Our weekend (a few days late)

A few days ago I mentioned that Leon & I had a pretty cool weekend planned for our anniversary and his birthday. Well- we did!
You know that on Friday my puppy passed away. I didn't think I would even want to continue on my weekend. I couldn't disappoint my husband though. So, here we go.

Saturday- we went to the Big & Rich w/ Gretchen Wilson concert. We are huge country music fans. We've went to a GW concert before but because of poor timing and cold weather, we left before she was even on stage. Big & Rich sang our wedding song, "Lost in this moment" so we thought that was kind of cool. Anyways, the concert was the the Pontiac Silver Dome and it was HOT in there. The doors opened at 5 and we got there at like 6:30ish. Well a bunch of bands were up first and that took forever. I was irritated because there was a dumb guy next to me, it was hot, husband was tired and I really wanted to see the headliners! So at like 10:00 they finally came on. We were tired. We saw about 45 minutes of the show and then we left. I don't regret that at all. We missed all of the traffic and still got home at a pretty decent time.

Sunday- my mom & dad bought Leon and I a room at the Greektown Casino/Hotel. My mom was going to keep the boys for us and we were gonna have a night away. I was very excited. Not only do I love the casino but I love hotels. I don't know why. (My mom ended up not keeping the boys because the stupid storm the night before knocked out the power- mother in law watched them.) Our room was beautiful! We were on the 21st floor with a view of the Renaissance Center and the Detroit River. I also saw fireworks over the river just sitting on my bed. OH and I saw into Comerica Park during the Tigers game. It was nice. We had a nice dinner in greektown, gambled & just enjoyed eachothers company. The next morning, I woke up before husband and went to the casino to try and win our money back. And I did.

Monday- I picked up my boys! I was SO excited to see them. I missed them so much. We went to my parents and had a BBQ for Labor Day.

That was my weekend.

Today I started a mission. My laundry room. It is outrgeous. I really need to get that in order. Anyways, how is everyone?

Happy Sunday!

Happy Sunday!

Remember I mentioned here that I wanted to go to IKEA but I didn't mention it to husband? Well, I did. And? We went. We were supposed to have a sitter but that fell through and we ended up taking the boys. That was a mistake to say the least. I'll back up a bit. Before IKEA we decided to go to dinner. The 4 of us. A nice family dinner.... UM... that wasn't smart! What was I thinking? Before our food even arrived the boys were cranky and ready to go. Husband took them to the car and I got to go boxes. I knew right there we shouldn't have gone to IKEA. But... we were already basically there. It was across the parking lot. So. We went. Everyone knows once you get in the showroom (why we went up there, I'll never know...) you can't get out! I was so over it. The kids were crying. Husband was cranky. We ran! Fast. We needed out of there.

Here are some pics:

How was yours??

My weekend

I was supposed to be here for Saturday Morning Scene but I forgot. :-( Boo. I'm still trying to remember to be here & post more. So, maybe next week!

Anyways, here's our weekend! :-)

On Saturday while I was at work I decided we needed to get the boys outta the house! They are home most all day/every day. Except for when they are at my moms house or my aunts house. L & L always have eachother to play with but I want them to start getting out more and playing with other babies. Do you remember Nicky & Alex from Full House? Uncle Jesse wanted them to play with other kids when they were like 3 years old and by that time they only wanted to play with eachother. Anyways, I want them to get used to playing with others! I asked some friends if they wanted to take their little guy (He's almost 2) to go to Chuck E Cheese. They couldn't go so I asked my cousin to come and bring her daughter Ava. She's 19 months old. They hung out with her last week and they got along well. :-) Well, she decided to go. Sooo after nap time we loaded up the babies and went. As soon as we got there and got the babies settled into highchairs I took this:

It is SO hard to get a pic of the 3 of them. Well Chuck E Cheese was on the stage performing and they were amazed with him. I was happy they weren't scared! Soo, our pizza came & we ate. Leon didn't care for it but Logan did. After pizza, we went to the play area. Theres a toddler section now which I was so thankful for! Here are those pics.

We kept ending up back in the toddler section but we did venture out so the kids could ride the big kid rides and watch the biggest kid of all daddy play. They had a blast and I'm so glad we took them. However, I will not be taking them back for at least another year. They aren't quite ready yet.

Sunday was fun as well. We got to sleep in (when I say sleep in I mean.. 8:00) because the babies went to bed late (almost 10!- and they are usually in bed at 8 every night). Well, hubby went golfing with my uncle & I took the babies to Walmart. I said I was never going to take them again while I was alone.. but I needed stuff. And they? Needed a nap. My lord. That was a disaster. After Walmart I just went over my parents because they were going to be returning from their trip & wanted to see the babies. We spent some time over there then came home.

Over all it was a great weekend. We need more of those!

So on to today. I went and got my hair cut (finally!). I also went and bought the new foam hair dye and.. did it myself. Jury is still out on it. I'll post a picture when I get it all done. :-)

How was your weekend?

Here are some more Chuck E Cheese pics!

Happy Sunday!

I was gonna make a long post about random blah blah's but I will save it for another day. I have a pretty cool post coming up about what my boys & I do during the day. A pic play by play! :-) Should be fun. Anyways, I just wanted to post about our weekend.

Saturday was fun. After work the boys & I went to my aunts house to go swimming. L & L LOVE LOVE LOVE the bath swimming pool. See...

So, after we got home the hubs and I decided to watch Harry Potter & the Deathly Hallows Pt 1. I immediately wanted to watch Pt. 2. I thought we could do that today... we didn't. We went to my mother in laws house because she just moved and we didn't see it yet. We spent some time there... the hubs & I took my brother in law & we went downtown to MGM to play for a while at the casino while my mother in law watched the boys. They don't get to see her to often so I'm sure they appreciated the time with her.

So, that was our weekend. How was yours?!
