{18jan2010: weekend review}

The thing that sucks about deadlines at work that fall on a Monday, is that it gives the "extra" time on the weekend to keep working. 
That's how Darwin and I spent almost all day Saturday, at work.  Jason took Darwin to the park in the morning, and then dropped her off with me at the office while he went snowboarding (bastard).  She was surprisingly pretty well behaved while she was here, laid down and slept most of the time.  And when I took her across the street to pick up lunch and tied her to a tree outside, she didn't whine or bark, but stood there staring at me waiting for me to come back.  I was most impressed.  When we got back to the office she was a bit restless and did this:

She decided to pull out old paper from the recycle bin and help shred it.  It was a mess to clean up, but it kept her occupied for a good amount of time!

Sunday we headed over to Marymoor, and met up with her brother Boo!  As we were walking in the park we saw him and his brother Gino walking further ahead of us.  At first Darwin didn't see them, but as soon as she did she took off running to go play with them.  It was great seeing them romp and wrestle and run in such a big space.

For their first birthday coming up in a few weeks we're hoping to have a reunion with some of their other siblings.  That should be lots of fun to see how big the others have gotten!
