This will be a bit of here and there and everywhere but you get the point!
This morning I wake up early because I went to bed at 10pm. I get on the computer to update my blog and notice the boys are still not up. They slept until 8:30. That was so nice!
Yesterday we dropped the boys off at the SS Noah drop in daycare so we could do some grocery shopping in peace and they could have fun playing.
Joe and I had a really peaceful shopping trip and the store wasn't even crowded. We found a lot of awesome deals and stocked up on a lot of stuff for our pantry like canned fruit and veggies.
After the shopping trip we went home to put away the cold groceries and then decided to go out on a lunch date. I talked Joe into going to a Thai restaurant. He talked me into agreeing to not go to any more fast food restarants this month. I agreed.
The place we went to was this really small restaurant near Justin school. The food was marvelous. We both got drunken noodles and it was soo soo yummy. It was so nice to have a relaxing Saturday with Joe. Every Saturday this year has been quite busy and full of errands. It was nice to have one to just kick around and relax.
Friday evening before we went grocery shopping to store #1 I wanted to tape a show on tv. I hunted all over for the remote control and it was no where to be found and Joey was the last one with it.
When we got home from shopping we all searched again and could not find it. This made Joe really ticked off because it's March Madness (basketball) and he could not watch it in digital quality on his big tv because the remote for the cable box was no where to be found. Even if we turned on the cable box manually it was on station 13 and his digital chanel was in the 3000 range!
Finally that night before I went to bed I checked one more time in the closet, on the floor and decided to stick my hand INTO the couch and I felt something hard. THE REMOTE!! I walked so I could see Joe, waved the remote and he practically smiled ear to ear. He was so happy I found it. He was sure it was lost forever! I was just glad to have found it!
Thursday this week it was 71 and I actually was sitting in my office saying to myself, 'Jeez, that breeze is COLD'. Has my blood thinned or what?!
About two weeks ago we'd have one really nice day in the 70s or 80s and then the rest were in the 60s or 50s. The weekend was always the worst and normally in the 40s!
Finally this week every since day has been in the 70s. It has been sooo sooo nice here in Texas. The trees have been flowering for about 2 weeks now. The bushes are getting ready to flower. The trees are starting to get their leaves. I love spring!!
Thursday this week we made steak, rice and broccoli for dinner. Justin ignored the steak and rice but ate an entire bag of broccoli. I can not believe how much that boy LOVES broccoli!!
Joe has taught Justin to answer the ? "Who is the greatest band in the world?" and Justin yells "Metallica!!" It's really funny hearing that coming from a 2 year old.
Joey started T-ball practice last week. This week was week 2. He's really enjoying it.
This week was also spring break. Joey had no preschool. I kept Justin home every day this week except Thursday. Monday and Tuesday Justin had a cold so that's why I kept him home. Wednesday we had a park lunch date planned so he stayed home with me and went to that and entertained Joey.
Thursday he went to daycare. Friday he stayed home with me and I noticed he had big blisters on his behind. Another trip to the doctor and they said he had a staff infection on his behind and gave me medicine to put on it to get rid of the bumps.
This week I met Vicki, which is Ethan's mom. Ethan and Joey go to the same school. Monday this week I did a lunch date with the boys are McDonalds. After we got there to play Joey ran off with his friend Ethan, who also happened to be playing there. After we were getting ready to leave I found Ethan's mom and told her I would love to do a playdate with the boys.
We set one up for the next day since we had already planned to do a lunch date at the park in Frisco. We tried to meet there but since it was Spring break there were about 100 kids in that park. We decided it was a bit too crowded and went back to a park in her neighborhood (which is nearby where we live too!).
The kids enjoyed the park and we also had lunch. Afterwards Joey begged to go to Ethan's house and so we did for a little bit. Vicki and I got along really well. She has two boys as well. Ethan is a month younger than Joey. Holden is a month older than Justin.
Friday this week we got together again with a lunch playdate at our house. That was nice too as we were able to talk a bit and let the boys just run around and play in the house. They also went outside and played a bit.
We didn't do anything exciting for St. Patrick's day. We never do, I guess.
Jason and Caroline will be visiting us for 5 days with their daughter Sabrina and arriving on April 1st. I can't wait!!!!
