saturday, as promised

so we told you yesterday that we'd work backward through our weekend and share with you today what we did on saturday (and also gladly pay you tuesday for a hamburger today).

saturday started with a nice family breakfast and then a trip to the doctor. no ... the "daddy eggies" didn't poison anyone ... we can't believe you even thought that, dear reader! rather, jack and mommy headed to the doctor to pick up some forms that he needs to start preschool in september. jack was actually relieved to go there and get a sticker without having to be examined by the doctor. but, we did see dr. dana as we were waiting for the receptionist to find our envelope and she and jack blew each other kisses and waved.

with health forms and a new dora sticker in hand, we headed to the toy store to pick up birthday presents for some friends. at the toy store, jack was given a complimentary balloon and got to play with their thomas train table while mommy shopped around. he had a great time.

we returned home for lunch and a nap. and it was after nap that the real fun began.

we ... (drumroll please) ... washed the car!

jack thought it was pretty great. all his faves in one activity -- the car, and the hose, and the vaccum ... oh my!

after a soggy car wash, we enjoyed a delayed celebratory birthday dinner for daddy with take-out pizza (a rare treat for jack) and a (by request) homemade cake. delish!

so, when taken individually ... two great days. when taken together ... priceless. and for everything else, there's mastercard.
