Saturday, we started the day with Papa Taco (formerly Olivares, and John the Plumber’s sometime before that).  Don’t ever eat there.  I got sick, and it all just tasted awful to begin with.  That afternoon, we tried to take JR to Kiddie Park but it was closed.  They tried to take JR and Buffle to another park, but leash laws held them up, and JR had fallen asleep anyway.  He refused to nap when he got back, and didn’t fare too well that night.

Sunday, we got up, got ready, and drove to Leander outside of Austin to spend the day with the S’s and the A’s.  We had such a blast!  It was awesome to get together with friends that we never see.  Everyone’s kids are great and growing well.  The husbands stayed at the S’s house while us wives headed out to do some shopping.  We just had such a great time, and hopefully will get to see them once more before we leave.  We got in late Sunday night, and JR finally slept soundly all night long.

Today, my MIL & SILs took me to the Menger Hotel buffet for a baby shower luncheon.  Great food, beautiful hotel, fabulous gesture on their part, and another great time was had.  It was also somewhat amusing because this cold has robbed me of my voice, so I had to speak in a shout in order to be heard in a whisper.  Even the waiter tried to find a remedy, so I must have sounded like crap.  After lunch we picked up a few things at the River Center Mall, and ran a few errands before getting back to Becca’s house to rescue the men from their child-watching duty.  They had all graciously watched the kids while us ladies went out.  We hung out for a while before heading out ourselves, dropping FIL off at the house before heading out to the now-much-dreaded Target for some more last minute shopping.  Little did I know that half of San Antonio would be there too doing the same damn thing.  Little Caesar’s pizza for dinner (yum and fast) and now I’m going to persuade the boy to sleep.  I want to go to Ikea, Babies R Us, and Chuck E Cheese’s before we leave, so we’ll see when that can happen.
