Happy Tuesday?!?!

Hello Ladies! I totally agree with Sara….I LOVE 3-day weekends, but man does it make it hard to come back to work! I wish every weekend was at least 3 days long! I had such a great weekend and did a lot….I know you are dying for me to recap it for you, so here goes:

Friday night…it was my turn to have a Girls’ Night Out because Scott had been away from home two nights last week. So, he told me to go do something with Kelli…so I took him up on it! Isn’t he a great Hubby? So, Kelli couldn’t meet until 8:00, so I went shopping at the Greene for a bit first and then went and picked her up. We went to dinner at Mama DiSalvos – a yummy local Italian eatery. It was very yummy. We both tried something new that we had never had before and it was very good. Then we went to the Greene to do a tad more shopping and then to a movie. We saw Fracture. It was pretty good. The boy in it is very cute….he was in the Notebook. Then I dropped her off at home and came home and crashed. I am not usually up that late!!!

So, Saturday morning….we all got up slowly (well, the kids are up at like 6:30 or 7:00, but Scott and I take turns dozing for a while) and Scott went to work for a while and I cleaned house. Then he came home and we all went up to the Greene. They were having a “Puppet Extravaganza” and they had tents set up in the courtyard where the kids made puppets, got their face-painted, got free balloons, saw magic tricks and puppet shows. It was fun for them. Then we got ice cream from Cold Stone Creamery….YUM! Then we came home and all took naps! Scott got up and went to PT practice. I got the kids up from their naps and gave them all showers/baths and then when Scott got home, we headed out again! We got dinner at Arby’s and then went to Downtown Dayton for the fireworks show! The music was horrible, but we had a great time! We put down blankets in a grassy lawn area and the boys went and got us funnel cakes and we had a great time watching the laser and fireworks show. Faith Anne wasn’t even scared…and Gracie loved it! It rained a bit, but there was a big tree in the lawn we were at, so we just sat under it until the rain passed. It was an enjoyable day!!!!

On Sunday, Scott had to sing in both services, so I got the kids up and ready for church and we headed off. There was only one person in the nursery, so I couldn’t leave her to go to class. So, I stayed with the kiddos for Sunday School, but I did get to go to worship. The music was WAY TOO LOUD….but good worship. And I am not a complainer…so, if I say that….there was a problem! LOL Oh well….it was still a great service. Beef preached and he did a great job. It isn’t all about me! Anyways, so after church we came home and changed clothes and then headed out to Scott’s Aunt and Uncle’s house for a graduation party. That was fun because we don’t get to see his family a lot. Isaac loves to run and play with his older cousins…and they all make over the girls as if they are the cutest things ever! We stayed there until early evening and then came home and took naps (that is what I LOVE MOST about weekends!!!!). We woke up and Scott decided to grill out…YUM. Then we just tinkered around the house. Oh, I think I watched Lake House. Sister didn’t like it…but I thought it was pretty good. It was definitely slow in parts, but cute story. I think I just like Sandra Bullock and Keanu Reeves so much, that is why it probably didn’t bother me as much. But anyways, that was Sunday!

Then Monday, we got up slowly again….and then Scott took Gracie to MIL’s house. She OFFERED to watch Gracie for us…I didn’t even have to ask her! She OFFERED to watch her while the rest of us went to the Red’s Game! My boss gave me tickets, so we had great seats. We had a really good time. The seats in front of us are also our company’s, so we had a good time with the family in front of us too. They caught a ball that was fouled off…more like CAUGHT it in her arm….but it was fun. Faith Anne did really good and didn’t get squirmy at all. It helped that I brought some things for her to do and it was a quick game. And Isaac loves that stuff. We bought them some accessories for their Build-A-Bear animals. Faith Anne got a purse (OF COURSE) for her bear and a pink glove, ball and bat. Isaac got a catcher’s outfit for his….it is ADORABLE. So, we had a good time there. On our way home we had decided to stop at Applebee’s for dinner, but when we called to make sure that was okay with Laura, she told us to come on to her house because she had cooked out a bunch of food for her boyfriend’s son and girlfriend. I would’ve rather gone to Applebee’s, but WHATEVER. We decided to go there, to her house. Rob – her boyfriend – was actually very nice to us. I guess he was trying to put on a show in front of his son. It was just weird…..but anyways. Scott’s dad also called and invited us over to his house, kind of. So, we ate at Laura’s and then went to Steve’s. Not a good way to end the day for me….but it is Scott’s family so I sucked it up! His dad and Patty (his wife) waited until Scott wasn’t in the room and basically accused me of not giving them pictures of our kids….like I did it intentionally. They were mean about it. I didn’t think of it until this morning…but the reason they don’t have a recent picture of Gracie is that we haven’t seen them since Christmas! So, whatever. They asked Scott about it when we were leaving and he blamed it on me too…..but he apologized later. I really don’t care. They don’t like me…I don’t like them….the less we see of them, the better!!! Bad attitude, I know. But that is how I feel. Why lie about it?

So, the weekend didn’t end as good as it started….but was still good!!! Oh, I didn’t tell you that at Isaac’s t-ball game last Thursday, Kelli’s son Logan was batting behind Isaac and his first at-bat, he hit it in the grass. In t-ball, the rule is you only run one base at a time, unless it goes in the grass. – then you can run as much as you want. Well, Isaac didn’t know that and Logan about passed him up…not good. So, the next at-bat, Logan hit it a ton and this time Isaac ran and ran all the way home…and fast! Logan got a home-run! Isaac was so excited for his friend!!! It was very neat…he is doing so good!!!!

Well, I better get back to work! You all have a great week – a short one – YAHOO! Love you all….and praying that Josy gets all moved in and settled!!!!
