Re: How was your weekend?
We had a baseball filled few days. Chase took a half day wed. and was off thurs/fri... We went to the Reds games wed. night and thurs. afternoon. After the game thursday we went shopping and got ella some Reds gear then headed to the Inn at Versailles for the night. Friday morning we headed back north and stopped off in Lima for lunch and did a little shopping and I worked a couple of hours in the evening.
Saturday I worked 2 hrs in the morning then Ella and I spent a few hours at the mall and after that my mom came over for dinner.
Yesterday we decided since it was nice out to go up to 5/3 field and watch the game since the Bats were in town. My dad was watching the game and saw us on TV so he decided to come join us about half way through then after the game we went to max & ermas with him and my little brother and sister and my brothers new girlfriend... then we came home and watch the reds game on tv and one of DH's friends came over for a little while.
How fun, Susan!!
Friday - I've been battling allergy/sinus crap lately, so Friday we just sat around the house and I went to bed early.
Saturday - Went and got a pedi with my mom (yay!) then went out and did some Graham's stuff for a few hours. DH and I decided to try Hong Kong Buffet for dinner and stuffed ourselves silly. Then we went over to BIL/SIL's house for a little bonfire and hanging out.
Sunday - Went to DH's Grandparent's for lunch (traditional Easter food) and had fun hiding eggs for the little ones' egg hunt. Stopped home for a few before heading to my parents for dinner (less-traditional... burgers
). Came home and worked on more Graham's stuff, plus PPI stuff while DH had friends over to hang and play Monopoly (hate that game!) 
Friday I visited a good friend and her 2 week old baby. Went home and watched hockey.
Saturday, I met my mom at the cemetary to order my grandma's marker. Then we headed to Show Carnival. Went home played outside with B2, cleaned,laundry, baked a apple pie and a chocolate cake, which turned into a Almond Joy cake. Went to the Hilton Garden Inn with the BTB to see how the outdoor wedding is set up. Then met the B's at Perryburgers. Went home and watched more hockey.
Sunday, had little egg hunt with B2 inside the house, had brunch at JPatrick's with the ILs. Went home took a nap with B2. Then went to my parents for dinner. Where they had a egg hunt for B2 outside and a new to B2 swingset in the backyard. Went home and watched more hockey.
If you can't tell, I love playoff hockey!
NICE!
Checking in, kinda slow today
3 day whirlwind weekend - Friday - DH and I went to my mom's, had lunch and hung out for a bit. Got home, stopped by his parents and had dinner w/couple friends.
Sat - I visited my dad briefly in the a.m. then it was home to get ready and had Easter dinner w/DH's family in Sandusky. Didn't get home until 10!
Sun - church in the a.m., had breakfast then we headed to my aunt's and grandma's for Easter family time. Ate too much food, but scored leftovers, so there will be little cooking for me this week, yes!
I really didn't get a weekend since we ran around so much, was looking forward to doing nothing tonite. I can still do that I guess but the weather is not cooperating to walk the dog after work. This rain sucks so much!
My weekend started on Thurs! It was one of the most amazing weekends I've had!
Thursday Joe and I left the kids with my mom at 11:30, we then went to Five Guys for lunch, watched Limitless (awesome by the way), went shopping at the mall and then checked into our room at Belamere : ) After hanging out there the hubby took me to Melting Pot and we had a delicious dinner.
Friday, our 5 year anniversay the hubby surprised me with some beautiful diamond earrings!!! Then we checked out did some shopping in Perrysburg, then took off to go up to Frankenmuth. We got up there around 5 and checked into our room there and then had some drinks and went shopping. Later we had some of the famous chicken (sooo good!) and went back to the hotel to sit in the hot tub.
Saturday we went shopping in Birch Run and then headed home to be with the kids and get ready for the EB to come.
Sunday was busy with easter baskets, church and 2 different family get togethers.
It was seriously so wonderful to get away with Joe and it was very much so needed.
Saturday - we just hung around the house. DH decided to paint the dining room and hallway, so I had to attempt to keep R occupied and away from the wet paint! my friend and her 2 year old stopped by for a VERY quick visit (I think she may have stayed 10 minutes), and my parents and sister came over to give Easter gifts. I went grocery shopping, DH took R to Bass Pro Shops, then another friend stopped over for a newborn photo shoot. And the day ended with a family outing to Home Depot!
Sunday, Dh slept til 10...he had gotten a migraine around 2am. Then, he was REALLY crabby while getting ready to go to his mom's. Went to Tiffin to have Easter with the in-laws. R never took a nap - he held up fairly well. Then, the kids and I went to my parents in the evening for a bit, and DH went to bed.
Nothing too exciting.
Friday- Group class at the studio
Saturday- Went to Zumba with my mom at 9, came back and took the dog for a 2.5 mile walk, wrapped mom's birthday presents and made her cake, went to dinner with 2 of our couple friends (sans 1 part of 1 couple) then we went to see the missing friend in his musical "Blood Brothers", which I have to say I have some incredibly talented friends. That was an extremely difficult role. Great show.
Sunday- Breakfast at my mom's, brunch at Matt's one grandparents' house, lunch at his other grandma's house, then dinner here to celebrate Easter and my mom's birthday!
Today- I'm still off for Easter break with my schools, so I'm taking today to apply for more jobs and do some research. Might be going out to have dinner at a friend's house and discuss our upcoming vacay before seeing his band play.

Exhausting for me!
Saturday Mom took me shopping. Before we headed to the mall, we went through Old Orchard where I could show her some houses I liked. Somehow we ended up driving through the very high dollar part of Ottawa Hills. We hit every wing in the mall and I ended up trying on a boat load of clothes which equaled total exhausted for me! We started at Macy's and ended at Bravos for lunch. There was no way I could make it all the way back to her car! After I got home and rested a bit, DH and I hit up BRU thinking we were going to pick up the rest of the furniture...wouldn't fit in my jeep so he and a coworker went back and got it today. For dinner Saturday night, DH treated me to Treo...yummy!
Sunday went to the Hens game with one of my BFFs. We had suite tickets (from my job) and a parking pass...or it totally would not have been worth going to the game! so wish we had gone to Comerica Park instead. I didn't sleep very well last night once I got up for my first potty break at around 2 so stayed up past 4 a.m. finishing Under the Dome. So tired today!
busy!!!
moved over the weekend.... thank god for family and friends! (still have little crap to move, but we need to find the room for it first
~ )
had easter at my aunt's house on sunday, then moved some more stuff, went to see my mil, and then back home to try and get organized in the new place.
