Mother's Day Weekend

We had a great weekend. Friday night we drove to San Antonio and went to Incredible Pizza with Martin's family - his Mom, Dad, sisters Jacqueline & Virginia, brothers-in-law (?) Ryan & Jonathan, niece Mia, and nephew Reid. It was equal parts fun and chaos with a little time to visit.

The kids came home with lots of goodies and so excited they were up until after 11:00 - which we just don't do. Because... the next morning they were up by 7:15. They still wake up early no matter how late they go to bed. But, that gave us a good start on the day. Martin's Mom made a great breakfast and we still had time to pet the baby goats and horse before we left for Austin.

We made the last 1/2 of Sydney's soccer game and then went to her end-of-season swim party. The kids had a blast while the parent visited and worked to stay cool - it was a VERY hot day on Saturday.

After the party, the kids went to their Dad's house for the night - the original idea was for them to spend time with him, but they ended up spending the evening with the sitter, oh well... It gave us a chance for a kid-free dinner out, which we're trying to take full advantage of before those easy kid free nights go away. We had a nice dinner date after I took a long afternoon nap and Martin did some shopping and chores - he's a great husband!!

On Sunday, we got the kids back early and went to church, then to lunch at Pappadeux's before spending the afternoon at Mom's house with Uncle Jeff. Mom got out and played soccer with us - it was great! She's an amazing woman.

We were all tired, so we came home and had a movie and popcorn night. Which meant that the kids and I went straight into the big bed and turned on the movie, Martin made us popcorn, and I pretty promptly fell asleep and took another three hour nap. This growing a baby thing is harder work than I remembered I guess :).
