Bryon and I had a big function Saturday night but couldn't find a babysitter. My in laws volunteered to watch all three of the kids from Saturday morning until Sunday afternoon. Normally when we have time to ourselves, we are going out of town, so it was really unusual to just have a normal weekend at home by ourselves! We spent the time running errands on Saturday afternoon. We went to my two favorite local nurseries to look around. It wasn't quite as fun as I would have hoped because it was freezing but I had to get it out of my system!
We also went to Sam's to look at playsets. We left our old one at our old house and we have really missed it! While we were there, I went ahead and bought a bunch of meat for the next few weeks. I felt like a character on the movie Fargo since all we bought was 5lbs. of meat, 5lbs. of sausage, 10 lbs. of chicken, and 2 big roasts! ME LOVE MEAT!!!
We had a great time on Saturday night going to Pei Wei and then to see two great artists later on that evening. Annika Fehling, who is from Sweeden, and Dana Cooper, who was from Nashville, came to play at a friend's house. We stayed out until midnight.
All night, in the quiet of our house, I kept hearing someone say, "Mommy!" I attibute it to phantom pains that amputees feel. It just doesn't seem right being home without the kids!
Of course, we had a great time, and I was happy just hanging out with Bryon even for a short time. It was almost better being home alone than going away alone! We went yesterday to pick up the kids and met my inlaws at Martha's Bloomers in Navasota. I have passed it many times and it was written up in Southern Living a few months ago so I had to check it out. What a neat place! I have a feeling we will be stopping there more in the near future!
Looks to be a slightly calmer week this week. Thank goodness! Unfortunately, we will NOT be going to Alabama as we had originally thought. Bryon has some job changes going on this month which made the trip impossible. It is our hope to postpone it only a few months. I was hoping to get to meet some of my blog friends!
Off to join the kids outside. Have a great week!

Glad you got some down time after your week last week! Sounds like a win/win situation to me--I am guessing your in-laws loved having the kids, too!
I love those rare occasions of having the house to ourselves just to catch our breath and enjoy each other. Sounds like a wonderful evening.
And I read where ME will have surgery - keep us posted. I will pray for everything to go well and be successful!
