Preston and Mommy’s Date Weekend

My parents were at their apartment in NYC this weekend so that left Preston and Mommy alone since Thursday night. Thursday night was McDonald’s night (because they were giving away Shrek toys in the Happy Meal). I just have to pause here to show you some earlier in the week photos. Here is Pres in his glow in the dark dinosaur shirt from Grandma. Obviously, from the new signature thumb’s up, he thinks it is pretty cool.

Has anyone seen the new CarMax commercials with the animals that are watching television and when the deal for CarMax comes on the animals turn to the audience and make a surprised face? Well Preston thinks all things animals are hilarious and here is his impression of the monkey getting a great deal at Car Max:

He also wore his new shirt from Cousin Caitlin on Friday to school and thought himself super duper cool:

Friday night was Friendly’s. Preston was even more excited because halfway through his meal he realized his friend Keigan from school was also dining here and well, how cool is that when you are four? Saturday was a really fun day. We decided to finally go see How to Train Your Dragon. I figured with Shrek just opening we would have the theatre all to ourselves and I was right (minus three other people). I also learned after the afternoon show and the nodding off, to take Pres to the first show of the day. Which also works that I am not paying $11 to watch a cartoon movie. I have to say it was a really cute movie and I explained the moral of the story to Pres, even though he did understand all that was going on, besides fire breathing dragons. I was told however he’d like to see Shrek soon (as do I). We also snuck in his gummy worms as the ones at the theatre are $7 for four of them. He told me to make sure they were hidden in my pocketbook and completely zipped up! (Too much).

Later we made a quick stop at the mall to see if we could get a blazer I saw in Janie & Jack for my cousin’s wedding but they did not have his size. So what did we do----ride the train! Pres loves the caboose but a little girl wanted it, so he graciously gave up the caboose for a coach car (pretty miraculous-I was waiting for the breakdown).

Last night before bed we read stories and played with his animal puppets putting on a show. Today we had breakfast together and then watched our fine friend in Radiator Springs (Cars). Then it was his friend Ivy’s birthday party. There was a magician and the kids had a really great time. He is currently passed out from all the excitement, but it is almost dinner time. Because of privacy issues I leave you with pictures taken before the party of just Preston!

He has such a gorgeous profile! I love it! My little love bug!

And a very Happy Anniversary to my parents and Chris & Anna!!!! Many more happy years together!
