Sunday, Adam had to be up bright and early and be at Liberty Park at 5 am for drill. He had to do some PT tests (running 2 miles, situp's and pushup's). He was exhausted by the time he came home (which was around 1). I let him take a nap since he was up before the sun! Once Adam woke up, it was time for me to make a fruit salad for our monthly Sunday dinner at my parent's house. Dinner was yummy! We rotate being in charge of dinner for the month. This month it was Steven and Katheryn's turn. They chose to do chicken taco salad in tortilla shell bowls. It was SO good.
When we got home, Adam and I put the boys to bed and sat down to play some Magic the Gathering (a card game). We played two rounds and Adam kicked my butt both times. Which doesn't happen often! ;) Hee hee! Then it was off to bed. Or so I thought.... Outside of our house were people doing fireworks. It started at about 10pm so I figured I'd give them a little while and they'd be done... Nope!!! It was 11 pm and they were STILL doing fireworks! This was the first time ever that I've called the cops on people. People had to wake up early for work! I mean, come on! Eleven o'clock on a work night?! Who does that?! After about 10 minutes from hanging up with dispatch, the fireworks stopped and I was able to go to sleep.
