I woke up to a squiming boy in my bed on Saturday morning. LOL I secretly love being woke up this way on the weekends by hubby carrying our little one in the bedroom and flopping him into our bed, but I don't tell them! Matthew knows I am NOT a morning person, and I wake up grouchy sometimes (ok 95% of the time), but when he brings Noah in to help out, I wake up smiling and giggling.
Matthew needed a haircut Saturday morning, but he knew if he left Noah here at the house that I would have to listen to a crying boy! So he bundled Noah up and took him uptown to get his hair cut. I thought he was going to take the car, but he ended up putting Noah in the stroller, grabbing a sippy cup and some dry cereal and a few toys instead.
Later, Matthew needed to go to get some gas in his jug for the lawnmower, and he took Noah in his Radop Flyer wagon to Casey's. Casey's is a convenience store, and it is located only 1 block from us, so it is handy at times!! Noah loved going for rides and spending time with daddy.
The last trip they went on to get something, it finally dawned on me. It was 3:15 and his parents were coming for supper at 5:00pm. I had completely forgotten it was Saturday, or rather THAT Saturday and that his parents were coming for dinner. I quickly called Matthew on his cell and told him to come home and help me. LOL I was still in working around the house clothes, my hair was combed, but not polished and looking nice like I wanted it to be, the living room looked like a toy factory had threw up in there, the dishes in the dishwasher needed to be put away, and the dirty dishes needed to be loaded, and dinner needed to be made.
Obviously, I had forgotten to thaw the pork loin Friday night and put it in the crockpot with veggies on Saturday morning. UGH!!!!!!!!! So what did I do??? I harassed Matthew for ideas and started to panic. LOL I finally decided we would do baked spaghetti, seasoned green beans and garlic bread. I started running around the kitchen and pantry collecting things, tidying up, loading dishes, etc. etc. and by the time they walked in the door at 5pm (on the dot!! They are usually 30 minutes late. LOL) I was ready!!!! I took the 8 minutes needed to toast the garlic bread, and we sat to eat supper.
We had a good visit before, during and after supper. Grandpa thought it was so sweet that Noah is getting more comfortable around him and wanted to sit on the couch beside him most of the time. Grandma was a little jealous I think of all the attention Grandpa was getting. LOL They both loved the meal and we had a wonderful time (I was suprised too!!!), and then my bold hubby told them at 10 till 8 that it was Noah's bedtime and we would have to kick them out now. LOL He doesn't do it to be rude, and they didn't take it as being rude, but I had to laugh because I am not usually bold enough to do that with visitors and I was thankful that Matthew had.
Here is a picture of the triple batch of spaghetti I made on Saturday. I meant to make a double batch, but it turned out to be more than I had expected. I found these neat little aluminum pans at a discount store for 25 cents each!!! I need to go get some more. We ate one of these spaghetti dinners (enough for one person to have leftovers), and I put the two remaining dinners in the freezer for an easy heat up dinner later.
On to the picture:
