Weekend

Friday:
I left work early and had a yummy lunch with Lacey.  She gave me a great little gift for my birthday too.  Super nice to spend some time with her (outside of the salon!)  
That night, we utilized a new sitter (a gal from our church), and met up with Jess and Lex for a drink and supper.  Jess and I haven't really connected for awhile, since losing our parents...  I have been so down and hesitant about much lately, but it was a good couple of hours with our friends.  

Abby, the sitter, did well with the kiddos... however, Cora wouldn't go to bed for her.  Huge bummer.  So miss thing was up til about 10:15.  Oops.  

Saturday:
Another morning at the South Middle School gym for Kayson.  This Saturday's games weren't all that great though.  Our team was struggling...  struggling even getting the ball up the court.  Lots of taking the ball away (them taking it from us!)  It just wasn't all that fun.  Kayson got bonked in the mouth by the head of another player... so he had a little bloody lip for a bit.  It just was kind of a mess.  Not much fun.   Oh well - we move on.  They are 8. 

We headed home... got K showered up, and the kiddos packed up.  They headed over to Sioux City with Ryan's parents.  Mike and JeanAnn had planned to visit over there to watch Tate play a basketball game, so they thought it would be fun to take our kiddos, and even surprise Tate and Landry.  It all worked out... they got there safely, and Tate was SUPER excited and surprised to see Kayson.  (He was a little less than thrilled to see Cora first - but then saw K and he was pumped!)  so funny.  Anyway, they spent the day/night with them.  

After the kiddos left, I layed down and snoozed.  I've been tired, and just not 'into' much, so it was probably a good thing the kids were elsewhere.  Soon enough, Ryan wanted to go work out...  yes, I got off my ass and went too.  It helped... helped both of us.  We worked out, then got a salad and wrap from a local restaurant, and back home to get showered up. 

We decided to go see a movie - we saw "Hidden Figures".  Wow - what a wonderful movie.  So glad we took the time to do that.  After wards, we went to Cheesecake Factory and had a drink and just talked.  Again, really nice, and just what we needed.  We may or may not have purchased 5 pieces of cheesecake to bring home and eat over this week.  Yes, we did.  :)

Sunday:
We slept in.  Like really slept in - 8:40!!!  Holy crap. 
We hurried and got ready for our day...  headed to church.  Then we grabbed some lunch out, and did a few errands.  Then around 3:00 we headed to meet the kiddos and Ryan's folks about 30 minutes away.  The kids were excited to see us (me too!) - I missed them.  

The rest of the day was just played and some relaxing.   

It was a nice weekend...  I'm not nearly as pissed as I normally am that it's Sunday!  It's my birthday week...  eek - I can taste 40.  :)
