Nothing Better Than Waking Up To My Two Favorite Men

This weekend was great! Devin is now off on Fridays and Saturdays and I cannot tell you the last time we have been off together on the weekend! Over four years I know and of course we did not have monks then so to wake up Saturday morning at 8:30 to a talking monkey down the hall and then eat breakfast and get ready to spend a day together was amazing. We went to some stores and it was so nice out we went to a park. We picked up Gigi and Tia Net and went to the park. I was shocked to see only one girl there with two small boys. It was so nice out!! Where was everyone?? Monks walked everywhere and just loved following the sidewalks. He is still not fond of sliding and even though Devin was at one end and I was at the other he was NOT getting in one of those tunnels. He loved swinging though! He holds on tight when you pull him back, but when you let go, he just laughs and laughs. He was in that swing forever! He even looked drowsy toward the end. He was so chill and relaxed. Funny story: Tia Net got on a swing too and after a few minutes on she jumped off and all I heard was a scream and a thud and Devin ran to her. She was laying on her back in wood chips laughing hysterically. So were all of us. I wish I had our video camera. It was hilarious!! She had gotten stuck and not slid off so she fell mid air. Man, that made our day. Glad you’re okay Tia Net!! We then went home for Monk’s nap. After his nap, we all met at Gigi’s for dinner. Tia Net made chicken fried rice, Tia made a great stir fry, and I cheated and picked up egg rolls and cheese wontons J It was so good. We then played a Battle of The Sexes game. Girls won (of course). While we played Monks just pushed around his Buzz car and played with random toys. He would come by and occasionally want to be picked up to see what we were doing. Gigi brought in this small kids chair that is red and blue and Pete cleaned it off and he loves to sit in it and eat a snack or just play on it. We were busy playing our game and Tia Net pointed and we turned to see him standing on it. I swear he is such a little daredevil. Climbing on chairs, the couches, ottomans, anything! We then had cookies and ice cream for dessert and he loved the cookies. He ate like he was starving of course and shoved it all in his mouth at times, but he enjoyed them!
