Weekend Purgatory

Some people live for the weekends.

We here at the GM live in fear of the weekends.  Weekends mean that one out of two of us are usually working, and the one who is not "working" is working the hardest.

The unfortunate thing for me as the Editor is that I am the one who does not "work" every other weekend.

But, it turns out that this post is sponsored by the DQ2.0, who was good enough to photo-document a weekend day (yes, all of these things happened in one day! and this is how Saturday earns its reputation  in our household) with the Pizz.

First, there was a trip to the Aquarium.  Fueled with more cups of coffee than hours of sleep, the DQ2.0 manned up on the Pizz and tried her best to find the same alligators, turtles, fish, and sharks as interesting as they were the other 27 times.


Then a trip home for lunch and a blessed nap.  But what to do afterwards?  Thankfully, there was story time at our local toystore.

What the DQ didn't realize is that the Pizz is fully old enough to understand that a toystore is full of TOYS and that essentially all of them are available for her if she screams loudly enough.  

Three screams later, and the Pizz was in business.  Luckily the DQ2.0 discovered toys that were fun for parents too!

My first Legos! Hours of enjoyment!!
The Scooter, before it was fun (for the Pizz).
After the DQ2.0 realized it was more fun when a big hill was involved.
It's just a blessing that Monday comes soon enough!  Back to "work"!!
