Hoping for a long weekend for Father's Day. But I really could have used one this week!
We had a nice weekend. Start with Friday. Hans got a call from a company he applied with and interviewed well for saying that they were trying to check his references to no avail. Ugh. So he went scrambling to get them new references by the end of the day. So good news, they are checking his references and maybe this means he will be offered a position soon. Bad news, his chosen references were apparently unavailable, and second, he hasn't been offered a position yet. Which means he has to go to work tonight. We are praying for this job to come through. Anything needs to come through, life is difficult for both of us with him working nights.
We went out for Mexican for dinner on Friday, as usual, I ordered the best meal. And the Inca margarita just rocks. Made in a shaker with fresh lime juice, mmmm... there are about four refills per order (no wonder they cost $7.50 each). Loved it last time we were there. This time around our waitress fixed our glasses the way she likes them and hoped we liked it. Three green olives in my margarita glass. I was afraid, it just looked wrong. But you know, I liked it!
Saturday we ran errands and then had dinner with three couples I work with. Matt and Yichien and their daughter Emily hosted. Nice house in the middle of town with a wonderful, well established lot. We really like them. Emily is 16 months old and adorable, she likes kissing Leif. Cari and Allen were there. Then Mitch and Cindy and their 11 year old Tyler, who is a great kid, and their living terror Duncan who is 18 months old. I kept Leif a fair distance from Duncan. He doesn't have interactions with other kids and was quite prone to hitting with hard objects whem Emily or Leif came his way. Unfortunatly Mitch and Cindy didn't notice this until midway through the evening... and I was a little reluctant to just say "ummm would you keep your toddler from hitting my baby".
Leif had his first experience with stairs, two of them in and out of the living room. Going up, no problem. Going down? A little more confusing and each time he pretty much just either slid face first or rolled down, neither method even phased him though.
Sunday it was cool and windy. I got the bright idea to grab the kite and take Leif and Winny to the park. Leif likes the kite while it was on the ground a lot more than in the air. Once it was in the air, he could care less. Being that it was windy, and this was a 6 foot kite, there was some force on that string. I was expecting the string to snap. Nope, the kite gave way first. The center pole snapped and down it came.
So while daddy was dealing with the kite remnants, Leif and I went to the playground. He has a new favorite thing, going down the small plastic tube slide. That was A KICK! He thought it was so cool. Giggled and giggled. We took him to the swings, which were much less interesting. Back to the slide.
Leif was tired and slept and slept, dreaming about his slide experience during the afternoon nap. Hans and I got busy playing with our home design software and didn't remember to wake him up until 6pm... oh well! Ha, yeah right... big mistake. He was UP until 10pm last night. I guess the good thing about that was that he slept solid until 5am. He was up and fussed a little at 1:30am, but nothing that wasn't solved by a little back rubbing.
