Our weekend started on Friday morning with Mae waking up to mommy making breakfast, and obviously already had our day planned out for us. She was already chanting "Paw Paw's Pool" and "Pool with Me"? Lets take a quick detour from the weekend recap to learn about Mae's vocabulary. Mae has acquired a pretty good vocabulary, most of which are things she likes to do. In fact, the only words that she says that are not in her favor are "NO", "Nope" & "huh!"
Here are a few of her favorite sayings.
"Paw Paw's Pool" This means that no matter what we are doing or where we are at, that we should drop everything and head to Grandpa's swimming pool. Notice, it's not Grandma's pool. Just Grandpa's. She adamant about that!
"Play with Me?" when she wants you to play with her.
"Two More" as in 2 more cookies, m&m's, etc...,
"Ride, ride, ride" could mean ride daddy, go to six flags, drive her car, etc.
"My Momma" or "My Daddy" when she's staking her claim

"Watch Wubbzy?" which is her favorite show
So off we went to Paw Paw's Pool for some early morning swimming. Mae loves to swim! She also loves to be thrown up in the air! Grandpa also has a motorized scooter that will pull you around the pool. Mae has just recently started using it, and has been doing great.
We purchased a new amplifier and new strings for my guitar over the weekend and I could not wait to introduce it to Mae, who took to it and is going to pick up musical instruments where I left off many years ago! Next step is to bring our Piano back to the house and start lessons.
Lulu came to pick up Mae around 3 on Friday so that we could go out. We first went to Uncle Julio's for Happy Hour and then to our friends house for some more pool fun.
Saturday was spent 100% of our time at our house. The only chore that was accomplished was a much needed one. The power line that connects our house to the Pole was being weighed down by several overgrown tree branches. I used a electric pole chain saw and a tall ladder to carefully remove the branches. What looked like a small job turned into a large one and when I had finished with the cuts, I noticed that the electrical Line was now resting on our roof!!! I guess the weight of the branches had stretched the cable. So a quick 10 minute call to my TXU rep on the other side of the world, we had the repair man at our house to tighten the cable.

Sunday was pretty relaxing, and of course it included some swimming at Paw Paw's Pool. On the way home from the pool Mae started saying "I want to ride a horsey mama!" She had mentioned this a couple of days earlier, so I guess she really wants to do this. When we told her "not today" she started crying. I think we will be finding a place to ride a horsey very soon!
