Fun Weekend

Daddy and Spencer spent all day together Saturday because I was having a girls' weekend with Susan, Susan and Jenni. They headed to Butler Park early that morning for some remote control car action. Then they tried the Pitch and Putt course for the first time. Spencer absolutely loved playing "real" golf.

We hit another milestone on Sunday: First movie in a theater! I know Spencer has gone to a couple of IMAX movies, but Planes was his first full-length film in a theater. He liked it and said he wants to go see it again.

After the movie there was a quick stop at Amy's Ice Creams next door followed by browsing at TreeHouse. Most 4-year-olds love looking at cabinetry, back splashes and faucets, right? I think he could spend hours in there. Cracks me up.

And this picture is actually from Thursday evening, but I had to share. What a grown-up looking little prep. Be still my heart! And if you can believe, he styled that outfit. He wanted to wear a "nice shirt" to go with those "nice shorts." And of course the ever-present driving moccasins. We are on the hunt for a new pair - these (which were hand-me-downs from our friend Camp, as are the shorts in this pic) are showing a lot of wear-and-tear and are getting too small.

 

Hard to believe he's not starting kindergarten this year. Just looking so big lately. Love him!

Low-Key Weekend

We had a nice, low-key weekend. On Saturday mornning we headed to BookPeople to see our new favorite band The Que Pastas. We were excited that Ella and her mommy, daddy and nana met us there. Later that afternoon, Sarah and Ken came over to play, then we went to Phil's/Amy's for an early dinner and of course ice cream. You know you might treat your child to Amy's Ice Creams too often when he walks up to the counter and confidentally says, "A tiny Belgian chocolate, please!"

It's kinda neat now when one of Spencer's friends comes over to play and they can just run around without constant supervision. At one point things were a tad too quiet for my taste, so I peeked in on them and this is what I found:

Sunday was a super fun "Spencer and Mommy Day." We made pizza pockets for lunch...

Then we made a cardboard heart-shaped bird feeder and hung it in the yard. (We will relocate it today - that wasn't the best spot to hang a birdfeeder.)

Both of those activities were compliments of Spencer's Highlights High Five magazine. Our friend Christa sent him a subscription for Christmas and we're really enjoying it.

After that, we spent a few hours at Zilker park and even took a ride on the Zephyr. It was a great day!
