Four Day Weekend!

It's Easter weekend! And I have a four day weekend! Party Central here at our house. Magoo and I started the weekend off right by heading to Indiana for lunch with family, a little construction supervising, and a bit of light shopping (HA- Nana came with us and there is no such thing as "light shopping" when she is involved).

Where's my hard hat, Mom??

Magoo also had his hair trimmed by a friend of mine Friday morning, as I've cut it the last several times and did a particularly poor job last time. I've cut it really well a few times in the past, but I thought, well hey! We're here with Megan, so she may as well give him a cute little cut and save him from another potentially bad mom-cut. :)  Look at the fancy little head of hair on that dapper dan!

We went for a walk downtown while waiting for our lunch date to go on break, and that's when we found a really cool construction site. Magoo loved watching the men working with the digger and the semi, so we hung around for a while and ate popcorn and waved and pointed and giggled. Lots of fun, people!

The semi driver waved at us, too!!

We broke our construction site date a little early when we heard a train whistle off in the distance, and passed the courthouse on our way to the train tracks, where a very sweet, very old gentleman gave Magoo a teddy bear and chatted for a minute. From there, we stopped at a little store with a train set and some other fun toys, since we couldn't hear the train whistle anymore. I love that store! It was great when I lived there as a kid, as a college student, and as a mom, it's still one of my favorite stores! Magoo had so much fun that it was actually too fun... there was a minor meltdown when it was time to leave for our lunch date! He enjoyed himself though.

We had lunch at Burger King since they have a play place, and oh man, was that crazy. Friday morning in early April, right? Should be nice and slow, right? WRONG. I guess it was spring break down there, because there were kids EVERYWHERE. Magoo made friends with a little guy his age though, and once he was brave enough to climb through the tunnel to get in, he had a lot of fun. He really wanted me to climb in there with him, but no thanks, kid! I don't want to be the cause of getting us kicked out of the BK play place! 

It was great to see family, even though it was really only for an hour- I really miss living in an area where it is convenient to see people that are important to me, and that were so pivotal in my life growing up. Love my family, love my hometown, and love the people that life there!

We ran into a few stores after lunch, and I almost, ALMOST (and now I really wish I had) bought some rockin' leather pants that were "reduced, on sale, clearance". How cool would that have been? I'm going back to BAR. GAIN. SHOP.  when I finally finish my program and have a big girl job somewhere. Magoo talked me into buying a couple things he wanted though! Well, one thing. I found the really fun hat he's wearing in the picture above, and thought it was too cute to pass up, and he asked Nana for the Thomas puzzle that you see him holding in the picture. Made out like a bandit!

And then he passed out on the way home. :)

Can't wait for our Easter Sunday festivities!
