This past weekend was insane! We were so busy, and sleep deprived, it was incredible. It all started on Friday, when I took the kids to Brain Play at the zoo after work. We spent a solid hour and a half playing with all the toys and activities. They had a blast. Elliott was devastated to have to leave. I told him it was closed, and he repeated that phrase the whole way home, driving Emma crazy in the process. It was pretty cute.
After the zoo, we went home for supper, and then headed to a stampede game. John got some free tickets from a co-worker, so all four of us headed to the game. The kids actually did very well. They were pretty wiggly, which is expected, but they really were interested in the game, which surprised us. They both loved all the lights, music, and of course the players skating around. They both did very well, and we lasted the entire game, so it was a great outing.
On Saturday, the kids went out to Jim and Barb's to spend the night while John and I headed to Brookings for some basketball with our college friends. It was a double header with both the boys and girls playing, and they both won. We watched some good basketball games. After the games, we stayed for the wresting match. I have never been to a wrestling match before, and I was sort of lost through the whole thing, but it was kind of fun to see.
We headed to Buffalo Wild Wings after the match, and then visited with some drinks back at the hotel. It was very nice to hang out with everyone, and we had a really good time, but we didn't get back home until 3:30 am. It's been a long time since I have been up that late, and it kind of kicked my butt.
Luckily, we got to sleep in on Sunday, but we were still pretty tired most of the day. John went and got the kids at about lunch time, and then we all took some well-deserved naps. Once we were rested up, we headed to Polzin's for a Superbowl Party. The kids had an absolute blast playing with all the toys and the other kids. They played so hard. The adults enjoyed some good food and beverages, and a good football game.
The Patriots ended up coming back from a 3-28 point deficit, and winning the game in overtime. I'm not really a Patriots fan, I wanted the Falcons to win, but it was a pretty incredible game. Lady Gaga performed at halftime, which was an okay show, and there were some good commercials. But, it ended up being a late night because of the overtime, and both kids were up until about 10:00 pm. Yikes! It made for kind of a rough Monday for all of us.
Right now, both kids are sleeping, and this momma isn't too far away either. It's been a LONG day, and I am ready to snooze away!!
