When we got to Dallas for Labor Day weekend, we went to The Blue Goose for dinner and ordered Grayson's first kid's meal. He had a cheese goose-a-dilla and ate 1/4 of it along with one or two additional flour tortillas.
On Saturday, I gathered around some helpers and we attempted an art project that I was hoping would act as decoration for Grayson's first birthday party. I have seen really pretty yarn balls all over the internet, and bought all of the supplies.
We blew up the balloons in different sizes and then dipped the yarn into the glue/water mixture.
Then, we just wrapped the yarn around the balloon in different directions until it looked like a yarn ball.
This particular piece of yarn got all tangled up and was just a mess, but we were able to cut it off and finish it off with a different string of yarn.
The balloons and yarn had to dry over night, and I'm sad to say that I forgot to take a picture of the finished product. (I guess you'll just have to wait until his party!) After popping the balloons, I had one or two that started to deflate along with the balloon, but luckily they popped back into shape. I think they turned out really well, and I am excited to hang them at G's party.
That night, we went to dinner with Brian, Stephanie, and Baby Brooklyn - but I am awful at remembering to take pictures. It was G and B's third date. I think they were making googly eyes at each other. We went back to their house after making a pit stop to put Grayson to sleep for the night, and ended up staying there WAY too late. Apparently we had a momentary lapse in judgement and forgot that our kids would wake us up early. As it turns out, when we got back 'home', Gray was awake and his Grandpa was trying to get him to go back to sleep. Figures.
Sunday we started the day off with an Indian breakfast (yum), and then took a family nap until it was time to meet some other friends for lunch. We spent the rest of the afternoon relaxing, and in the pool. Baylor played their first game that night and we watched it with all of our families.
Although our plans changed and weren't able to be in Austin for the weekend, we had a good time with friends and family in Dallas. We always do!
