Another weekend gone...

The weekends just seem far too short these days!!

Friday night I picked up some chinese food on the way home from work and we stayed in until Clint left for work. It was kind of nice not to start the weekend by rushing to dinner, but we missed seeing the usual crew!

Saturday morning Madelyn and I woke up, ate breakfast then met my friend Marta at the Merry Marketplace. I love going to all the festivals this time of year!! We went home, ate lunch and woke Daddy up. Clint put Madelyn down for a nap while I went thopping - by myself!! That rarely, if ever, happens so I really enjoyed the alone time. But I was at Super Target, and started cramoing and my lower back was hurting so bad that I had to come home pretty quickly. When I got hime, Clint made me lie down for a while and I felt better. The afternoon we went to Erin and Billy's house for a playdate with their son Will, and our friends Peter and Laura's little boy Pierce. Erin took some cute pics of the kids. Will is 9 months and Pierce is 8 months old. The kids had a lot of fun!!

When we got up Saturday mornbing and I noticed that the sink in the kicthed was clogged. Clint didn't get to it that day, so he and his Dad worked on it ALL day Sunday and could never get it fixed. it's such a mess!! I washed dishes in my bathroom tonight because I made a big pot of chili today and had Mom over, so we had nasty dishes that HAD tio be washed. I have a dishwasher full of dishes, but I can't run it. Clint's going to call the plumber tomorrow, so we're praying it's not too major of an expense!! It always seems to be something in the Buchanan house!!

Last week we started finally putting Madelyn to bed while she's wide awake. I realized that when Baby #2 comes, I won't be able to hold them both until they're asleep, so Madelyn is being a big girl and going Night night on her own now. It's getting easier every night. Tonight she only cried about 3-4 minutes. But it's so sad because when I tell her it's time to go Night night, she starts crying while she walks down the hall to her room. Then she sits in her bed and just cries, "mama, mama". Man, she knows how to break my heart! I feel like she's becoming such a big girl it makes me sad!!

Well, this wee should be fun with Mimi and Uncle Clay's birthdays, and Halloween. I'll be sure to post halloween pics later this week!!
