Our weekends are typically filled with all the ‘fun stuff’ we don’t get to during the week – the laundry, grocery shopping, dishes and cleaning.  With both of us working, we don’t have much time on a weeknight to do those housekeeping items, or spend much time with our little man.  However, on the weekends, we balance the two quite well.

This weekend we went shopping for some goodies for Avery – clothes, food, wipes, bath wash.  We went grocery shopping to fill the cupboards, washed and folded all the laundry, the kitchen sink was cleared of dishes, and after all that ‘fun stuff’ was done, we spent the afternoon at the park.

We live just a couple houses away from a park on our street, so we set off with the baby bag and a blanket and made camp under a shaded tree.

As we know from Avery’s stay-cation in Vermont, he loves playing with the grass.  He and Daddy had fun rolling around on the blanket, Avery met two dogs, and he tried the swing for the first time…

Avery just hung there, not quite sure what to do.  He looked around at the other kids playing and seemed pretty content.  We didn’t swing him too high for his first time though -

We’re excited for the warm spring weather and can’t wait for more weekends like this!

What activities do you do with your kiddos on the weekends?  We also love going for walks because Avery loves watching animals, people, and cars go by.
