Weekend Recap

Wow... Im blogging on a monday about what happened over this past weekend... I dont remember the last time that happened. However today, thanks to the crappy Santa Anas here in the OC, we are having a stay in our PJs, dont go outside, watch a million movies kinda day. Jack stayed home from school today cuz last night he had a fever and still isnt a million bucks today (Ill keep ya posted on that cuz I still have no idea whats wrong with him). But they had a lack of sleep kind of weekend. They didnt go to bed til almost midnight both nights and still woke up at the usual 730am. So I think between the weather and the lack of sleep he is now paying for it.

This weekend went by way too fast. But it was a good one. And for the first time in WEEKS maybe even months, we had NO parties or anything to attend. Next weekend it starts all over again though! Friday night was a good night. We went to Marc and Brandis for dinner and we had the best dinner EVER. Crab legs!!! MMMMMMM they were so good. We bought so much crab and all four of us felt sick after cuz we had eaten so much. Jack probably ate more than i did too but it didnt seem to phase him. That kids loves seafood. Then we played our usual Joker and Brandi and I FINALLY lost to the boys... I know, crazy huh?!?! They were so proud, so so proud. We had put the kids upstairs to watch a movie figuring they would fall asleep but they didnt, I was shocked when I walked up at 1130 to find them both still awake. O well, they will sleep in right? WRONG!! Both came waltzing into our room at 730am... BLAH!!! Luke went and got bagels and we went to Jacks soccer game. This was the first time Luke had been there for a few weeks and actually the first time he really got to see him play, NO MELTDOWNS!!! Its been so much better the last few weeks and Jack loves it now. Its really fun to watchh him and he is actually pretty good! This week they learned how to pull the ball back and do throw ins and he is getting really good at trapping. When they go to play their game Jack made sure he counted every goal he made and by the end, scoring the winning goal again, he had scored 7 goals! Only one was in the wrong goal but it didnt matter to him. He was one proud little boy and we were proud parents, he had done awesome that day and just to see him play instead of wanting nothing to do with it was a really nice change. However we didnt realize til the next day how bad the Santa Anas were that day. Jacks cheeks were so chapped and we all felt in in our head and our chapped lips. It was actually nice weather when we were out there, so we thought. After the game we headed to target then off to Fridays for lunch. By the time we got home both boys were asleep and Luke and I sat our butts on the couch and watched a movie for awhile.

Then it came time for the Boston/Tampa game (go Tampa) and everyone came over to watch it. Lindsay and i went to the store and bought stuff to make Tostada Pizzas with and I couldnt resist buying some pumpkins so I could make pumpkin seeds. Dinner was yummy. But then it was time to clean up and bring out my pumpkins!! The kids and I cleaned out the suckers while everyone else watched the game. And let me just tell you it was soooo worth the slime and pumpkin guts! I love pumpkin seeds. We all devoured them throughout the night.

The kids were having alot of fun with everyone too... coloring with J, the best artist ever, showing off for all the girls and just being goofy, arguing with Jeff, fighting Alberto, playing star wars with Gary and Bobby. The boys are obsessed with our friend Greg and he played with them and gave the shoulder rides all night. O and beer!! LOLBy the end of the night Gregs wife Nicola had asked Wy to come cuddle with her and he planted himself right in between them with his Mimi and bumbo and sat there forever, sharing cookies and kisses and just being sweet. We have the best friends... the boys love them. Maybe a little too much cuz they didnt go to bed again til almost 1130. Again, maybe they will sleep in tomorrow right? WRONG AGAIN!!! GRRRRRRRR! They were up at 7am again! Lucky for me I got up to get ready and headed to brunch with all the girls. It was so nice. Just those 3 precious hours of no kids was priceless for me. We went to El Torito grille and indulged ourselves in Mimosas, tacos, fruit, omelettes and so much good food. We sat there for over 3 hours. It was GREAT! I got home and planted myself on the couch while the kids took naps and Luke went next door to watch the Eagles game! Ahhhhh I loved every minute of the peace and quiet. After an Eagles victory and wide awake kids we headed to my parents to celebrate my brother Erics 40th bday!!! Can you believe he is 40! I have a 40 year old brother!!! CRAZY!!!! We also celebrated Brandis but she isnt that old yet, yet being the operative word lol jk Brandi!! Thats when Jacks sick spell started. He didnt want to do much but lay in Nanas bed. He didnt even eat dinner... and finalyl about 730 or so he started running a fever. So we left a bit early to get him home to bed.... and now here we are... a lazy sick Monday after a long relaxing weekend. A weekend that went by way too fast.... BOOOOOOO!!!! Wish us luck through the week... I think we will need it!!
