So, two weekends ago, the kids and I traveled to Minnesota while John stayed behind to get some stuff done around the house. The kids got a lo of grandma and grandpa time, while I went to the cities with some girlfriends and had a girls night. Samantha had a couple free night at a hotel in the Twin Cities, and we got a bunch of girls together from high school and had a good night of drinking and socializing. We all had a lot of fun, and it was so nice to hang out with them all.
The kids handled the trip really well, and did not want to go back home again. They were officially worn out, and slept most of the way back home. They keep asking me when we can go back to Grandma and Grandpa's house, it's pretty cute.
Our week was pretty steady between work, meetings, and buying a new car. Yep, that's right, we traded in my Regal and we got ourselves a 2012 Chevy Equinox. We really like. We needed the extra room and space, and we are much more comfortable in this vehicle. We hope to spend quite a few years driving this one around. The kids also enjoy not getting their legs squished in our little car.
This past weekend was pretty busy yet again. Yesterday, we ran some errands in the morning, and then we met Marie and Abby at the Midco Aquatic Center and went swimming for 3 hours. The kids absolutely loved it, and did not want to leave. We had some pretty tired kiddos after all that. We finished the evening at the Market Grille, and then went home and put the kids to bed. We were all pretty beat.
Today was John's birthday! We started it off with our typical church routine, and then came home for some naps. After that we headed out to Grandma and Grandpa's house to help in the Greenhouse and celebrate John's birthday.
Jim and Barb recently got new baby chicks, and the kids really enjoyed holding them and petting them. They were a big highlight. Also, Emma planted some carrots last time we were out on the their farm, and they are starting to come up already. Emma was super excited to go and see them. Other than that, the kids pretty much just ran around and played, and had a really good time.
For supper, we headed into Pancheros and enjoyed some supper with the birthday boy. Everyone had a good time, and we finished things up with a birthday cookie. It was a good day.
Happy 31st Birthday to a great husband and an awesome daddy!!!
