Saturday - L took the kids to the gym with her while I studied. We went to a MLB game with L's work in the afternoon and it was miserable. It was really hot and the seats were in the sun and the food was crazy expensive, and the computers were down so they could only take cash and even that was a pain. We left after the 7th inning stretch. By the time we left I felt horrible - the Metro ride home didn't help. Home for showers and a movie. After the kids went to bed, I watched Beasts of the Southern Wild. Really good.
Sunday - L took the kids to run some errands while I studied. Right after they got home, our neighbor called inviting us over at 3pm (she'd asked us last weekend if we wanted to come to dinner, so a 3pm arrival threw us off.) We got a quick lunch and did a few errands before heading over there. The kids were acting like fools, and after several reminders L took Carter home. Gray and I followed not too far behind. We had a relaxed night of reading and watching Food Network with the kids. I stayed up too late reading a silly lesbian romance novel.
Friday - I met K for lunch which was really nice. Then we took Jelly Bean to the movies for the first time. She seemed to enjoy it but is in no rush to go back. She'd have been just as happy sitting in front of the tv to watch 30 minutes for Dora.
Saturday - ran some errands and then just hung at home.
Sunday - more errands. More hoping these boys would arrive. Took JB to the pool which was fun and relaxing.
Friday: Took A to her dads, came home and watched TV, went to bed.
Saturday: Cleaned out the big girls room and separated their bunk beds, it took the whole day but their room looks much nicer.
Sunday: Cleaned the kitchen and living room, helped J build a tree fort for the kids. My sister, her bf and their kids came over and helped with the fort and played.

Friday: I flew to Scottsdale for a work meeting on Saturday. A dear friend I've known since the 4th grade picked me up at the airport and we went to her home. Met her husband and stepsons and their new baby boy. We had dinner and hung out chatting and catching up on each other. Then she drove me to my hotel. It was still 100 degrees out at 9pm!
Saturday: Up early for breakfast and the meeting. After the meeting it was back to the airport and back home to where it's green!
Sunday: Picked up E from her dad's in the morning. Did some laundry and chores and took E for a bang trim and to get groceries. In the late afternoon we went to see Monsters University in 3D. I didn't think the 3D was worth the extra $$ but the movie was cute. Afterwards we grabbed dinner at a seafood place and headed home for bedtime.

It was a fantastic and busy weekend.
Friday we picked up the Kiddos' new beds.
Saturday we cleaned house, then C and I went to a Grease movie sing-a-long. It was neat watching (partipating with) 5000+ people sing to the movie as the lyrics played across the screen. She had bought a new blanket and wine, food, and sweets. It was our first night out alone in over a year. I think I shocked her when I 'stole' a couple of kisses and held hands with her as we walked back to the car. (I am rare on the PDA's.)
Sunday we went sheet and matress shopping and had Don Pablo's for dinner.
Judging by the ease of putting the Kiddos down for bed last night, we did quite a lot.
