This weekend, my dad came over on Saturday and we spent the day making Christmas cookies. Well, Papa and I did. Beboo split his time getting into things, dumping colored sugar everywhere, waiting for me to be elbow deep in some cook dough and crying for me to "wipe his nose" or "take me to the potty!" and playing outside.
After 5 hours of making Christmas cookies, I took him to "Winter Nights" which is a Christmas festival our local church puts on. They have horse drawn hay rides, S;more making, crafts, family photos, snow ball fights, Bingo, and cookie decorating. It's all FREE too! Jackson was the only one who wanted to go with me, so we dressed up nice and went. He had a BLAST. I got two professional pictures of us, then we did the snowball fight (they actually made it "snow" , too!) we had s'mores, and I bought him a slice of pizza before we played on the playground. It was awesome because there were about 17,000 kids swarming on that playground. Kids that were really too little, and kids that were teenagers. They were ALL acting like feral, coked up, lunatics! Pushing, Shoving, playing rough which, is Jackson's jam. He was So. Happy. I let him play for like, an hour and didn't worry one bit if he was being to rough with kids (my normal fear because he is a bruit) because they ALL were. Then, I bought him popcorn (his favorite) on our way home. He fell asleep 7 minutes after walking in the door.
Sunday, his DU (Bee) bought him "Charlie Brown Christmas", his favorite, and we watched that and made/decorated more cookies to hand out to friends and neighbors.
My back hurts and I am exhausted (see also, STRESS) but it was a good weekend...
Today however...LOL (On top of this morning's adventures, I realized just now, I left my lunch at home....)
