My aunt and uncle came into town Friday afternoon so we were with them for most of the weekend. Friday night we spent the evening at my Mom’s for dinner. Saturday morning we met up with them after they did the yard sale thing and did some shopping at Garden Ridge and the mall. The kids were on meltdown by 3 so we headed back towards home, picking up their birthday cakes on the way. Saturday evening was all about the birthday parties. They had a few family and church friends join them at Chuck E Cheese’s for a few hours. It turned out really well despite Mommy completely dropping the ball on inviting school friends. I’ve redeemed myself today by scheduling a play date for Emma and one of her best friends from school for Saturday. Here are a few pictures from the party.
Sunday we had Scott’s family over for dinner as Saturday was his dad’s birthday. After that, it was spent opening plastic toys all day and we cleaned out their playroom a bit. We went to choir and church last night and I was SO tired last night. All my late nights finally caught up with me and as much as I wanted to stay up, I just couldn’t. I honestly was asleep by 9pm. I can’t remember the last time I did that.
This morning I minimally helped Scott get the kids ready for school and he took them. I gladly stayed in bed until 8:30. I’m feeling better today especially since finding out tomorrow I have the day OFF and the kids DON’T. The plan is to clean up tonight and pay some bills so I don’t have that hanging over my head and then spend tomorrow morning doing…whatever I want. Scott will be sleeping from working tonight. Maybe I’ll take Lexi to school and then set up shop at Panera or Starbucks and do some writing/web browsing all morning with some coffee. Yes! I already can not wait.
The Girls look like they had a wonderful time at their party.
Enjoy your free time tomorrow…have a peppermint latte for me.
