The billionth annual Olson Family Reunion took place at Little Green Lake for, well...the billionth time. Tom, Aiden and I stayed over at my parents Friday night so we could hitch a ride with them in the morning. We left bright and early in order to make it to the flea market in Princeton, WI. Aiden got to enjoy a little Yo Gabba Gabba on the way after I very reluctantly switched his car seat around and allowed him to face forward so he could he see the TV screen. As soon as he saw his favorite show in the car (!!!!!) he entered a trance-like state and stayed that way until he fell asleep.
Don't bother me, I'm watching my shows!
After eating a ton of delicious flea market-y foods (homemade mini-donuts anyone?), and buying some adorable jewelry, we headed off to the reunion to eat some more and mingle with our not-so-long-lost relatives. Aiden got to chill out on a nice picnic blanket and play with his toys, and I chatted up some folks that were there from Norway.
Luckily we were only there for a few hours, and everyone napped on the way home.
Sunday's Events:
So today probably couldn't be described as exciting, but it was definitely a nice day. Tom went to work for a bit, we cleaned the house (and made the vacuum cleaner smoke - oops!), and then we ventured out to run to Babies R Us. I've decided to "go green" and stop using the Playtex Drop-Ins, so we picked up a pack of Dr. Brown's wide neck bottles. And then, Aiden's favorite part of the trip - baby biscuits!!! All organic, easily dissolving, and indivually wrapped, Mum-Mum's are our new favorite thing. Despite the fact that he made a complete mess with them, I love that he thinks he's a pretty cool dude eating them. We decided to try out a new restaurant tonight, and once I saw that Bravo! had outdoor seating on what was an insanely gorgeous night, there was no turning back. Thanks to Aiden's new Mum-Mum's keeping him occupied, we had a pretty relaxing dinner and some extremely delicious food. (I'm just now realizing that my entire weekend consisted of food...lovely.)
I'm off to work tomorrow and am not looking forward to it in the slightest. I think the only thing keeping afloat there is the fact that I no longer have to be there every single day. Still, the days are pretty miserable. I already am wishing for the day to be over.
Oh well, it's Tom and Lauren snuggle time!
