What a great weekend...................The hubby had a busy week working late, haircuts & furniture pick ups, as well as leaving town early Thursday morning. So, of course, me and the monkeys had a blast! Starting with dinner at little azio's on Wednesday evening. It is so fun watching Big Papa, Ems & Madison play together......Ems plays mama and the other two see how much trouble they can get into!! If there is a bug, they'll look at it, If there is a fountain, they'll be wet, If there's a hill, they'll climb it and If you aren't fast, they will surely touch something they shouldn't!
So Thursday, we had an impromptu gathering of monkey friends.......
Madison, Caroline & baby William ate pizza and played with us right up until bathtime!!!
Between the backyard & the play room, the kids had a blast pushing strollers, playing kitchen and giggling non stop! We even managed to get them to eat a few veggies! Then it was bathtime for four and bed for us all.............Well, except for Ems, but that is another post!!So, as Friday rolled in, more fun was to come...........Went to Zucca's for dinner with some of my favorite people........The Smith Family & The Welch Family.....................Some of the best people I am blessed to know! Dinner was great, although some plants lost their lives and a few "gun control" topics came up, we had a great dinner..... Even ran into other fellow "Oxford" friends and the kids played around the fountain.
So, with full bellies, all the monkey's went home, took baths, and bedtime arrived. Well, except for Ems, but, again, that is another post!!
Saturday mornings are our "MUSIC CLASS" days! Which we love. And by "WE" I kind of mean the kids, cause face it, after several years of doing this, it isn't always easy to get up and down, dance all around, keep moving........ok, sorry, that was totally a wiggles song!! But the kids really love running around, dancing, singing, and playing with all the instruments!!
Once everyone had sung till their hearts content, we ran home to hang out with Miss Kelly and Audrey. The mommy's were going SHOPPING...........Well, we were helping one of our new mommy to be's get some baby registering! And I do love me some baby registering!! We knocked out the furniture in 2 stores flat, and hit Babies R Us............And by hit, I mean Lori took the gun, took charge, and left us running behind her trying to see what she's shooting! Oh, and did I mention that Jessica was the "Mom To Be?" It was hilarious and had us laughing the whole time............
Oh, and the day didn't end there...................After a few minutes of solitude while our kiddos slept, a new game plan was made.........Which, of course, included FOOTBALL since it was Saturday, you know!! And where else can Moms with crazy kids actually watch football? Why The Palazzo's home, of course!!
And in a group consensus, We decided if ever we had inclement weather, we wanted to get stuck at The Palazzos! With a basement full of playrooms and media rooms and a fridge stocked with beer and food, where better to watch the DAWGS play some ball.............
It warms my heart to see my monkey's play so hard and laugh so much!! They may squabble here and there but how blessed are we to have such great friends. I love watching how they grow together and how each and everyone of their little personalities are growing bigger and bigger. What one does, they all do. Even if the little one's can't quite do what the big ones are doing, it's such a joy watching them.
And for my own monkey's? Ems is such a girly girl..........With tea parties and babies and always a crown, She's pretty shy but so very loving.....Her little brother may push around the dolls, but if you don't watch out, he's likely to give you the old body slam! He's far from shy and is such a comedian but he's my snuggler.........And the great thing about friends? Is I can count on them to pick up where I might be lacking........like baseball, or throwing, or choir practice on wednesdays!
Now, by the time bedtime drew near, we were all pretty beat but still managed bath and books before hitting the sheets............Well, except for Ems, Did I happen to mention I'll be doing a post on this???
So, Sunday should have included church, for sure..............but pj's and an Ice Cream social at the end of the day, seemed a little more our speed...............
And of course, A bath was a must with all the vanilla and sprinkles that got consumed!! For me too, since I couldn't help but kissing their cute little dirty faces and holding all those sticky little hands. I live for the weekends, since work is a must during the week. We laughed and played in the tub, read our favorite books (Big papa's is The Very Hungry Caterpillar book by Eric Carle
and Ems loves anything princess) and off to bed we went...............OK, OK, You get it, I'm having some sleep issues with my little princess................Hoping the SuperNanny cameras are hiding somewhere and Jo Frost will appear soon, right?
Anyway, sleep finally came for all of us and we got ready to start a new week...................And to quickly clean the house before the hubby came home late Monday night :)
