Just a quick recap of the weekend while Elizabeth tosses Mr. Drew into the tub.

Friday -- worked from home (woo hoo!) and then we all went out for burgers at Andy's in Rolesville. On the way, we saw an awesome set of lights off Burlington Mills Road -- I think it was all one family, but it went on for at least a mile. Lots of those inflatable things as well as lights. Drew was loving it.

Saturday -- Lizzie worked, so Drew and I headed out to my folks' for the day, where Drew got to chill with his Grandma (and get a ride on the four-wheeler!) while Grandpa hung lights on the house and then we worked on some "surprise boxes" related to Drew's birthday gift (think trains... and xmas trees...). We got home around 2 or so, and he was beat. And when Lizzie got home, we weren't feeling so adventurous, so after Drew zonked out for the night, we watched the Extended version of "Return of the King." All four hours of it. Whew. Fun, but loooong.

Sunday -- Lizzie worked again (ugh), so Drew and I ran around and did errands in the morning (Pet Smart, the mall playground, Target for groceries) and then he crashed around 2 again. While he napped, I got a pile of writing done. After Lizzie's return and supper, Drew and I took part in what's becoming a ritual -- Chase Drew. We run around the downstairs for about 15 minutes, while he alternates between laughing and screaming his head off. Great exercise.

And now, after the bath is over and we've read a couple books, Lizzie and I are doing some reading and probably crashing early.

Weekends -- when did we use them for relaxing? Ah, we had a good time, even if Lizzie had to work both days (I think Drew and I had more fun than her...).

Later...
