Weekend with Daddy

Since Joe was home two weekends in a row (gasp!), our to-do list was much shorter than usual and we managed to take care of our errands and weekend chores and still have a little time to relax.

I think the most fun part of the weekend for all three of us was the half hour we spent letting Nicholas ride his bike around the apartment complex and over to the playground.

He has gotten really good at pedaling with all the practice at school and was thrilled to have a wide open space to really get going. Watch him go:

We actually got the Giants game on tv today and after watching the first half during Nicholas' naptime, Joe was really hoping to watch the rest. So he put Nicholas in his Giants t-shirt, taught him some cheers, and tried to get him interested in watching the game. Nicholas was most interested in watching people catch the ball, yelling "good catch!" regardless of which team it was.

Once he got bored, he switched to dancing, and we couldn't help but get out the camera after a few of these performances.

The only downside to having Joe home for the weekend is that we all have to be up at 4:30 tomorrow to get him to the airport. Not quite the ideal way to start the week. I have the feeling tomorrow may be one of those days where I end up taking a nap curled up under my desk.
