Best Weekend Ever

Here's how it started.......


Friday the kids and I met up with my good friend Bridget, her daughter Brindee, Bridget's sister Kasey, and her twin girls Riley and Reagan.....yep it was quite a troop of kiddos. We went to the Woodlands children's musuem, where all the kids had a blast, then over to Chick Fila for a yummy lunch, then across the street for some mindless wandering at Target......gotta love that! I had a lot of fun catching up with my friends and seeing how much fun the kids were having. Before we left the museum one of Kasey's twins ran up to her looking exhausted, and told her mom she was tired because she "was having way too much fun". That made me laugh, too funny!

Here's where it gets even better.........
Friday night as were were getting into bed, Kevin offered to let me sleep late on Saturday morning.That alone would be enough of a gift for me, since my idea of sleeping in just doesn't happen anymore, but it gets better............
Kevin took the kids out first thing in the morning to get breakfast for everyone. Then, I was awakened a few hours later to 3 smiling faces, a dozen beautiful pink roses, hand-made valentine day cards, and last but not least, a perfectly perfect PANDORA bracelet that has Hunter, Hannah, and Kevins initials on the charms. I got a little emotional because I was totally surprised......he did really good!

And then.....


Feeling like a happy girl we all got dressed to go see the Sesame Street Live Concert in downtown Houston. I have been so excited about this, because I knew how much the kids would love it. We kept what we were doing a surprise right until we walked into the area and they saw Sesame Street stuff everywhere! They ABSOLUTELY loved it!! And I'm not ashamed to admit it, I was pretty entertained myself!



















After we got back from the concert, I met my sister in law Jana for a coffee and a movie.....we saw Black Swan......very weird, that's all I can say about it
Is there anything better than:
1) getting to sleep late (when I NEVER do)
2)getting gifts and flowers from your kids and hubby
3)seeing your kids be so happy (at the concert) & knowing they just created a great memory
4)getting to have much needed girl time and see a really good movie
*somebody pinch me...I shouldn't be this happy*



Today was the PERFECT way to end the weekend. We literally spent 95% of our day OUTSIDE, because it was such amazing weather! We got yard work done, house work done, and all sorts of other little things around the house. Keith and Jana, Kaitlyn and Brady all came over to hang out and let the kids play. We let the kids help us make home made pizzas, then roasted smores out on the fire pit. I cherish days like these when we can just all hang out with the people we love and have good times doing it! I thank Kevin for making this weekend so fun for me and the kids, I'm definitely a lucky girl.
LIFE IS GOOD
