Memorial Day Weekend

We've had a really nice weekend together. Weather wasn't great, but it was perfect when it needed to be. Lots of good food, housework, walks and runs...not a lot of sleeping though. Hudson has decided afternoon naps are not for him, is getting up for the day at 5:30, and in general ensuring utter sleep deprivation for his family. Hopefully this is just a combination of 4 (yes, 4!) teeth coming in as well as picking up Henri's nasty cold (apologies for all the runny nose pictures, we've gone through 3 boxes of tissues in 5 days already):

We weeded and mulched all the beds. Then decided to plant some stuff. 

Trying potted herbs and flowers this year

Mom has always had geraniums, so excited to have my own


First ice cream sandwich of the year

Clearly a second child; his first ice cream sandwich of the year too

So after weeding and mulching we decided to scrape all the trim on the house and repaint it. 

As Hudson refused to nap, we had to find a way to amuse him. Water table to the rescue!

Clearly naive to think he'd be content to play at the edge

Attended a parade this morning in Belmont. Hen really was interested, she was trying to figure it all out

The boys


"Helping" to weed (ie, pulling all the weeds out of the bucket and chewing on them)

Weed fishing


He does surprisingly well for being so sleep deprived

Sheffie's arrived for the summer!

Hen's been wanting to rough house a lot more lately. 

Cannoli cake. Everything I imagined it would be from the recipe and more.
