The Boat, Mr. Fix-It and The Best Playgroup Ever!

Our lives definitely cannot be described and non-eventful! Monday started out in full swing around here! First, Mrs. Lindsi and Mrs. Sindy called to say they were going walking. We immediately jumped on the offer to join them because Lucas was really needing some outside time. We both enjoyed walking around the neighborhood with them and getting out of the house. When we came back home, Pop-Pop came over to play. We then headed out to eat Mexican, which for some reason took forever for us to get our order. Lucas kept busy, after his appetizer of guacamole and cheese dip, by running around our private room and bringing Pop-Pop bits of rock from the fake fireplace.










After a great meal of a cheese burrito and some of Pop-Pop's fish tacos, we bundled up and headed to the lake. Pop-Pop needed to do some things on the boat and wanted to take Lucas for a quick boat ride. We were hoping that the fog would let up, but we could barely see so it was a short one. Lucas had a great time and especially loves to 'drive', but towards the end, he could barely hold his head up from being so tired. He held strong and didn't fall asleep until the ride home and then slept for almost two hours.









After Lucas woke up, we played for awhile with all of his cars and push toys and then had a yummy dinner that GiGi made for us. For dessert, I made some delicious cinnamon muffins and then we headed out for a fun field trip around the neighborhood to look at Christmas lights. Lucas loved sitting up front in Daddy's lap and looking at all of the flashing lights, the reindeer, and of course Santa displayed everywhere.
Tuesday morning we had a few errands to do around town. Since Lucas was an absolute angel while I had to do my stuff, I surprised him and took him to McDonald's for a Happy Meal. He REALLY enjoyed sitting in the booth and feeding himself a hamburger and dipping his french fries in ketchup all by himself. When we got home, we packed the car and headed to our Mom's Group for a playdate and our Christmas party.

One of the little boys in the group that is 21 months old, brought over a toy power tool that Lucas immediately discovered and took over for the day. I think he 'fixed' every square inch of Mrs. Lindsi's house!

























After playtime and photo shoot time, we all ate some delectable desserts and did a white elephant gift exchange. I am so glad to have all of these 'mommies' in my life!
We also carried on our new tradition of looking at Christmas lights after dinner. We went to Polo Golf and Country Club to see their lights and were a little disappointed. There were only a few houses per street that were decorated and that did NOT keep Lucas' attention. Hopefully tonight at Creekside will be better!

Merry Christmas!
