It's game time!

Friday night Justin and I actually went on a little date! I say "little" date because his parents actually went with us. But...we did get to go out to dinner and to the casino and my mom and dad watched Tayson. I must say, people tell me that the older Tayson gets, the easier it will be to leave him but at this point, it doesn't seem to be getting any easier! However, we did have a great time!! We went to eat at Mama Z's and then headed over to Siloam Springs. Normally when we go to the casino, I like to play either blackjack or roulette but this time, I decided I would venture out and try something new, so I played the slots. They were actually a lot of fun and I won some money!! I guess we were so wrapped up in everything that I forgot to take any pictures, sorry!

On Saturday, Tayson and I headed off to Gymboree, like we always do. Afterwards, we met up with Justin and one of Justin's best friends, Justin at Chilis for lunch. That afternoon, Tayson and I headed to the mall and Target for a little while to see if they had anything that we couldn't live without. We came up short! There are a lot of cute spring things out right now, but I am just not in ready to buy springtime clothes right now when I can't wear them for another month or so. I must say though, I love the bright springtime colors!!

Saturday night, we had Ryan, Amber, Kaid, Justin, Jenn, Matt, Lynn and Colin over for dinner and to play Apples to Apples. If you haven't ever played this game, you should, it is so much fun!! I think Colin had a lot of fun playing with Tayson's toys and Tayson had fun showing him how they worked :)

Sunday was a pretty low key day for us. We just hung out, cleaned the house, went to Old Navy (we had to check out the baby/kid sale that is going on) and got Gage a birthday present for his party next Saturday!! Tayson really wanted to play with Gage's present that we got him. He didn't understand why I bought this really cool toy and he wasn't allowed to open it up and play with it. Poor baby, if there had been more than one left, I probably would've buckled and gotten him one too. I am a BIG sap when it comes to my baby and I have a VERY HARD time saying no. Sunday morning I did venture out and try to let Tayson feed himself with a spoon. He is really trying to be a big boy and always tries to take the spoon from us when we are feeding him so I thought I would let him try it out. He was a BIG mess, as you can see.

It didn't take him long to ditch the spoon and go right for the bowl!! Sunday night we went to my mom and dad's house for dinner, we do this every Sunday!! That was our weekend in a nutshell, I hope everyone had a good weekend too!!!

I LOVE Apples to Apples. We haven't played it in so long (once Tayson gets more mobile you'll realize it's harder to have game nights unless he's sleeping--haha!). Do you go to the NWA playgroup get togethers often? Our week is crazy, but I hope I can start up next week.

Sounds like you all had a great weekend! Tayson eating out of the bowl is sooo cute- I love it! What is he eating?

Tayson is adorable with that food all over him!
I've heard apples to apples is really fun - I'm going to have to play sometime soon!
