What a weekend!

We had a very busy weekend. Michael's cousin Amy got married on Sunday, so we went to her rehearsal dinner on Saturday night and then the wedding on Sunday. Heather watched our kids.

She and Matt were so happy, it was so nice to see. Amy had this beautiful very simple dress with a black bow and an empire waist. Very classy and so her. her bridesmaids all wore black dresses of their own choosing that were cocktail or knee length.

The wedding was really fun. They had a band called secret service men, (www.secretagentmen.com) who was really good, although very loud. I spent a good part of the night on the dance floor, my feet are still hurting. Michael only danced three or four dances.

They are going on a honeymoon to somewhere in the West Indies, an Island called Nevis. The weather there this week is in the upper 80's, which looks to be the average temperature there year round. The hotel is a four seasons which runs about 695 a night, luckily Matt works as a chef at one of their hotels so he earns nights every month he works, plus a discount on any extra nights. They are planning to just laze around while they are there, get massages, ride horses, and lay on the beach.

Sounds great to me, anyone want to go. LOL.

I took tons of pictures. Some should be really good. Can't wait to get them printed.

My night out

Well I found shoes and a wrap for the wedding, really comfy. Had a really good time went for dinner at bugaboo after had a really good chicken dish. It was a really nice night out. I am going to need to either give myself a pedicure or go to the mall to get one today. I think I might just give one to myself, no money thet way right.

I am a little frustrated with Michael this morning. I asked him to do a couple of things around the house before I left and one of them would have taken him at the most five minutes. Did he do any of them? NO. I am ready to go back to work just to be able to pay for someone to do his cleaning. I don't even ask him that often.


Okay, sorry I needed to vent. I have been up since 630a with the kids. Nate got Jackie out of her bed this morning without asking, ARRGH.

Need to go to the grocery store and to get some work done around the house. Hope to possibly even get some yard work done today. We have Amy's rehearsal dinner tonight, which we are going to just hang out for because we are not in the wedding but she wants us to come after everyone eats to just hang out and meet everyone. I Think her wedding is going to be a lot of fun, she has a great group of friends.

Gotta go get some work done. Have a great day.

Night out with the girls

I am headed out tonight with Tracey and Sharon to go looking for shoes and a shawl/wrap for Amy's wedding. They felt like it would be nice to go out for a little while to get away form the kids etc. So looking forward to a night on the town.
I don't know about Tracey and Sharon but I don't get out without the kids and the hubby often enough.

My Kitchen Counters are Clean!!!

Okay I finally have clean counters in my kitchen again. Well they have been clean just cluttered. But the clutter is now gone. I love my new kitchen but all of the new countertop is really hard to keep things off of. Flat surfaces and all that.

I think Michael will be shocked to see them. I know Nate thinks it is really nice.

What time of day are you?

You Are Sunset

Even though you still may be young, you already feel like you've accomplished a lot in life. And you feel free to pave your own path now, and you're not even sure where it will take you. Maybe you'll pursue higher education in a subject you enjoy - or travel the world for a few years. Either way, you approach life with a relaxed, open attitude. And that will take you far!

What Time Of Day Are You?

My Day

Ok it is almost 10 pm and I am absolutely exhausted but I am still on this stupid computer.

I went to S's house today to help her with her gardens. We met T there and we all had all of our kids. Sounds like fun right. LOL.

Well it really was, the big kids played together, with Nate's stomp rockets, on the swings playing hide and seek, etc. Jackie had to be involved with the big kids although she played with bubbles with M for a long time and the played in the sandbox for a while with Julia who played in there the whole time. T's girls were absolutely awesome with Jackie. They were so enthralled. Both Nate and Jackie were SOOOOO dirty you could definitely tell they had fun.

S's gardens look amazing already and they are still a fairly blank slate.

Now I just have to finish getting mine ready for mulch although who knows when we actually get some. I would be happy getting just the front done and then doing the backyard later.

Well, I am going to go get some sleep have a lot of yard work to do tomorrow morning while Michael is home in the morning. Hope to finish cleaning the rest of the leaves up, so that we can bring them to the town dump to get rid of them.

Happy Easter

Good Morning and Happy Easter.

All is well here kids went outside already this morning to find all the Easter eggs that the Easter Bunny had hidden. 36 in all. Nate found 22 and Jackie found 14. I was really surprised how many she found, and she needed very little help. I got some really cute picture will try to post them later.

We are headed to my brother and sister in laws for Easter dinner today. Looking forward to it. I need to get some laundry done before we go, I havebeen letting it go this week still about 4 loads left.

Well you all have a great Easter. Eat well.

Paw Sox continued

Well, the Paw sox won the other night. What an awesome stadium. We had general admission seats which gave us the option of sitting in the blue seats, bleachers or the berm. We ended up in the bleachers, but the seats were really good cause you are still so close to the game. I truthfully think that if we went again we would plan to get there a little earlier so that we could set a blanket down on the berm and sit there cause it is in the left/center field where it seems that most of the home runs are hit, and it is grass so lots of kids.

I think we all had fun, ate lots of junk food etc. We stayed 'til the end of the game 10pm so did not get home until 11pm but Nate was really good at school the next day. I was really tired but it was fun.

Paw Sox

We are headed out to a Pawtucket Red Sox game tonight, Opening Night. Michael got free tickets so we figured we couldn't pass that up, and Nate has been pestering us about going to a baseball game lately. I hope he actually sits down to watch it.

The last game I went to was Boston Red Sox with friend Michael got tickets last year for my birthday. Looking forward to this though I have always found that the training teams fields are much more enjoyable cause you are SOOO close to the action.

Will update on how it went.

Picture Day

It was picture day for the kids today, they went to Nana's School (Capt Pal) to get some pictures done. Jackie was awesome it took two shots and we only took the second because she blinked. Nate was great too, a great smile nice and big so we can see his missing tooth, I hope. We also got one of the two of them together, I hope they all come out well. We have done this every year since Nate was born so it is a nice yearly photo to see how they have grown, even before they start school.

My gardens

Well, I am almost ready to put mulch into most of my gardens. I am way ahead of schedule this year I normally do not get around to it until June. The weather has been so wonderful that I couldn't not spend a good amount of time outside and N has been such a big help. He has been helping with my edging, I cut the edge and he digs it out for me. That has made things go fairly fast. I haven't decided if I should go get some flowers before I get the mulch, I think I probably will only because it will keep the gardens neat. J likes to play in the sandbox while I am gardening so that has helped as well.

I can't wait for the finished product and all of the flowers to come up. I have had snow crocuses for about three weeks, the back yard first and the front yard started blooming yesterday. The hyacynths are starting to come up but not ready to bloom yet. It is finally spring. YEAH!
