Weekend Update

It was yet another fast and furious weekend. My darling mum had a birthday last week, so we had lots of celebrating to do. Friday night, my sis and I took her to dinner at Tamayo (*drooool*) and then we went to see Sex and the City 2. It was a fun flick and FULL of laughs.

Saturday we went for a hike (first of the year). There were four adults and four kids. You might think that'd be chaotic. And you'd be RIGHT. 4 miles in like 2 hours and that's because Matt and I ran uphill for .75 miles to GO GET THE CARS. And that makes it sound bad, but really it was fun. Tabby hiked a lot of it, Ben grumped (he's still sick).

After the hike and lunch, we put the kids down for naps and I got “girl time” with one of my best girls, Holly. We went GROCERY SHOPPING while our husbands assembled MY HUSBAND'S new ginormous toy (I know you're dying to see it). The kids started waking up about 30 minutes after we left, so it was peppered with distress calls as well. We're planning to abandon them sometime soon for REAL girl time. Then we made pizzas for a big crowd … our families, my parents, sister and our neighbors (who were also helping!) and their grandkids. Lotsa work, but lotsa fun. We ate outside.

Sunday Kelly and I went to the gym only to find out our fave instructor was off in the mountains. We put up with the sub (she was good, really) for a while, but it was TERRIBLY hot in the room, so we finked out on the second half and phoned in some conditioning instead. What? We did TEN burpees (with pushups). Of course after that, it was time to do our bit for the economy, in the form of a $200+ trip to CostCo. You're welcome, Mr. President.

Then the kids had naps while I worked on the new webdesign site (it's going slowly). Later that evening, we went to my parents for a fab home-cooked meal to celebrate mum's birthday. I think (hope) we spoiled her proper.

All too soon the weekend is gone. Hope your's was lovely and slow as molasses.
