two day pass

this weekend was all about the impromptu.

spontaneity was our speed.

t. bone and miss bit kicked off the weekend and summer vacation, although it was not too summery, at grandma and grandpa's.

i came home from work friday to no hustle and zero bustle.

i almost didn't know what exactly to do with my lonesome self.

my man and i invited my aunt and uncle to join us for dinner on the spur of the moment.

they accepted so we enjoyed decent mexican, adult conversation and maybe a margarita or 2.

saturday we strapped on our shoes for a 5 mile loop.

as we walked we decided to replicate bobby flay's flank steak sandwiches for dinner...we were hunry so what can i say?

we shopped for the necessary ingredients making it home just as my dad delivered the kiddos from 2 days of spoiling.

they were muddy from frolicking in the woods with the puppy and sufficiently sugared up from the ice creams they called lunch.

the sox played a late afternoon game and won.

then we stayed to cheer on friends on another team.

before we knew it we were putting our grilling plans on hold and heading out for dinner with the clan.

miss bit had her pick of boys in uniform...there were 4.

the mom's got the most of her attention as they fawned all over her and she went from lap to lap eventhough she is almost 7.

i was up by 7 on sunday.

so much for sleeping in.

and the rest of the fam was not far behind.

we lounged, did chores, grilled turkey burgers and sliced watermelon for lunch and then played until it was time to cheer on the sox again.

the day's game was a favorite of the season...at the little league field right outside our major league ballpark.

the sox played great, but best of all they had big fun, and t. bone had his own cheering section 11 deep...loud and proud.

the team gathered for a post game tailgate that kept us out until 10.

i tucked the littles in bed and then myself asap once home.

it was 10:15.

miss bit was too tired to worry about starting camp in the morning, t. bone was too tired to shower, my man was too tired to sleep and i was too tired to even dream a little dream.

all evidence of another great weekend.
