I heart 3 day weekends!
We had such a fun weekend, it was hard to see it come to an end. This morning started with a bang by me shattering the coffee pot which caught on the loop of my robe and fell to the ground. Oh how I wish it were Saturday again!
Andy's birthday was Friday and after a special birthday dinner here with the girls he and I went to see Spiderman 3. I had low, low expectations which was probably a good thing. A friend was at the house while the girls were in bed (free babysitting) and I had a free movie pass, so I think not spending a paycheck on one evening out helped my attitude. I did insist on getting popcorn though, I can't help myself once I walk in the door and smell it. I actually enjoyed the movie and had a great time out with Andy.
Satuday we went to the St. Elmo community yard sale where I scored a dust buster for Lizzie. I've been wanting to get one for her for a while and was glad to find this one for $5. She now vacuums under the dining room table after meals. It's a great toy!! :) How else can I sneak in chores in a fun way!
Sunday I went to church with the girls while Andy "ran an errand". He saved up to get himself a wii for his birthday and they couldn't keep them on the shelf at Best Buy, but were getting a shipment in on Sunday so I encouraged him to be there when the doors opened at 11. I hadn't anticipated that so many people would ask where my husband was at church and I felt a bit awkward explaining that he was getting his new gaming system! My cousin Val came over that afternoon and we all played tennis, which was a great workout and a lot of laughs. After dinner with Val we had friends over to play the wii and we got another husband addicted and another wife rolling her eyes. LOL
I was so happy on Sunday evening, knowing that Andy would be with us one more day it was so nice.
Monday after a bit of a pity party over not having anything to wear and not really liking how anything fit (by me in case you are wondering) we ventured out to Target for some clothes. Andy was so awesome, he entertained the girls patiently while I tried on several tank tops and shorts. He was as determined as I was to help me find a swim suit (BLECK) and even took us to the mall so I could check out what Motherhood had. I didn't get a suit but did get some new shirts and a pair of shorts from Target. We made a picnic dinner and went to eat it at Coolidge park that night. It was so hot, much hotter than I had thought it would be so we didn't stick around for too long, but it was fun to be together and be outside.
I really loved having him around so much and for so long. What a great weekend without any real obligations. Back to the grind now and the awaiting laundry and mopping.

Hey, feel free to bring Lizzie's new toy the next time you come visit, I am sure we can find some dog hair that needs dust busting!

If you really need clothes I have some. I MIGHT even have a swimsuit that's black, halter top. It's a full suit though. Never been worn! I've never had a summer pregnancy! Drop me a line, maybe we could meet at the Stelmo playground.
