Memorial Day Weekend Shenanigans

Happy Tuesday all! How was your Memorial Day?  Did you have a glorious 3 day weekend like I did?  So nice, right?

Our weekend didn't start off that great, though.  Nicholas decided it would be awesome on Saturday to slice his thumb open and get 6 stitches.

I'll spare you the blood-filled photos that he texted me right after he cut his finger open...it was pretty much a scene out of Dexter.  I couldn't look when they were stitching him up.  I'm a huge baby.  It's still hard for me to look at it now with the stitches in it.  Again, super huge baby right here.

Sunday was luckily a heck of a lot better.  The weather was fantastic and it was one of my best friend's 30th birthday party.  One of the things that I love about her is that she is not easily offended...so my mom and I picked up a few of these party hats.

Yes, they say what you think they say.

Fantastic, right? She was so surprised and wore her hat the entire time. Made me so happy!

There's the birthday girl, front and center!

They also had "paint your own" mustaches on a stick...we took full advantage of that!

Bella even wanted to get in on the festivities!

Sunday was the Buffalo Marathon. While I did not partake in the marathon itself, we decided to head up to Delaware Park for our usual weekend run and actually ran alongside some of the marathoners. Let me tell you, there is nothing more motivating than running with so many awesome people. You bet that I ran extra hard that morning!

Yesterday, the weather was so beautiful, so we decided to buy all of our plants and do some gardening!

We started a vegetable garden last year and it was super successful, actually it was a little too successful as we had tomatoes coming out of our ears forever. This year I bought two cantaloupe and watermelon plants...hopefully they grow for us!

Aside from the hospital run, it was a great weekend!

What did you do this weekend?
