Where does the time go???

Here it is Sunday night again, and it seems like it should be Friday. I really feel like I have been neglecting my camera- had plenty of good opportunities for pictures this weekend, but I never got it out once.

Thursday night, we did end up getting to see the high school production of Beauty and the Beast. It was good, but I could not enjoy it as much as I wanted to b/c I had a squirmy, talkative three-year old in my lap. Sadie has gone to multiple plays at my school before and sat still the whole time intrigued with the play, but not this time. She probably didn't sit still for 10 minutes combined the whole time. It was a super long play- 3 hours, so that didn't help. Brooks and I really enjoyed it, and I loved seeing former students playing some really great parts and doing a fantastic job with it. We got up and left before the end b/c I couldn't take it anymore. I felt like Sadie was bothering everyone around us. I think we only missed the last 15 minutes or so. But at least I got home in time to catch Survivor! ;-) Ryan got off early on Thursday, so he was able to go to Cobe's game with him. They lost 3-2 after a hard played game. He had another one Saturday afternoon, and they won 4-2, so that was a better outcome!

Friday after picking up Sadie from school, I met a girlfriend and her 4 kids at McDonald's for lunch and then we went to Brooks' storybook parade at his school. He was so proud to strut around the room as Darth Vadar. The teachers put on skits as well of 4 children's stories, so that was really cute to watch and Sadie sat still for that!!!!!! Cobe and Ryan headed to Sportsquest again, and then picked up Landon on the way home for the weekend. Brooks thought Eliot was going to spend the night, so he was pretty upset when he found out he wasn't coming until Saturday morning, so he got to have Jake over to spend the night. Sadie had Maya over too, so all 3 kids had a fun night with their friends. Jake and Maya went home Saturday morning, and Bailey and Eliot came over to stay until Sunday. My kids are always SO well behaved when they have friends to keep them entertained, so it was really an easy, laid-back weekend. I got them Beverly Hills Chihuahua to watch last night; it was cute, but nothing spectacular. They were all in bed by 9:00 (new time) and slept until 8:45 this morning, so I was thrilled with that! We were planning to go to Sunday School, but we all got up too late to get ready, so we got ready and made it in time for church. I had to help in nursery this morning, so my three kids wanted to help, and I'm so glad they did! They kept the kids entertained and cleaned up the whole nursery. It would have been much harder without them there. I had made a pot roast in the crock pot thinking we'd have 3 extra mouths to feed, but Lynette had picked up her kids before church, so we came home and had a lot of food to eat after church! Lynn had given me a great recipe for pot roast- it was super yummy! Tonight we went to Ryan's parents' house for dinner and had a good time seeing everyone- it seemed like it had been awhile. The cousins love being together- so much so that my boys went to Jen's to spend the night!

I have to work tomorrow my regular hours, but the kids all have the day off. Brooks and Sadie still have motor movement as well, so the day will be pretty normal. Already looking forward to another fun weekend next weekend! Cousin sleepover Friday night and The Grill House Saturday night!
