I can’t believe it has been a week since my last blog post. I always miss the interaction, but the break was nice. And if I’m not careful, I could very easily take another break this week! We haven’t been up to a whole lot, but I thought I’d share the highlights with you! Hudson is feeling so much better and seems to be back to 100% wild child, so I do appreciate all of your thoughts and prayers!
Big Date Day
TC and I needed some time to ourselves on Saturday to just relax, but we wanted to get out and do something. Or not do something. We asked TC’s parents if they could hang out with Hudson because we wanted to go see a couple of movies. One of things I miss most about our pre-Hudson days are just going to the movies. I always have a long list of movies I want to see, so we decided to see two movies on Saturday.
We dropped Hudson off at his grandparents’ house on Saturday morning and then we went to see Life As We Know It. I’m definitely a movie crier, but I can hold it together if it’s not all that emotional. I was crying all throughout this movie. It was so cute and so touching. And TC was even laughing out loud at certain parts. So I didn’t feel so bad for him having to sit through a chick flick.
After the movie was over, we had exactly two minutes to get to the theater across the hall to see The Town. This movie was so exciting and so smart. And my long-time crush on Ben Affleck and my new crush on Jon Hamm were both satisfied with this movie. TC and I both loved it and I would see it again right now!
After the movies, we went to Starbucks and then had about an hour to kill, so we walked around Best Buy. Which is one of our favorite things to do. We ran to pick up Hudson and rushed home to start watching the Gamecocks take on Kentucky. And that didn’t end well and that’s all I’m going to say about that. I’ve almost recovered from my frustration just in time for us to play again this weekend. It’s tough being a Gamecock fan!
Spending the day together was absolutely wonderful and we both kept giggling about how relaxed we felt and how nice it was to just take a day to enjoy each other’s company.
State Fair
On Sunday night, we went to the South Carolina State Fair with some friends. It was Hudson’s first trip to the fair and he really just hung out in his stroller the whole time. We ate some fair food and got some lemonade and just walked around for a bit. The fair used to be so much more fun when I was younger. Even just two years ago when I didn’t have a child and could ride the crazy fair rides without having to consider my child. But I had no desire to get on a ride and even the corn dog wasn’t as great as I remember. I’m such a fuddy duddy.
My mom is heading down to MD Anderson this week for some scans and a visit with her doctor. I still need to write Hudson’s 16 month post, which is almost a month late now, but this is a start back at blogging!
I hope you’ve all had a great week!
