Weekend with The Carson Family

This weekend was extremely uneventful, and it was wonderful! The last few weekends Matt has been busy so it's mostly been just me and Halle hanging out at home. We liked having daddy home with us :)
Matt took the day off on Friday to get some errands done and then pick up Halle early from daycare.
This is what I found when I got home...

He said that she cried when he put her in her crib for a nap and as soon as they got back downstairs, this happened. Baby girl loves Daddy <3
Halle was scheduled to have her 12 month appointment that afternoon and get her 12 month shots. Womp Womp. Here is Halle waiting for Dr. J to come in :)

Seriously, too much cuteness!

After some consideration, we decided to get her the flu shot. Apparently I should have researched this earlier because for first time kids the flu shot is done in 2 parts. She got half of it now, and we go back in a month for the other half.....so she isn't fully protected until January. Mom fail. She ended up getting a total of 4 shots on Friday - 2 in each leg. Talk about miserable. I was so glad Matt was there with me. She was grumpy all weekend, can't blame her!
Saturday morning we got up early and went to the mall to finish our Christmas shopping. We got there at 9 and left at 11. It was AWESOME! No one was there yet! Clearly it was too much excitement for Halle...

Saturday night was r.o.u.g.h. Halle woke up at 1:30 AM and screamed everytime I tried to put her back in bed. So, mommy and halle went to the couch. She slept great, and I cleared out the DVR. She was up for the day at 5:30. I had major flashbacks to her first few days at home when she didn't sleep at all!!!
We stayed home from church on Sunday and napped.
Sunday night we had a bit of a run in with the cops. Our neighbors have weekly band practice....it's been going on for the last year. Generally it's just a waste of our time to call in a noise complaint because they aren't going to stop. Although there was that time that the woman of the house called me a bitch when I went to their door to ask them to quiet down, but that's a story for a different day.....
They started last night around 5 PM, ok no biggie. It's usually just more annoying than anything. By 630 they were still going strong. I went to Halle's room to put on her jammies and could hear the stupid lyrics, or lack thereof! (Anyone seen Ace Ventura Pet Detective? Imagine the scene where Ace goes to the concert at a club to meet some guy in the basement. All head banging and screaming into the mic....)ANYWAY, Matt was texting our neighbor across the street about it. Around the time I decided I had enough they said they had called the police to come make them stop. Thanks for saving me from being called names again :)
By the time they got there it had been going on for 2.5 hours and I wanted to bang my head against the wall. Matt went out to talk to the cop just to say thanks for coming out etc. Apparently the limit is like 60 decibles (or whatever) and they were at 59. Fan-freaking-tastic.

I hope that someday I can look back on this blog post when we are living in a mansion in the country and laugh about that one time we were all up in arms about disturbing neighbors :) Until that day comes I just wish for their basement to flood and their equipment to get ruined  i'll just grin and bear it!
