We had a fantastic weekend!

RJ is taking his vacation days, so he didn't have to work, and we also didn't have anything else to do. Which is rare. If he's off work, it's usually for a reason.

Also, the Child was shipped off to his grandparents. My fam's on Friday and RJ's dad's on Saturday. He is going to be one cranky pre-schooler this evening!

So Friday we ran some errands and I made broccoli cheese soup for supper. (a family favorite, but we don't eat it very often- at least not the homemade version) And we caught up on The Office and Scrubs and watched the new Battlestar Galactica. Awesome!

Then Saturday, we lazed around in the morning. Then we went biking, and biked from the Big Dam Bridge all the way down to Burns Park and back. It was really fun!

We transfered the Child between grandparents, then came home and did some yardwork. I know- not so much fun, but it was kind of easier without the Child around. And it's also satisfying in an odd way, you know?

Then we went to dinner at the Villa. And also went to Barnes and Noble. And sat and had coffee and read. And were quiet. For a whole hour! At Barnes and Noble!

I did miss the Monkey, and it's nice having him back, but I love him all the more for being gone for a while!
