So much Ethan time this week. He spent a lot of time with me while I was working. Majority of the time he’s good but he also needs so much attention. He understands so much Chinese now it’s crazy. Sad he’ll probably lose if when he goes back home.
I was off Friday and got to go out and have some alone time. Manicure and pedicure, ready for bachelorette party! Then brunch at La Baguette. Took home some leftovers for June since I know she loves it.
Later that day, Ethan and I met up with Mallory, JJ, Jacob, Beth and Connor at Dewberry Farms. Ethan sat and ate chicken nuggets while we did the gemstone mining. He got a giant purple rock which he kept trying to eat. Haha I think he knows now it’s not food.
We looked at some live animals which he called all of them dogs in Chinese. JJ got to pet and feed the goats. And then we went and picked some flowers.
A train ride, smelling the Christmas trees that were growing and then pumpkin patch photos thanks to Beth. Mallory and her kids left and Beth and I decided to walk around and got pink lemonade. I also got corn in a cup while she ate her sandwich and before we left, we went into the gift shop and bought matching tshirts.
Oh what a day. I was SO pooped.
Saturday morning, we met Cindy and Kenny at the cemetery. I believe it was Ethan’s first time. He had fun walking in the back while we waited for the incense to burn all the way down.
Then it was lunch at Urban American Kitchen. So glad they were okay not driving all the way to Bellaire for Asian food since I was on a time crunch. It was nice to eat out with them again after so so so long.
Ethan didnt get to nap much since he decided screaming on top of his lungs was much better.
I got him dressed and ready for Jacob’s birthday party. Mallory hired a person that does songs and storytime. Ethan was much more interested in eating popcorn. She also had an activity to make pumpkins and after playing some games, everyone got to pick a mini toy out of the treasure chest. The party favour was getting to choose a book from all the books the lady wrote. She personalized and signed them too which was pretty awesome.
After the party, I headed off to Frankenstein’s. We went to Randall’s for some pumpkins and ingredients for brownies, picked up food from Nam Thai, and Target for some pumpkin carving tools.
We enjoyed our Thai food while deciding on what design to do. We saw Artemis sniffing the pumpkins which was super cute. It’s her time of month to shine!
While I was still looking at what design to make, he made brownies from scratch! I offered to help but he did amazing all by himself. It’s perfect that I only like the edge pieces and he likes the middle.
The weather was so nice out, we decided to carve pumpkins sitting on the balcony, with the door open and tv swiveled so that we could watch episodes of SNL at the same time.
Artemis’ first cold night. She explored a lot while we did our carving and at times stared at us. She’s so cute! Can you guess who did which pumpkin?
Today, we went to breakfast at Rustika Cafe Bakery. Their food is great but their Vietnamese coffee could have been better. It just tasted like an iced coffee. Bummer.
We went back where I relaxed on the balcony a bit, mostly watching Artemis explore some more. Then Frankenstein showed me the drone he built before we had met. This guy has so much passion in learning a little (or a lot) about everything. I am always surprised by the knowledge he has in his head.
The weekend is already over. Thankfully it’s a short werk. Hello, bachelorette.
