let the memorial weekend celebrations continue

so after having the woods over on sunday evening, we then had another busy day on monday.
jessica, tina and myself went to look at a house that was just put on the market (for jessica and justin) and then we headed off to breakfast. apparently no coney island's were open since it was memorial day so we headed over to laurel park to eat at their coney island and then go to von maur to look for shoes for the wedding. the coney island was open but von maur was not.
after looking at parisian and finding nothing, we then went to claire's for jessica to look for something which she didn't find. a failed trip? you might ask. no. i found a tiara that i will be purchasing soon so i can wear it to the reception. it doesn't say princess, it ways queen. in pink. and there was a matching pink boa. it's awesome.
so we head back to jessica's to drop tina off at her car and then we headed back to our house to get ready for our bbq.
our next door neighbors were having a party and they had a pool and a big inflatable water slide in their backyard. i simply set up hayden's beach ball sprinkler. he wasn't too happy about the fact that i wouldn't let him go next door, but he dealt with it. a bit later the meltdown began. i think it started because his eyes hurt. he kept saying there was water in them, but i'm guessing it was sunblock that got in there after the water. then it was anything and everything else he could cry about. so we all headed in and put the boys down for a nap in which they both immediately fell asleep. jessica and i did too.
when leon and tina came over, hayden woke up a bit later. he ran down the stairs saying "i took a rest and now i feel much better!" it was great. until we told him he needed to pick up his toys before we headed outside. he even had 3 people help him and he still sat there crying and refusing to do it. most stubborn kid ever. seriously.
he finally cleaned up and we headed outside for our bbq. talan woke up and jessica figured since it's redford, she might as well bring him outside wearing nothing but a diaper. he was walking around quite a bit, but i can't wait until it's full time. his feet and toes were all scraped up from crawling around. he also has fallen in love with hayden's tonka truck. he's the perfect height for it and he'll just push it all around the driveway.
we wrapped up the evening with catan and screaming out the window whenever our neighbors would start yelling back and forth to each other apparently about the red wings who are apparently playing in the stanley cup. poor tina sat in silence after seeing we moved the tv out of the kitchen. we realized our mistake and brought it in for her to watch.
after monday being 86 degrees there was a frost advisory last nite and another for tonite in affect. gotta love this state.
it was a great long weekend. thanks to all who were involved in it!



i only got 2 shots of hayden before the meltdown happened and he had to go in for a nap:
as you can see, our backyard sprinkler was nothing compared to the neighbors water slide:
walkin':
he simply wanted to play with the giant beach ball:
he had no idea he would be sprayed by water:
after trying to crawl away without success, he simply got up on his knees, sucked in his gut and panicked:
hayden, tina, leon, dave and jessica:
Teens:
Leens:
dave and jessica. she's disgusting:
fixin' his car:
he loves this truck:


he almost climbed all the way to the top:
jessica and talan. she took him outside this way:
this is the game he made up and thought would be a good idea. all 5 adults sat and watched. surprisingly there was no bad ending. this time at least:
