This past weekend was nice. Especially since Ross and I were both off on Friday for Good Friday. It’s always a treat to spend a little extra family time together. Friday mid morning I took Reed to Dillard’s to get him some Under Armour shirts to put in his Easter basket. I did not want to get him candy. I wanted to get him something fairly useful. Since he sweats so much we thought that the shirts would be a great idea. On the way to the mall Reed fell asleep, so I shopped about 80% of the time with him snoozing.
When we got home his Dad was washing his truck in the driveway. Reed wanted to use the hose, which he calls shower. Below is a picture. This picture really reminds me of some that my Mom has of my little brother. It’s quite frightening the resemblance that the two of them have.
So him using the shower escalated to me going to get his swim suit and him actually helping his dad wash the truck. He also washed his wagon which he calls “his ride”.
After we washed his ride and took Reed for a spin in it to let it dry we went to the back yard to play. Last weekend when we went to try on some clothes for Reed at For The Little One‘s my Mom and I picked up a Melissa and Doug bug box and some gardening tools. He uses the gardening tools to dig in a dead patch of grass for his bugs. Below is a picture and also a video. You may want to turn your speakers up so you can hear him.
Friday night we spent the evening at a family friend’s house in New Iberia eating boiled crawfish and spending some much-needed time together. It was so nice to see the William’s family. Our families met when I and their oldest daughter started kindergarten MANY years ago.
Saturday Reed and I headed over to Little Gym only to realize that it was closed for the Easter holiday so I took him to breakfast for the very first time at Chik fil a. He loved the little circle hash browns.
That afternoon we went to the mall to hang out with my brother. My brother asked if I would be interested in going to dinner with him and hanging out since we don’t see each other much. Ross agreed to watch Reed so I could do this. While I was getting ready, Ross decided he wanted to take Reed to the Monster Jam at the Cajun Dome. They were even able to score some pit passes so that Reed could see the “twuks” up close and personal. Below are a few pictures of their guys night. Evan and his parents were able to go meet Reed and Ross. Reed loves Evan and says that he is his “fwiend”.
Sunday was pretty low-key. We went to 9 am mass in Broussard and then we went to Ross’s dad’s house and then my parents house. It was a very nice day with family and friends. Below is a picture of the basket I made him because I could not find one that I like. The other picture is of Ribbit. Ribbit is the frog that my oldest sister Carrie mailed to him for Easter. It’s as big as he is and so soft. He love his Ribbit very much.
We hope that you all had a very Hoppy Easter.
Love,
KB & Reed
