Weekend

We had a very busy weekend. It first started because Billy had Friday, Saturday and Sunday off! He has a new schedule and works 6 days on and 1 day off and then works 4 days and has 3 off. It is good and bad! So this weekend was 3 off and we had a lot to do.
Thursday night we went to our Friends Alex and Theresa's house. It was a lot of fun- we stayed until 11:30- it's sad to say but I can't remember the last time we stayed up with the kids that late! Then Friday we got to sleep in until 8:30 is was awesome! Then we had some errands to do- get taxes done, do some grocery shopping ect.. then we went to Ryan and Sierra's house for dinner. We had a really yummy Mexican lasagna! I am going to make it sometime! And again we stayed out late- not as late but we got home after 10! The Saturday came and we woke up and got dressed so we wouldn't freeze at the St. Patrick's Day Parade. We parked and walked down to the parade. It was so nice out- I was glad I dressed the kids in layers! When we got back to the car it said it was only 48 degrees out but it felt much warmer than that. We all took off our jackets and hats and enjoyed the wonderful parade. When they say it is the largest parade west the the Mississippi they are not kidding! We stayed for 1 1/2 hours and they were not even half way through:) We left because the kids were getting hungry and the drunks were starting to annoy me! They kept falling into us and pushing us it was not fun anymore so we decided to go home! We put the kids down for a nap and Billy went riding. He loves that Motorcycle- it is good for him:) I guess I would rather have him out for a few hours one day a week than a few days a week working out at the gym!!After the kids woke up I took them over to my Moms house. We were trying to make Disney t-shirts for Disney on ice. She has a cool machine that embroider embellishments on t-shirts and what not! It took way longer than we thought it would. So after that we went to dinner and yet again did not get home until after 10!!
Sunday was our favorite day this weekend. Billy went riding in the morning and then came home and we got ready to go to Disney on Ice. Mikayla asked if the princesses were going to be there and I told her no they were on vacation! We got there and of course they saw the cotton candy and snow cones! We told them they needed to eat Lunch first and then they could have snacks! Just like last year we spent more money on the stuff there than the tickets:) This years show was about the Incredables going to Disneyland! I thought it would be really good because we were just there and Mikayla might relate to it more- well of course they picked the rides that we did not go on like the Haunted Mansion and It's a small world (they were closed) and then one of the train rides that Seth wanted to go on so bad but we just never made it on, and some others that I don't remember. The only two that we did go on were Space Mountain and Mikayla was scared because she remembered it was dark! But at least that was when Buzz Lightyear came out and she thought that was really cool! And the other one was Pirates of the Caribbean. Again she did not like that ride in DL but she thought it was Ok during the show!! So I kept saying "I feel like we didn't even go to Disney just 5 weeks ago!!" But the best part was when they had the parade and Princess Cinderella and Snow white came out and Mikayla yelled " I knew the Princesses weren't on vacation" It was so cute:) We came home and had our usual crowd over for Nitro Circus night! This time we were at home and the kids got a bath and got to bed before 8pm:) Great weekend, I am just happy it doesn't happen that way every weekend!

No wonder you guys were off schedule. Busy but those are so fun. So went to that Disney on Ice show about two years ago and Chris was so pissed because he felt he had just left a 2 hour commercial for Disney World. It kinda was.
