My Weekend

Well the weekend would have been better if the weather would have been a little nicer... We seen snow today! Wow what a shocker! I don't ever remember getting snow on my birthday, ever!!

Any who... On Saturday after swimming and tumbling lessons, the kids and I ventured to Rockford to find winter coats and football socks (Halloween costume). We succeeded and also managed to meet my brother, Mike, and niece, Michaela, at Red Robin for lunch. We arrived home a little after 3pm. Todd informed us that he was done working in the garage and would be in to take a shower shortly... to my surprise he let us know at 5:15 we were leaving to go get something to eat... even though I told him that I was not the least bit hungry. He had a big surprise for me for my birthday. We dropped the kids off at one of my good friends' house, Mrs. Farmer Foley, to play (thank you, thank you!). Todd then proceeded to drive to Freeport without telling me where we were going... I was hoping it wasn't really fancy as I was wearing jeans, tennis shoes and my Le-Win Panther wind jacket. We ended up at the Fieldstone restaurant... I will leave my comments to myself about this place as we have tried it before and not been impressed... Todd thought maybe it had changed... it didn't. However, we did have a good time having some time to the 2 of us... It is always hard to find things to talk about after you been talking the whole way to Freeport and when you don't have kids to yell at. We picked up the kids after a couple hours and they had a wonderful time!!! They ate pizza and made me a very special and large birthday card!!! (Mrs. Farmer Foley - Remember the standing invitation for a future date as your birthday is right around the corner!!!)

Today we went to see the HSM 3 the much awaited movie. It was good and the kids loved it... I think I prefer the original movie, but they love them all! I think we discovered that Cole should play the drums as he was practicing every time they started to sing. Zoe stood up a few times and started to dance. Well we are home now for some much needed r&r after this weekend... and ready to start the week again! And prepare for Halloween...
