Weekend Recap

Happy MLK day! It seems that everyone had off of work/school except for me. Oh well! It would have been nice to be home today, especially after this hectic weekend.

Saturday, we were cleaning and getting ready for my dad and Lindsay to come over. It always takes so long to do a really good cleaning because it involves cleaning the bird cage, the fish tanks, and all the cat stuff. We were also at the end of putting away all the Christmas stuff, so that made it harder as well.

My dad came over around 4:15 and it was great to see him. Andrew and I really had to go to Target to pick up a few things, and he offered to stay home with the kids so our trip would be faster. Unfortunately, it was packed at Target, so it wasn't that fast of a shopping trip. We headed over to Home Depot after to pick up some firewood and light bulbs. My dad helped replace all the bulbs on the main floor to some energy saving CFLs when we got back. Lindsay arrived shortly before we did!

When we were done changing the bulbs, we had to go pick up a grill that a friend was holding for us after the move from the condo so that my dad could bring it home. After that was over, we went out to dinner, which was really great. We went to Sycamore Grill. (Yum!)

After dinner, we built a fire and made some s'mores. We didn't get to bed until 12:15 and dad was leaving early on Sunday morning. We were up at around 6 Sunday and I stayed up and chatted with my dad while he had his coffee and warmed up his car before he left. Then I went back to sleep! I was exhausted.

When I got up, I made breakfast for the crew, then watched a movie with Linz and the kids. After that, we were off and ready to head to IKEA to get Jax's dresser and a few odds and ends. When we got home I wanted to nap, but could not because I had to put together the IKEA shelf and stools that we bought, ha ha! After I was done, Linz went home and  we had to run to a hibachi dinner that we had planned for a while with the Bauers, Irelans and Hogges. It took so long for us to get the food and have dinner, but it was really fun and delish.

It was just a crazy weekend and I feel so drained and tired today. I still have not been sleeping well, but better than I was last week, so that is a plus.
