The big event at our house this weekend was that the county started paving the road that goes past our neighborhood. This was HUGE for Patrick since the dump trucks parked at the entrance to our neighborhood when they weren't needed, and since pavers and rollers slowly drove past all day long. Patrick sat by the fence and watched all day. He even ate his lunch there. Thanks for the free babysitting, county construction crew!
Also, in an extremely cruel trick disguised as a Mother's Day "gift", DirecTV has given us the Baby First Channel free for the entire month of May. This is basically like a Baby Einstein video that plays 24 hours a day. Now, I'm not saying that Ben watched it constantly, or even a lot, but he certainly did enjoy it...a lot.
