Friday - After a crazy day at work, we went for Mexican (fish tacos and margaritas make me feel better. Mmmm.) Our neighbors were there, so we ate with them which was fun (and made me happy we don't have to eat with a 22m old any more!)
Saturday - Was planting day at the kids' school. We built a few gardens for summer camp kids to tend over the summer. It was so hot. Home for showers and then out to lunch. During lunch, Gray said he didn't feel well and wanted to go home vs going to a movie. So we went home and had a very lazy day. Kids actually fell asleep before 8.
Sunday - Grayson still didn't feel well and Carter said his throat hurt, so L trucked them over to urgent care while I studied for my certification exam. Evidently one dose of ammox makes people feel a whole lot better so we went to see Epic, get new summer Crocs, and have lunch. I put the playroom back together from using it as a guest room for L's parents and cleaned out the garage for a bit. Thankfully, the thunderstorms rolled through before bedtime and both kids were asleep before 8. L stayed up till 4:30am working.
Friday: my wife went to her sister's house to finish getting ready for their garage sale (she took all of our baby stuff over there to sell). I hung out with the boy and did some cleaning.
Saturday: she went back to her sister's for the sale. My dad came over early and hung out with the boy while I went to my running group. I came home and showered, then worked on cleaning/prep for my sister's going away party that night. Party in the evening.
Sunday: she went back to her sister's for more sale and then cleanup. I felt like crap (I have a head cold that came on Saturday evening, ugh), so I cleaned up the kitchen and then the boy and I watched a movie.
2brides how was Epic? It looks good, we want to go see it.
bluedaisyus - It was good. How easily is D scared? There were a few pretty dark scenes (one or 2 Carter put his hands over his eyes. LOL.) I am not sure if the kids would have really liked it at 3y though... But the colors/details were beautiful!
Fri- a staff student picnic/ soccer game at L's school that got rained out & moved inside. Not as much fun. Then I went to work & L put the kids to bd
Sat-t ball, then carrot went with my dad to Home Depot for a building workshop. Neighbor child's bd party (where an African American mom complimented carrot's hair!). Friends stayed over with their kids. Not enough sleep. And the couple was fighting, so it was awkward.
Saturday my parents came over early and the three of us headed up to my sister's college to see her senior environmental analysis presentation. It was about water quality testing in a mining district in the Philippines. There was a lot of complicated discussion about ore and blah blah blah spectrometry. She did a great job though - so polished, and obviously very comfortable with the material. After the presentation we went out for lunch and walked around downtown, stopping to get ice cream. We went back to her house for a while to play rummy before driving home.
Sunday we had brunch at our friends' house and played Wii until the babies started melting down. Jen and the babies took naps when we got home while I caught up on some reading. I mowed the lawn and Jen did the edging and a quick grocery shop before going to the movies to see Star Trek (I'm going later this week). I put the babies down, cleaned a bit, and squandered the rest of the evening.
I cleaned all weekend, got lot a of laundry and deep cleaning done. Other than that we relaxed.
We got a call on Friday to ask if we can take a 7 month old boy, got a call from CSW this morning to check Owl and Apple's ages to see if we can still have the baby, waiting on a decision now.

bluedaisyus I'm with 2brides on Epic. I'm not sure E would have been into it as much at 3 due to the dark scenes. But yes the animation was awesome!
Friday: A met me at home when I got off work. We went to the local taphouse for burgers and beer.
Saturday: We slept in. Had brunch at the new pancake house. Went to see Fast and Furious 6 (at A's request). Afterwards we used a groupon for go-kart racing which was fun. Then we had a late dinner at a steak house I've been wanting to take A to. So yummy!
Sunday: More sleeping in. Made brunch at home and spent the afternoon being lazy together before A had to go home and back to work last night. I got groceries and watched the Iron Chef championship.

Started well, ended badly.
On Saturday we drove up to Maine with friends to hang out at an outdoor lobster shack/bar that has bocce courts and horseshoe pits and is generally just a fun place to be. It was hot but there was a sea breeze and eventually cooled off a bit. Wed had fun.
Sunday I shopped for veggie seedlings and actually got the beds weeded and the seedlings planted. I've been behind on the garden what with illness/IVF/vacation/busy-ness so I was relieved to finally get this done.
Our cat hasn't been eating well and got worse and worse throughout the weekend. This morning she was walking funny and I knew something was very wrong. She had hyperthyroidism and kidney issues so it was just a matter of time. I took her to the emergency vet and we ended up putting her down. I have been crying half the day. She was a grouch and a half but I adored her and will miss her very much.
