Friday - nothing. I picked up personal pan pizzas the kids had earned from a school reading program and we played Just Dance on the Wii. L and I were asleep by 9:30. We live big, ya'll.
Saturday - L ran a few errands while I waited for the carpet cleaners to come. Then I took the kids to swimming lessons, to do errands, and out to lunch. L put the kids in childcare at the gym while she got her hair cut and I went to get L's gift. Met up for dinner and then home for more Wii dancing.
Sunday - L worked on her taxes while I putzed around the house doing stuff to get the house ready for ILs. Went to lunch, did some errands, went to get Gray a Wii game he'd saved for, got home and it was the wrong game. Grrrr. So I headed back to the mall while L got the kids fed and ready for the week. I stayed up entirely too late to watch the Oscars and at 11:30, finally gave up and went to sleep.
Kids were up at 5:30 this morning to play the new game. Mama wasn't pleased. I am dragging today.
Saturday: The kids and I painted the coop and played on the swing and rings that J put up, we watched the UFC fights and watched a few episodes of Lip Service on Netflix.
Sunday: I tried to get the kids involved in cleaning the house but it wasn't working the way I had hoped so they watched a movie while I cleaned. I rearranged the big girls room and did a bunch of laundry.
our weekend went super quick. Friday was...I don't remember - typical. Saturday we had a lazy morning, DW took RB to dance class and when she got back I was supposed to head to a blogging seminar. but, Daisy was having a hard time breathing and coughing non-stop so I had a minor panic about her. Eventually I found the right combo of meds to get it under control and went to my seminar late. DW and the kids had friends over. After the seminar I grabbed drinks with blogger friends and then went into the office for a late night.
Sunday Daisy was mostly back to herself. I had an awkward convo with my mom. I took Daisy to run errands while the big kids played at home with DW. Shortly after lunch we had plans to meet up with friends for bowling but Daisy fell asleep so I stayed home with her while the others went to bowl then we all met up at a play place for ice cream and playing. Quiet night at home, watched the Oscars. I liked Argo, but I don't think it deserved all the awards and now I'm really sad I haven't yet seen Life of Pi. To-do list for this week.
Friday night we went to the melting pot for cheese and chocolate ( darn no meat Fridays) Then we went to see a concert of two fiddlers that we love.
Saturday Carol worked overtime ( 8 am to 11pm) so it was just Annie and I all day. We were both overtired ad crabby so there was a little more yelling going on than I would like. I am not sure how else to convey for the 98th time that she can't do her gymnastic tricks on the stairs. She fell asleep in her chair at the dinner table so we both had an early bedtime.
Yesterday we went for lunch and then took Annie to build a bear. Every year she gets the St Patricks day bear. We get them a little early so we don't miss it. Then Carol went to work, Annie went to her Nana's and I went to sleep before I worked last night.
It was equal parts completely fantastic and utterly exhausting. I had my music teacher training all day Fri, Sat, Sun. I "passed," learned a ton, and had a blast. I am pinching myself that I get to do this as a job. So fucking awesome.

So I'm assuming our next east coast gtg will be a music class, right?

Friday night I drove to A's after work. We had dinner at a place A hasn't been to in a while. Lots of cuddling and catching up on things. It was great to be back in her arms.
Saturday/Sunday: A woke up with a migraine on Saturday, so we spent much of the day being lazy and her trying to get rid of it. Sunday was more of the same, just resting and spending quiet time together. There are more potential shakeups/moves on the way at her work, so we talked about the possibilities and are hoping for the best. She had to go back to work last night and I came home to get ready for the week.

Friday: I worked and waited for DW to arrive.
Saturday: My birthday! We went to an awesome thrift store, antique store, the mall. Had lunch. Came home and napped. Got all dolled up for The Melting Pot and dancing with Friends. Got home about 3a. Yes, I wore those shoes for 6 hours.
Sunday: Took dogs to the groomer. Had lunch at Red Robin. Julie went home, and I did inventory at the coffee house.

i think friday was chill at home have a beverage - cant remember
Sat was M's shopping day i stayed home with kiddos and then we all went out to see a roller derby bout .. It was fun- M was disappointed that she could not sit and watch the game ( DUH you have 19months old) sometime i am so perplexed by her process? So they ran around we had a few beers kids did not go to bed till 10pm
Sun - was awesome .. I met my doppelganger (not really looks wise similar ) but we pretty much did lots of things at the same time and both have twins-so we went out t breakfast it was agood time and delicious. then lazy afternoon and dexter marathon and walking dead ( I hate andrea on walking dead dumb bitch )
Went to the movies while my parents watched the kids (Silver Linings Playbook sold out, so we saw Identity Thief), a little shopping, watched the Oscars, fed the babies messy food, cleaned up, participated in some life-affirming recreational activities

For N2A
Friday: I was able to read the Kiddos their new Hugless Douglas books, which I was glad and they were happy.
Saturday: Steel oats for breakfast, a quick Caillou episode, some play, a quick pack and then C and the Kiddos took me to the airport. The flight was short, taxi drive quiet (I am not keen on a talkative driver). Hotel room was FANTASTIC with a great view.
Sunday: Quite an interesting meeting. My friend from the Phillipines brought me a gift, and it was nice to see my international colleagues. Arrived home early enough to play with the Kiddos right before bed (they went to bed a little late). Somewhat jokingly, I asked my wife if she wanted to go to "bed" ;-) ... to which I got the reply, "I would prefer to spend quality time with my wife." OUCH!
We ended the evening watching the West Wing with me falling asleep halfway through the second episode.

I went to NYC this weekend to visit one of my good friends. I had a great time - we went to the Guggenheim and the NYC transit museum, got gluten-free mac and cheese at S'mac, grabbed drinks with another friend in Brooklyn, and did miscellaneous exploring and eating. I was glad I made time to do the trip - all I've been doing is working lately.
