Mother's Day (Weekend)

So, I know I'm a little late with this post.  It's been a little busy around here... but I had an amazing weekend and I wanted to post about it.

First of all... Saturday and Sunday ended up being Mother's Day/Birthday for me... it was heaven... I went to my parents house to work for a little while in their office while Jer went on his 18 mile run with his sister Amy.  We went to take the very colorful (I mean... green, purple, orange, pink, yellow, etc..) flowers to Great Grandma Wilcox for Mother's Day.  Then we went home, let the kids nap... I napped... cleaned a very little... then we went on a date.  I had a free meal at Tucanos for my birthday, so we went there... and they had a Mother's Day Special going on.  Shrimp and Filet Mignon... yum.  Then we went and redeemed the gift certificates that we had left over from last years anniversary for massages.  Again... heaven... then we went and bought a couple of last minute things for the baby... like replacement nipples for all our bottles, a bottle brush, breast pads, etc... and thanks to the coupon my mom gave me all of it cost us a grand total of $13.  Nice.  Then we went to browse at Barnes and Noble where I found a nice air conditioned spot and the worker let me sit in a chair there and read.  Then we redboxed The Tourist and watched it at home.  I laughed really hard.  It was fun to watch... had a little too much of her brooding after Alex for most of the beginning of the movie, but it was fun.  Jer was up with the kids in the morning, cleaned up Sammy's pee in his bed, got kids bathed and dressed for church... before I woke up.  Then we ate crepes for breakfast, put kids in bed for their nap and listened while Ada sang the 1812 overture instead of napping... But the minute that Jer got out the video camera to record it... of course she stops. Church was very nice.  Sammy was happy in nursery and kept talking about the bubbles... Jer did a good job playing the piano for the Senior Primary, and my favorite... Ada sang in her very first Primary program.  She kept smiling at us and then pretending to be shy, all the while singing all the words of the songs that she'd learned.  Way cute!  Called my mom and Ada sang her a couple of songs without having to prompt her... then we went to Jer's parents house for dinner and to take Judy a present of her own.  We had fun.  Especially since Amy and Jon, John and Diane, and Becca and James' families all made appearances throughout the evening.  I finished up the crochetting projects that I was trying to finish before Evelyn was born... and we ate some very yummy Amy cookies. 

Thanks for the weekend Jer, and everyone else!  I thoroughly enjoyed every minute of it.
