Just keep swimming......another time!

Friday night we were supposed to have an EPIC girls Bible study night but we canceled because nearly all the girls had something come up last minute.  So instead, we decided to meet the Zderads for a night of swimming at the community pool.

Benjamin was SO. EXCITED.  He scarfed down his dinner and coul't wait to put on his swimsuit and go swimming with his friends.  Peter blew up his new swim toys from Christmas and the excitement was building...

we got in the car and when we got to the pool there was no one there and it was dark.  Apparently there was a swim meet the next day so they had canceled open swim for that night.  I thnk I literally felt my heart sink.  Because I knew just how disappointed Benjamin was going to be.  Neither one of us wanted to break the news to him.

He took it pretty well, he just got really quiet and kept saying "maybe we go open the door.  Maybe we go swimming.  Maybe they will open."  It was kind of pitiful.  Thankfully we decided to meet at McDonalds instead to have some ice cream and let the kiddos play.  Benjamin had a blast playing with his friends, eating a cone, and we had a great time chatting with our friends!  We're hoping to take him swimming soon....maybe even on his birthday in less than 2 weeks.  He's going to be 2 which is a whole other reason to make me feel sad.  Am I really going to have a 2 year old?!?!?!

Anyway, the rest of the weekend was spent being productive around the house.  Benjamin found a new place to drink his morning milk!

We ran errands on Saturday morning and came home so Benjamin could nap.  While he napped we worked on some projects for his big boy room and Peter went and got his hair cut.  We made a lot of progress in his room and I'll try to take some pictures soon.  It's nothing fancy but its making his room more cheerful....and cheerful on a tight budget :-)

Today we enjoyed our church service, had our annual business meeting, and we all came home and napped.  Benjamin was soooo tired but woke up after an hour and a half.  I thought Peter was going to bring him into our room but he slept with him on his bed.  They cuddled and slept together which was adorable.  Then they slept in the same position so I had to take a picture.  It was shortly after I took the picture that Benjamin started jumping on Daddy's belly singing the Veggie Tales theme song over and over as loud as he could, ha!!  Peter is seriously the best dad, I love watching him and his little boy.

Peter went to Sunday night church tonight, we're half watching Finding Nemo while playing with Thomas the Train and soon it'll be bedtime for our little guy!  Can't believe the weekend has flown by....hopefully I can have a productive week without overdoing it too much.
