Friday - L and I were off to get ready for the weekend. I did errands while L worked on their cakes and went to get a pedi. We had the kids' party at their school and then L went to a graduation party held by her department while I went home to fetch my father and cousin and take them to the kids t-ball game. We went to dinner after.
Saturday - We prepped for the party from 6a-1:30p. Errands, cleaning, yardwork, more errands, baking, etc. It started to drizzle 10m before the party, but by the time the kids had played in the playroom and eaten, it had stopped and wasn't too wet out. The kids ran around the playground and park for an hour before everyone left. It ended up to be perfect - the kids and parents had a great time, the playroom wasn't too trashed, and the clean up was easy. We went to dinner at our Mexican place where the owner had a cake for the boys.
Sunday - Homework and getting ready for graduation. The graduation was nice and the boys did a good job during the 2 hr ceremony. We went to lunch and then I took the kids to Target to spend some of their birthday money while everyone else relaxed. My dad and cousin went back to the hotel and L and I were asleep by 9:30.
Friday - J found a listing for free kittens on CL, I went to pick one or two, came home with the whole litter of five. I'd planned on a movie/game night with the kids but we ended up at the IL's for all of 20 minutes before J couldn't handle chasing Apple anymore and we went home. We watched a few episodes of Breaking Bad and went to bed.
Saturday - I cleaned while J ran errands, put a movie on for Owl and Iz, put the kids down for a nap when the movie was done. We played outside when the kids woke up, then I made dinner. Bedtime for the kids, a few episodes of Breaking Bad for J and I.
Sunday - More cleaning/laundry while J met up with her groomsmen to get fitted for suits. J took the big girls to the IL's after her fitting, I played with the babies at home, almost napped, made dinner. Baths and bedtime when everyone got home, more Breaking Bad for us.
Friday night I ended up taking Mister Baby to the pediatrician because his fever was high and his breathing seemed shallow. They gave the all-clear on his lungs, ears, and throat, so I took him home and we spent a long night trying to make him comfortable and get him to sleep.
Saturday morning I had a couple of committee meetings so I went to those and picked up BBQ takeout for lunch. We spent the rest of the day just dealing with sick, cranky kids - I spent a lot of time sitting on the couch with a baby in my lap, watching BabyFirst. My parents brought over dinner, complete with sides and dessert. We gave the kids baths and they perked up and seemed to be feeling better by the time we got them down. Jen did the bills while I cleaned up and did some reading.
Sunday the babies woke up in a great mood, seemingly fine. I volunteered at a charity event all morning and spent four hours lifting kids onto and off of a bulldozer for rides. (I am very sore today.) When I got home Jen took Mister Baby to the library for a playdate and when Lady Baby woke up I took her grocery shopping. Had a lazy night watching TV and doing a few things to prep for the week.
Friday we had an easy night at home. We boxed up all the office things I need to return to my current job and then rearranged the office since most of the stuff was now gone.
Saturday we decided since the office was almost empty to move our desk and computer (now that we only have one) to the family room and turn the front room into a play room. Man does our house look empty now that their toys are in one room. Then my MIL came over to watch the boys while we went to an adults only dinner.
Sunday my MIL stayed to play with the boys. Sam wouldn't let her near him so that was fun. I ran errands while she was here to help M. Then I finished laundry and packed up the things in the garage for my current job. I didn't realize how much crap for them I had.

It was okay. I did get my steak dinner Friday night.
Saturday she worked OT, so the boy helped me make muffins for breakfast, and then we made cookies. I cleaned up the kitchen and did a few other things around the house while occupying him. My SIL's neighborhood is having a garage sale in a few weeks and my wife is going to sell our baby things there, so we took a load of stuff over and had a small cookout. The boy had his first s'more and let me tell you, that was a HIT. After that we took him to my parents' house and dropped him off for a sleepover.
Sunday she worked again, so I had the WHOLE HOUSE to myself. I did a bunch of cleaning (SO much easier without a 3yo underfoot), paid a couple of bills, and ordered a RoadID, which I've been meaning to do for a while but kept putting off. My mom dropped the boy off (asleep) around 2:30. He woke up around 3, I think, and my wife got home shortly after. We got some dinner and did our grocery shopping...and got supplies to make more s'mores.

Friday: I left work early to meet some garage door repair guys at home for a tune-up. While they were working, A arrived to spend the weekend with me. After the work was done, we went to pick up the party favors for E's party. Then we had dinner and drinks at a local spot that is new to us. The food was great and we loved the vibe.
Saturday: We picked up the cake for E's party and headed to the fun center. A and E's dad met for the first time and that went smooth. A was supportive as I needed her to be but stepped back so E's dad wouldn't feel she was horning in on things. E had a great time with her friends, we did the bumper boats and she rode with me so she could shoot water at her dad, we all ended up soaked, it was a fun time. Afterwards A and I dropped one of E's friends off whose parents had scheduling conflicts. Then we headed back to the local spot we'd tried the night before. They were hosting a fundraiser for the local high school scholarship program, so we ate and went home and snuggled on the couch with some Netflix.
Sunday: We slept in, made brunch at home, made a run to Costco and the pet store and just enjoyed domestic time together. Then A had to head for home and back to work last night. I talked to my folks and called it a night.
