I think Ben is cutting some more teeth (isn’t it endless). Andy says he’s been really PMS-ey lately. I tell him “but he’s so happy in the morning, you just happen to be at work.” And it’s true, Ben is usually quite chipper in the morning. When he wakes up is one of the favorite parts of my day.

This weekend my sister Danielle starred as Maria in her college’s The Sound of Music. Ben and I headed to Lockport Friday afternoon. We stayed with my stepmom Leslie and visited with family that night.
Saturday morning my mom picked Ben up to watch him for the rest of the weekend. Myself, Leslie, Gabby, Christopher, some friends and aunts and uncles all headed down to Mansfield to watch Danielle. I sat in the back of the minivan, I remember it being roomier when I was a kid :)
We headed to Danielle’s apartment to visit before the show. All of her adoring fans took up her livingroom and I hope we didn’t scare her roommates too much :) Danielle paid Gabby $1 to download some cat photo app on her iPhone and we all got a kick out of it.
Danielle is in her senior year at Mansfield and did an amazing job in the show. She can sing like you wouldn’t believe! And she made a gorgeous Maria.
We headed back to Lockport after the show Saturday night. Sunday, I went to my mom and Paul’s cottage on the lake to pick up Mr. Benjamin. He had a great time and I was SO thankful they were able to watch him (you know, it being such an inconvenience and all).
My little travel buddy did great the whole weekend (although he wasn’t too thrilled about the broccoli being served in the above picture)! And if you were wondering where Andy was in all of this…I couldn’t convince him seeing a musical would be a fun idea (even with Danielle as the lead). So he got himself a little man weekend, staying up until 3am with no consequences and finishing some projects he had laying around.

Anyone want to build this train table for Ben?

I saw a cartoon that said “Every time you watch Jersey Shore, a book dies.” This time though, Ben got to it instead. Normally he’s very good with his things, I don’t know what happened! I taped it up the best I could, poor book.

One of the first things I did Saturday afternoon was clean out the fridge, scrubbing drawers and organizing food. Yes, I’m aware how lame this is :) This was the before shot, sorry no afters.
Saturday night, Andy and I went out to dinner.
Afterwards we wandered around a few stores (including the discount aisles at Walmart). Then we headed home for a movie on the couch.
Sunday morning we slept in (ahh, so nice). In the afternoon we headed a few towns over to visit some college friends and their two daughters. Then we met Andy’s parents and brother for dinner and the Ben swap.
