We are back to Monday and it is somewhat of a relief after enduring yet another weekend that left me feeling exhausted. And it doesn't look to be letting up any time soon. We are a very busy people and I'm not sure how to apply the brakes. At least this weekend, it wasn't just me. Yesterday afternoon, we took the kids + friend roller skating. They were all begging to leave one hour early, citing tiredness as an excuse. We had to practically drag Kenny off of the rink to leave after he kept saying, "Just one more time around..." about ten times. He is so funny out there: the tall "kid" amongst children. He'd go as fast as he possibly could, swooshing past the poor elementary-aged kids who were just trying to stay upright and scaring the bejesus out of them. I just love watching him when he gets the chance to "play". The playground at the park is equally as entertaining.
On Saturday, we threw Meghan's bridal shower. I know, just the term 'bridal shower' makes you yawn, right? WRONG. Add about twenty bottles of wine and chocolate moustaches amongst a group of women wearing their Sunday best and you have nonstop laughter that lasts the entire day. This was great and wonderful and from here on out, every bridal shower that I attend will only be a disappointment. Though, looking back, it might also have something to do with the company. What a great bunch of gals!
Saturday night through Sunday afternoon, Mae and her friend were nearly impossible to keep up with but I tell you what...they are so hilarious! But you have got to keep an eye on them. Right away, they said they were going outside to play. Less then one minute later, I peeped outside to check on them and Mae was rolling down the hill in our trash barrel!! I told her that was not safe and she wasn't allowed to do it again and of course I got eye-rolls out of both of them. About two minutes later, they came inside, grabbed the insert out of the dogs kennel (which is basically a two foot by three foot piece of plastic) and headed back outside. Again, I checked on them and this time they were "sledding" down the rock hill. Again, they got in trouble. But I questioned my own self at that point and I honestly can't tell you if I was watching out for their safety or if I was jealous about the great ideas they kept coming up with.
Another sign that we're getting old: Kenny rented a movie last night. I looked at the title and decided a horror movie was a great idea. We waited for the kids to go to bed, popped some popcorn and put the movie on. About one minute in, we realized we'd already seen that movie. It's the one we'd rented last weekend. (But I was immediately suspicious that Kenny did it on purpose because as soon as we declared it a re-run, he grabbed the remote, shut off the movie, switched it to ESPN and yelled, "OH YEAH, FOOTBALL!!!!...hmm...)
