weekend review.

i love holiday weekends.  this one was particularly busy and fun because the kids were off school on friday, my parents and brother came into town, and we had wedding festivities for our friends michael and kalli all weekend.

friday i stayed home with the kids and brought them to the splash pad (or just "the splash" as ek calls it) with some friends from school.  super fun.  we got home right after noon and my fam arrived at the same time we did, so that was super fun.  jb got home from work and he and i got ready and headed down to town lake for a bat cruise/rehearsal dinner.  super fun.  austin is pretty.

saturday, jb did some wedding stuff in the morning while i hung out with the kids and my family.  when they went down for naps, mom, joe and i got out for a bit so i could get a mani/pedi (this NEVER happens) and they could do a little shopping.  then jb and i headed out for a cocktail party and night at a hotel.  we pretended like we were 24 again and had a hotel room for the night.  if i were smart, i would have just gone to bed at like 8 and gotten 14 hours of uninterrupted sleep.  apparently, i'm not that smart.  but, we had a blast.

sunday we got home and i took ek to disney on ice with alison and cameron.  she was a little freaked out about it - it was loud and dark and occurred during nap time - but she hung in there for the whole show and was wide-eyed when telling the rest of the family about it when we got home.

the wedding was sunday evening at a restaurant called green pastures and it was very nice.  great band, good food, lovely venue.

thankfully, monday was stormy, so after my family headed out, we built a fort in the middle of the living room and were lazy all day.  it is extremely rare that i have a day with zero productivity, but monday was one of those days and i loved every minute of it.  ek was a little cranky, as she was still sleep-deprived from her fun weekend, but she held it together as well as she could.

i want four-day weekends every week.
