Well, I think we outdid ourselves this weekend. In just 2-ish days, our weekend included (and not in this order):
- 2 Indians games
- A date night
- Cookie baking
- Muffin making
- A visit to a new local bar/brewery
- A block party
- A family birthday dinner
- A 5K race
- A nature walk
See what I mean? I didn’t even include work, which took up a few hours of my weekend as well! Good thing I like being busy.
Friday night started out with a date night! B and I went to the new Southern Tier and grabbed drinks. I of course had to get a Pumpking- they had a coffee stout kind that was amazing!
We will definitely be back.
After that, we were off to the Indians game! This is our 9th game of the season together.
It was just the 2 of us at the game for the first time all season! It was nice to just relax and enjoy the game.
Saturday morning FW and I let LM and B sleep in, so we started off the morning by making muffins!
Later in the morning, we took a walk to the nature center. It was packet pickup for a race we had planned for Sunday. FW enjoyed checking out the turtle.
And then we went fot a short nature walk.
That afternoon included some cookie baking.
And then we took said cookies in our wagon and headed to our block party!
Everything was really kid friendly. FW loved the chalk.
And the donut game- you had to try to eat it on the string without any hands!
There was also a game that involved eating whipped cream with no hands.
And an egg toss.
Not a bad block party, right?
Sunday morning started early with a 5k race around the Shaker Lakes.
It was my first race pushing the stroller the entire time – B pushed LM and I pushed FW – and it was fun!
My goal was to do under 10 minute miles and we did it – so I was happy.
In the afternoon, we headed to another Indians game. This time, with FW.
After the game, it was time for dinnernat B’s parents’ house. We celebrated his birthday with his favorite- steak for dinner and chocolate cake with chocolate frosting for dessert.
And that’s a wrap! Some questions for you:
- Do you like chocolate cake?
- Did you get to do any races this weekend?
I’m linking up with the weekly wraps

Congrats on your 5k! I don’t think I ever did one with a stroller! I’m sure it was fun and sub-10 with a stroller is really great!
Wow that is quite the packed weekend! At least it was packed with just awesome things:)
Congrats on your race and pushing that stroller the whole time. That is no joke! I raced this weekend as well and saw a few people with strollers. I love this time of year when all the pumpkin and fall flavors come out. That coffee stout sounds delicious.
I love chocolate cake! I love flourless chocolate cake the best! What an awesome weekend!
You made muffins AND cookies?! And ran a race? And all that other stuff? #rockstar
That donut game looks awesome! Love your son’s jammies
and now I want a cookie!
What an awesome weekend. I’m exhausted just reading about it! Happy Birthday to Brian!!
Congrats on the 5k race! I think that is an excellent pace while pushing your big guy in the stroller! The block party sounds great, especially with it being kid friendly. We used to have fun parties at our first house. Sadly, our second neighborhood was (is) very different. Thanks for linking!
That does sound like a busy weekend, especially when you have littles! Of course I love chocolate cake – basically anything chocolate is my friend 🙂 (except for those weird insects-dipped-in-chocolate sort of things) And no races for me, but I just signed up for Boston today! We’ll see if I actually get accepted or not. Hope you can enjoy some more amazing summer weekends like this one!
Ahhh good luck with Boston!!!
