Here it is Sunday night already. Man....the weekend goes by so fast.
Friday night the girls both stayed overnight at friends homes. I ended up having a terrible headache and rented movies and had pizza from George and Nick's. (All you that live far away..be jealous. It was amazing!) We watched the movies Sister and Daddy's Home. Both are hilarious. You can't be easily offended and need to have a sense of humor. Two characteristics that Nic and I each have....thankfully.
Saturday morning after girls came home we headed to Des Moines. It was a peaceful ride up once Kanon and Kaydee fell asleep. Lol. Our first stop was to get Kaydee a new bat. Then we had lunch at Cracker Barrel. Who knew that by sharing a Root Beer and being told to only order 1 pancake would create such drama. Well it did! Can you say nap needed?! Oh and that drama was started by our 9 year old. Then we stopped at Kohls so Kenly and I could get new sandals. I actually hate buying new shoes. I can't stand breaking them in. I will wear shoes till they have holes....no joke! Which is why I had to get new ones. My black ones I have been wearing have a hole that has given me blisters. Ridiculous I know but it's my deal not yours. Then we headed to Dick's sporting goods. This gave us a few chuckles if you can imagine. Again a sense of humor is required in our family. Then we went to Wal-Mart to purchase my new pots and pans! I've been needing and wanting a new set for so long. We went back to the mall so Nic could check out some more bats. The girls begged me for a pedicure. I am so glad Nic talked me into getting one. It was so relaxing. The girls just loved it and seeing them giggle and smile the whole time made it so worth it. The entire time I was getting mine all I could think of was the scene from the movie Sisters. HEY-ONE....HAY-WON. HAHA...you had to of seen the movie. We ate at a new restaurant (to us) in Carlisle called Stadium View. I had a Tenderloin and fries and they were very good. See people I don't just get chicken strips and hamburgers. There was a large group of people in there that ordered tons of pizza and shots. Not sure what their plan was but for 7 pm and drinking that hard they sure wouldn't be lasting long.
Sunday I was able to sleep till 8. I think that is considered sleeping in when you have 3 kids and 1 of which is 9 months old. We headed to Chariton to eat at Carpenter Hall. The buffet was amazing!!! More food then one should consume. The place was packed! We headed to the funny farm. The girls tried out their new bats. The girls played outside while I was being forced to watch Parent Trap by Jacinda. She said it was better than watching baseball. (Only reason I allowed it was because they were losing.) We arrived home and Nic cooked supper. Then we headed to Nic's parents to hang out. All Kaydee wanted was ice cream. Isn't it funny how all kids get ice cream at their grandparents home. After getting all the kids tucked into bed we were able to put up my new pots and pans.
I do have a few finally thoughts for the day. A mom never really gets the day off. There is always laundry to do, toys to be picked up, diaper to be changed, kids to be fed, and baths to be given. I know many mom's who would give anything to change 1 more diaper, feed their child, give their kid a bath. I go to bed tonight knowing I tucked in all my kids and thankful I was able to be mom. Even on a day to honor us. After all, we wouldn't celebrating this day if it wasn't for them. I am so thankful for this life I have been give and this title called mom.
