Tuesday!

So it's been over a week. I'm not too good at keeping this thing updated, am I? We had a really good weekend. It was very busy, but good. I left work early on Friday and picked the girls up early from school at 12:30. They were so excited to be "ditching" as Emma-Leigh would say. We went home and then a couple hours later met Mom, Dad, Tiff, Diane, Ayla and Jaidyn at Firehouse for lunch. After that, Tiff let the girls stay with me for awhile so she, mom and Diane could get pedicures. That was fun for all 4 of them. I enjoyed having them all over playing together. Friday night we walked to the Civic Center for Brandon's graduation. When I say walked, I mean walked..like a mile. We had to park so far away! Both parking garages were full! It was crazy, but we enjoyed it. Congrats to Brandon! Saturday morning we hung out at home until about noon and went to mom and dad's to meet everybody and then Tiff decided we should go to Chimney Rock. So we went! Jennifer's birthday party was at 4 so we were really pressed for time but went away. I wasn't crazy about going but once we got there it was good. The girls got ice cream right away and some of us got real food and sat outside by the river while we ate. It was very peaceful. We did a little bit of shopping, Madison got a snow globe and then we were on our way back home to rush to the park for Jennifer's birthday. Tiff, Diane and the girls stopped by for a few minutes so Jaidyn could ride her big wheel and then they left. They were all cooking out at mom and dad's that night, but Brandon had cooked for us so we didn't go. Damion called us shortly after that and we met him and Shawn at FPS to clean. Then they had another job to go to but called not too long after that and we met them at Apollo Flame. April had already gone and taken Abigail to meet her parents for dinner so she didn't join us. Sunday, the guys did Open House. It was yucky and rainy and they had not a single person show up. It was okay though. They were able to clean the windows and they look much better now, so not a total loss. Before that, we met mom, dad, Tiff, Diane, Jaidyn, Ayla, Brett, Sarah and Riley at Beef O'Brady's for lunch before Tiff left to go back home. After Damion's Open House we went to Ryan's for nana's 80th birthday! We had a fun-filled weekend and are looking forward to this weekend when it will be time for us to go to the lake for the first time this year!! There is nothing but rain in the forecast but hopefully that will change as time gets closer. EOG's are this week for Madison. She was able to get up early enough to eat chocolate chip pancakes this morning. That doesn't happen very often. I was very pleased! okay, that's it for now!
