What a Weekend

We had a great weekend! There were some ups and downs but overall it was great. On Saturday, my sister, her DH, Big A and Little E came up to watch Princess so DH and I could go on a real date. He had to work most of the day so I just met him in town for dinner. After much deliberation we decided to go to Firebirds. We have been many times and I never ever regret going there. It was delicious! It was so nice to sit across from my DH and just enjoy his conversation. No worrying about dropping crayons, "I do it myself", or wanting to dance on the table (The Princess people, not me.) Of course then we had the rest of the evening to ourselves and we had NOTHING to do! We really didn't feel like the movies because well, they are boring. You can't talk to one another and you really don't want to if you paid $20+ for a movie-you want to watch it (or at least you fee like you have too.) SOOOO, as mentioned, we did go to Toys R' Us to shop for princess and her betrothed (little M). They are having a huge Thomas the Train event right now and we were planning to rack up...not so much. The signs were up but the date stated begins 9/7...which was Sunday...oh well. We did wind up getting her an Abby Cadabby (Elmo's Friend) doll. She always says, "That's me!" Maybe she will forgive me for spelling her name wrong. Or maybe she will like to be different...that's another post.
Saturday morning didn't start off as well as it ended. I woke up with a horrible migraine, an imitrex migraine. I did decide to take one even though they are hard to "process" and luckily my parents showed up right then! Talk about timing. I got to lay down for awhile and they got to spend time with princess. With all of this happening, I totally forgot about visiting my friend, L's, new house. I talked to her later in the day and felt horrible. We will definitely have to make it out there soon....they should be closing in the next week or so. How exciting!
(this post is jumping around a lot...sorry)
When we got home from Toys R' Us, my BIL was watching the game and taking care of Little E. Big A was playing with toys on the couch and my sis was getting ready to give Princess a bath. It was quite a sight. We all watched the end of the game together-ROOOOOOLL TIIIIIDE! The kids were so cute jumping around with their shakers.
On Sunday, DH announced that he had made a decision. I said, "okay, what?" He said he was going to buy the family an iPod Touch, mainly for Princess to use for the plane ride. So we leave in search of the best deal on one of these. We find it by price matching one at Best Buy. I have to admit, this thing is pretty cool and had Princess enthralled while watching an episode of Mickey Mouse Clubhouse.....Hmmmm, might be an okay plane ride afterall. Then we ventured back to Toys R' Us to purchase the Thomas items that we wanted from Saturday. We got several big ticket items for 50% off! Princess and her Betrothed are going to be all decked out come Christmas time (if I can keep DH from opening everything before then...)
Well, this was the majority of our weekend...add in my coupon shopping (Walgreens this week people!!!! GET ON IT!) well I am worn out! Have a great week!!
