Good Weekend...

This was a good weekend...too fast, but good!
Saturday day we hung out in the morning and had a yummy breakfast. We went to the BX so the boys could get their haircuts and then did some shopping at the commissary. Nice to have the company and get it done together. Then back to the house to get Erin a nap and the boys headed to the pool . Erin and I met them up there after she got up. We got a fun surprise to have Erin who watches my Erin up there with her husband and Rozlyn and Erik...they were coming to watch the kids later. So we stayed and played and had fun. Zach spent most of the time with Roz or Erik and had a blast. He has known them since we moved here, he was Erin's age at the time. He adores them! It was fun and we promised him to go back since he had so much fun and was actually in the big pool and trying to swim with the life vest...no slide again! But, he didn't care this time.
Later we went on our date. The night together was nice, but the date didn't pan out as planned. The restaurant we went to was new, so we of course got all the kinks that later maybe they will fix...poor service, food not as expected, no liquor license...lots of issues...ended up actually getting the meal for free...long story...headed to our favorite sushi place and ate that. Then got Sally a bark collar at the pet store...I am so happy today...the sound of silence! Then off to the movies...saw Tropic Thunder and have to say, it was funny. Kids did great and we had a nice night...
Today we had breakfast and back to the pool at 11 when they opened. Zach got right in his life jacket and then was a water bug all day. He was jumping off the side to me most of the day and then we would swim around. At one point he told me he wanted to do it all by himself and for me not to hold his jacket...from that moment on, I never had a hand on him except when I caught him...he was awesome. Erin faded around 12:30 and went home with Brandon. I got to stay until 3 with Zach. We had a blast together alone and just both love the water and pool...it was so much fun to get to stay and play. I am usually not the parent that gets to do that fun stuff with him so it was a treat.
Tomorrow he is off to his "green speech school" in Boron. I got an email from the teacher tonight and she commented that she hoped he did well with the time change...what? Turns out he got moved to the early class and no one told us...so he will be going from 8:50-10:20 and the van should be hear around 8...I am glad she told me or else we wouldn't have been ready until 9:30. This will work out well for us though since that is the time we leave for his school in Palmdale on T/TH...so our days will all be the same as far as time to get up and get to bed...yeah! Hopefully he will have a good day and all will go well.
So here are some photos from the weekend...
