I gained some serious “cool mom points” for this past weekend. I took my son and some friends to my mother-in-law’s cottage for an early birthday celebration. We picked the boys up from school Friday and brought them back late Sunday afternoon.
The boys had fireworks and presents Friday night, a hike, cake and bonfire Saturday with more cake and swimming on Sunday. Add in board games, target practice with Nerf guns, some Wallace & Grommit videos and a two-night sleepover, and it was a perfect boy weekend.
The photo on the right was taken mid-hike along the Georgian Bay shore. Did I mention my husband took the boys on the hike? Which made it a perfect mom weekend too! Gave me time to read, relax and think about blog posts for this week.
Speaking of which, this week’s Blogging Boomers Carnival is hosted by Vaboomer. This week’s topics include cancer diagnosis, long sleeves for boomer women, being single in a family-centric world and much more. Join the party: read the posts and leave a comment.
