Busy Busy Weekend (The one my B-day Didn’t land on Father’s Day)

As many of you saw my post about my b-day already but had to add it in my rap up … lol.  I had a rather nice day, I did work but my job is from home so I can’t EVER complain!  I did get a chance to get my toes done (She even put a little jewel on my flower on my toe – see below). Flan Rick picked up my fav dessert. Hard Cider which I get maybe once a year and a cute card!! Of course my camera too .

With Summer suppose to be upon us (In the PNW we have been having more rain then usual) the kids play with the neighborhood kids and I hate leaving the door open with the flies.  When Cole was 4 wks old I left the house for 2 1/2 hrs to come back to find out my front door was kicked in!  Yup we were robbed and the jerk broke my door & the screen door.  Well we fixed the door since I kind of needed that right away but the screen door didn’t get fixed until now.  Poor Rick I told him to just pick up a screen door he wanted a storm door.  Let’s say after 6 HOURS he got the screen cut and fit to our door, let’s just say he would have paid the $30 more for the storm door that was PRE-HUNG … lol.

Sunday was Father’s day, Rick sadly had to work so I took the boys with our church group to take your dad to the game day.  The boys love to go and the Rainiers is a fun minor league team.  Caden thought he’d keep score, you know in scribbles!

Sunday we also headed up to my dad’s to give him the peanut jar we made for both him & Rick.  They played down at the waterfront for a few minutes you know throwing my dad’s expensive rocks into the water … lol.

We are also back to swim class.  Sadly our regular teacher is teaching elsewhere for the summer.  We had a girl for Caden’s class that just started to be a teacher.  Poor thing I don’t think is cut out for teaching small children she was not in the playful mood and got a little pissy when the 3 and 4 y/o weren’t sitting listening to her.  They sadly didn’t have fun and either did she.  We can hope our next class will go better or it’s going to be a LONG summer!

Happy Wednesday, I’m having problems posted so this will hopefully be up sometime today … UGH.

Wow another weekend I think I sat down at one point!

It was one of those amazing weekends that kept us a moving!  Saturday was the day of stuff as much as you can in one day.  Saturday was a busy day at work and then some running around then off to a bouncy house party!  Since we live in the North West it of course rained but the kids had fun anyways!  It was a great time plus it was at a friends house that I haven’t seen since High School.

Then after the birthday party we head back home to meet Cole’s school at the Rainier’s Game.  Can I say again how much I love this school.  Our tickets came with a hotdog, chips and a drink.  The boys actually did really well.  Caden got a bit antsy but it was fun and for you who know me know I HATE baseball and I actually enjoyed it.

Then Sunday after church we headed to a friends house for a little play time.  I then thought we would go to a park. So after 2 places and a no go I thought what the heck let’s go to McD’s and the kids can play.  This is when I almost went postal!  There were around 20+ kids running screaming.  When a BIG dad came marching up to me screaming at me I need to check my kid and he was out of control and he threw a young kid?  I was WTF?  Cole is a lot of things loud and has tons of energy but I HAVE NEVER seen him throw a child.  Then the guy brought the mom over to me to show the back.  I made Cole apologize but I was beyond words.  If I was on my game I probably would have smacked the dad.  I talked to Cole and Caden later and he said in tears he never threw the kid.  He did trip and accidently pushed him.  I was so furious that guy made me feel so small along with all the NASTY looks I got from other parents that had no clue but immediately made my son the bad guy.  NEXT time dude you get in my face you’ll be on your arse!!

It was my turn to make dinner for the youth group at church so I whipped up a great potato soup (I added in some spinach to give them a little more veggies).  I know most of these kids only eat fast food so I love to make sure I give them something new each time it’s my turn.  The youth group leader came up to me on Sunday to tell me how much they enjoyed it! Got to love that!
