The Weekend

This morning we had plans to go to Aviation Day. By the time the boys got naps and we got ready it was about lunch time. I asked Elliot where we should go (Forgetting what her answer ALWAYS is and thinking she might say McDonalds or something) Anyways, she said "OLIVE GARDEN!" uh oh. I thought about it a bit and then agreed. I was a little nervous. I've never taken all 3 kids by myself to a place where they all needed to be semi-quiet and behave.

It went great! Everyone was wonderful. I fed the boys, Elliot and I ate, we talked, no problems. The boys got a little fussy after about an hour...but nothing too bad! YEA! We can do it! The only problem with going there is that I spend almost $20 just for me to eat! I can't resist the stuffed mushrooms, and might as well make that a combo appetizer with some chicken fingers. Then I get soup and salad. NO kids meals either. We just share. I even had water to drink and left paying $19. oh well. Nice treat!

After eating we went to Florida Tech's aviation day. I wasn't sure what to expect, but knew that if Wes was here he'd want to take the kids out. It was surprisingly very nice. Looked at some planes, walked around, and got some fresh air! Cozy. Left, hung out at Mimi and Papas for an hour and a half or so, then came home to cook our pumpkin seeds! What a fun day we had!!

I usually dread the weekends because there's not much for us to do. Everyone else is spending nice time with their families and well...I guess that's what I'm doing, but it's always nice to speak to someone over the age of THREE! :-)

I think I could manage Olive Garden by myself with Jake and Wesley. But Nathan, he's a full time job just himself!

You rock! Your Wes must be so proud of you and all that you do to keep his family happy.

By the way, he rocks too! Thank him for serving his Country and making us all safe.
