Nice weekend...

So we had a fabulous weekend!

Friday son and I went to the mall to play on the playground, shop, and see the Easter Bunny. We saw the Bunny first - i'll post the pic later...it's SO CUTE! Then we did a wee bit o'shopping (of course, the only person I bought stuff for was son) then off to the playground.

Now this playground has a big airplane for the kiddies, as well as an air traffic control tower. The airplane is hollow, with a big slide inside it. Hubby and I watch the boy like a hawk (read as: follow him around the playground) on this playground, to make sure he doesnt' hurt himself or anyone else and to keep other kids from hurting him (some mom's just sit on the couch on their cell phones and don't watch their brats)...

I was following son when we went by the opening of the airplane slide and I thought I saw him duck inside. So I stood at the bottom of the slide and waited....he didn't come down??? I looked up inisde the slide - no son. I looked all around the airplane outside, no son? PANIC MODE...I circled the plane - the damn thing has tons of holes and tons of kids on it...Calling for son, getting panicky - what does one do when a child disappears? I checked the other playthings on the playground (it's not that big) but I kept thinking that he was there, I just wasn't seeing him... Finally another mom noticed frantic me and told me to look in the tower. I had peeked in there but was getting freaked because I knew if he was here he'd hear me calling him and come out - so he must be gone! Then I looked in the tower - and crouched and giggling was my boy....oh my god, I've never been so relieved in my life.

Saturday - we did stuff around the house (got the whole first floor of my house SPOTLESS) and took the boy into the hot tub (water turned down to 95 degrees) and had a ball...

Sunday - did yard stuff and the neighbors brought their daughter, S, over to play. Son was so tired he went to bed at 6:30. 6:30! Then slept until 7 a.m.! Shocking!
