It was really nice to have a long weekend! We began our Monday by making our 3rd annual trip to the Powell Memorial Day Parade. This year we got a nice spot on North Liberty Street. We took our wagon and chairs and had nice seats. Griffin got plenty of candy too – I think every person that walked by threw a handful at him!  He’s very cautious when going into the street to get the candy too.  And at the end the policeman got out of his cruiser and photo bombed us! Later that afternoon we spent some time in the backyard. Finn was feeling pretty adventurous climbing up the ropes of the hammock along with running to see Lily. 

Always wanting to do what daddy is doing….

We had a peacock in our yard this week!  Finn and I ran inside to get my phone so we could snap some photos. We were within 8 feet of our bright blue friend.

Finn and I went out together for dinner on National Hamburger Day – to Culvers, of course! My little stink bug also loved helping me with my caramel cashew concrete mixer.  Mmm.

Grandma watched Finn on Friday, and as you can see, they had lots of fun. She brought him Krispy Kreme do do’s for breakfast. He was so happy and goofy at 7:30 in the morning!Saturday morning daddy brought Finn breakfast in our room. None other than some dodo’s that grandma had brought the day before! He was in heaven. And he didn’t want to have his jammies on either – when I went in to get him he was half undressed and kept saying he didn’t want to wear his jammies, he wanted to be “nu nu”. 

Here is Finn taking a selfie on Saturday morning 🙂 And here he is getting some good exercise with Lily. The dogs haven’t had their “blue ball” in quite awhile!

Saturday we spent the afternoon on a last minute trip to COSI, having fun with Graham, Rowan, and Greta. 

 

Daddy wasn’t able to join us since this is the weekend they are “cutting over” to the upgrade that Kevin has been working on for months. Monday is the go-live date so all weekend long the transition is occurring which means he is frequently on the phone getting updates and dealing with whatever may come up.  Here Finn and Rowie are sitting together and behind them is the building Kevin’s project is based out of (the tall one in the center!). Kind of cool!
Daddy was able to meet us for dinner at the Spaghetti Warehouse, and by the time we had just left the parking lot – Finn was asleep!  He hardly ever sleeps in the car! And he went to bed at 7 pm – super early, but he hadn’t had a nap today. It was a full day!
