Oh man – was our weekend filled with lots of Malmy Madness! Ever wonder what it’s like to live a weekend in our shoes – follow along!

It all started when Leep came hobbling home early on Friday complaining of toe/foot pain. Off to the doctors he went to come crutching home with a burst tendon diagnosis. My first thought was “Man, those crutches are going to make our fun-filled weekend a little more tricky!” I also learned that the bedtime routine for a 9 month old of playing, bathing, changing and feeding is a lot harder solo. [shout out to all you awesome single parents]

Gunnar typically wakes up around 7:30a and we play and have his morning bottle. After I got ready, Gunnar & I packed up and headed to Meme & G-Dawgs house to grab some breakfast and let Leep rest his foot peacefully, but not before stopping at Starbucks – of course.

The 4 of us went to a cute little breakfast/lunch restaurant in Pungo – The Bee & The Biscuit. It was a busy morning but the weather was perfect, so we grabbed a table outside to wait. They have a bar and an assortment of games for you to play while you wait for your table. Gunnar enjoyed his favorite game of throwing everything off the table while I enjoyed their Seasonal Sangria and Meme & G-Dawg both had a Sassy [spicy] Bloody Mary. We all enjoyed a delicious breakfast [Gunnar ate his weight in scrambled eggs] and by the time we were done Leep was at my parents house waiting for us. It was time for a nap for Gunnar before off to our next adventure!

When Gunnar woke up, the 5 of us headed off the the Beer, Bourbon & BBQ Festival! It was hot, it was crowded and the lines were long. But there was more beer, bourbon and bbq to taste than one person could consume. We hit up a few tents sampling various beers, flavored bourbons and some new bourbon batches – it wasn’t long before everyone was sweating and Leep was tired of crutching around. We found a shady spot for him to sit and Gunnar to get out and play. We had a good system, taking turns going to get everyone different samplings to taste and friends would stop by to chat and love on the baby. We were even close to the tasting theater where every 2 hours they would host a different distillery to sample their bourbons. Overall the event needs some improvements, but we made the most of it and had fun!

After a long day of boozing and sweating, Sunday was reserved for the pool! We spent most of Sunday swimming and splashing at my parents house and spending time with G-Dawg before his surgery on Tuesday. This baby loves the water and is already a great swimmer. He loves jumping in so his face goes underwater – it’s so cute!

Overall the weather was great, the company was even better and we made the most of our daylight hours! What did you do this weekend?
