Weekend Update

Here is a quick recap of our weekend.

On Friday night Adam read Newsweek’s special edition Secrets of the 2008 Campaign almost from cover to cover. It sounds pretty interesting. Newsweek describes this special edition as “exclusive behind-the-scenes reporting from the McCain and Obama camps assembled by a special team of reporters who were granted year-long access on the condition that none of their findings appear until after Election Day”. You can read more about it here.

While Adam was busy reading, I started my sewing project. I am still a pretty slow sewer and pattern instructions confuse me from start to finish, but I was able to pin and cut all of my fabric before the night was over. Now, I am ready to sew. On Saturday morning, we headed to the outlet malls, which are an hour away or so. With a little planning, we were able to drive while Carter slept. The forecast called for 30% chance of rain in the morning, which really meant “yes, it will rain, and rain, and rain. Bring your raincoats and your umbrellas. Going to the outdoor outlet malls are a bad idea.” But, apparently, everyone else watched the same forecast because the stores were packed. By the time we were leaving people were cruising the parking lots looking for any open parking space. I was thrilled when I found these adorable hats for Carter at the Hanna Andersson store. Usually that store is too pricey for me, but these hats were $2.00 each so I couldn’t resist. Today we made it back to church and all reports from the nursery said Carter was adorable and fun, even though he didn’t take a nap according to mommy’s plan. Daddy and Carter went for a jog this afternoon and now he is enjoying his evening bottle before bedtime. (I am hesitant to post this as it might jinx our progress, but Carter slept from 11:30 pm to 6:00 am last night!)

Hope everyone reading had an enjoyable weekend as well.
