The exhaustingly fun weekend

This whole weekend was a complete blur to me because there was so much going on.  On Friday, it was my first day off from starting my new schedule but David had to work.  So, Lilah and I went to visit Dani in Severn because it has been a long time since we have seen her.  We hung out at her house for a bit and I put suntan lotion on her before we went to a park to walk around.  Lilah hated the suntan lotion and hated even more so when I had to put it on her head.  She looked like she was related to Albert Einstein.  We drove to a park and walked a short trail with Dani and her fiancé Matt (Lilah was on my shoulders).  Matt rode his motorcycle there and Lilah loved playing with it.  She liked sitting on it and wanted to drive it.  Afterwards, Dani and I went to lunch at Lemongrass, which was fantastic.  Lilah enjoyed her fruit and causing mayhem around the restaurant.  After that, we went to Wal-Mart where Dani picked out some clothes for Lilah’s birthday and a baby shower she is going to soon.  All that fun was tiring on Lilah so we went back home to Daddy.  When he got back home, his mother came by to drop off a card for Lilah and her Great Grandmother Dorothy gave her a nice card and donation to her college fund.  We all decided we needed something to do so we all walked to Jimmy Cone and got ice cream with David’s parents, John and Jonathan. Jonathan enjoyed sampling everyone’s ice cream and playing with his truck.  Lilah enjoyed walking everywhere and playing with her Daddy.  After that, we went to back to our house, went shopping out of our freezer, and went to David’s parents’ house for dinner and that was the end of that night.

  

On Saturday, we started the day early and went to some yard sales because we saw some things we wanted to get.  Luckily, even though we got a late start, we managed to get to the first one to get the DVD player we wanted.  We also went to a few more where we got some clothes, some DVD’s for Lilah, and David got some legos for “Lilah.”  Even though he already has many legos “Lilah” can play with but mostly likes to throw them either at people, or so they trip on them, David still found them necessary since they were 75 cents, and they made him happy.  After that, Lilah and I dropped David off at his truck and we went shopping.  We first went to toysrus to get baby food for Lilah since they were having a good sale where each pouch (Lilah refuses to eat anything in a jar anymore) for a $1.  After that, we went to the shopping center where Mom’s Organic was.  There we walked around the shops and Lilah decided she liked White House/Black Market and I tried to say “bye-bye” so she would want to come back but she ran away into the store so she could play with the clothes and necklaces.  The store workers thought she was adorable and they loved her good taste in clothing.  After that, we went into Mom’s Organic Market because I had a groupon for them and I needed a pizza for Sunday’s party because one of my nephews cannot eat eggs, peanuts, tree nuts, nuts or soy (there is a difference I just do not know what).  We managed to find a pizza that did not have eggs in it and looked appetizing.  We also picked up some baby food for Lilah and I grabbed a magazine to finish off the total so we could use the groupon.  After that, we went back to the house and dropped everything off and Lilah took a nap for 3 hours (all that shopping tuckered her out).  After she finished her nap, she had some dinner and we drove to Safeway to do grocery shopping and pick up some more party supplies.  Since we were having a dinosaur theme birthday, I had supplies for goodie bags but I felt like there should be something more so I picked up oatmeal with dinosaur eggs in them.  After that, we went home, David came home later, and Lilah went to sleep.  Once David and Lilah went to bed I put together goodie bags, put the baby food away, and got some homework done.  I was going to finish homework but Lilah started crying and I know she does not sleep well when David is not in bed with us so I went to bed so she could sleep.

On Sunday, we had a relaxing morning until I pulled out the pizza I got from yesterday and I looked at the back again.  Even though the ingredients said there were no eggs or soy in it, it had a warning saying that while the ingredients were not used in it, the pizza was made around it.  So, I rushed over to Food Lion where it took forever to find a pizza that did not have eggs in it or soy (they can trick you when they say soybean).  I learned that a soy nut is just a roasted soybean and they are not nuts.  But this made it extremely difficult to find something but luckily I managed to find a pizza that worked and I walked back home.  After I put the pizza in the oven, Lilah decided it was time to take a nap on me.  After David packed up the car, I gave Lilah to him so I could change.  Once we got to the restaurant, David stayed in the car with Lilah while I decorated and paid for the cake.  The cake was divine looking and was beautiful.  The party was a lot of fun and everyone had a good time.  All the kids loved pin the head on the dinosaur.  There was a lot of left over pizza and cake.  Lilah, David, and I were very grateful for all the wonderful presents she received from everyone.  When we got home, Lilah got to play with some of her new presents; we sorted out clothes and put Lilah to bed.  She went to sleep at 6:30pm and other than waking up for bottles she stayed asleep.  She either was really worn out from the party or she is going through a growth spurt which makes sense because she’s been eating a lot and sleeping a lot.

This morning Lilah still refused to wake up after I dropped her off at day care though she was opening her eyes a bit.  She must of really needed the sleep but I think she will have an awesome day.
