Low Key Weekend

This past weekend was very low key and a chance for the whole family to relax. Rob worked on his yard all weekend, mowing, weeding, planting flowers, etc..., and continues to strive to almost have the best looking yard on the block.

Rob also got a taste in being a stay at home dad on Saturday morning. I left around 8:30 am to volunteer for our annual fundraising event benefiting our literacy philanthropies, Pi Phi Style Show and Luncheon, for the Pi Phi Houston Alumnae Club. I dressed as Cat-in-the-Hat and got to strut down the runway (how embarrassing, but hey it was for a great cause). I also got to meet our former first lady, Barbra Bush, who was at the event, very cool! We had a great turn out and the event was beautiful. Rob also survived the time I was gone with Lil' Rob :-)

Lil' Rob has found a new favorite toy and cannot get enough of it. It is a little star that attaches to his gym and lights up in different colors while playing Bach, Mozart, etc.. He will lay there for at least half an hour and just stare and coo, smile and laugh. It is the cutest thing and gives me a little time to get some things done around the house while he entertains himself. The tunes are so catchy that Rob and I find ourselves humming the tunes.

Me dressed as Cat-in-the-Hat...wow I can't believe I am posting this one, but I know all of you were just dieing to see what I looked like in the outfit :-)


This is a picture of the 'Star.' I wanted to see what all of the excitement was about so I lied down with him and watched it for a little while, it does make you smile. I probably could stare at it for a good 15 minutes as well and be entertained.

This is the constant smile and coos he gives the Star, much more then he gives mom and dad. He also moves his arms and legs to the tune of the music. I will have to get it on video and post that. VERY CUTE!!!

Also, I am closing out our March 2008 pictures so if you want to see all of them check them out at the link below.
