This past weekend

UGHH!!! All I have to say is I AM EXHAUSTED!!! I got a text from my girlfriend last week asking if I would be willing to keep her kids overnight Saturday night so her and her husband could go on a date. I thought it would be great since my boys have been asking to have a sleepover with them for the longest time. I had the whole night planned out. We were going to order pizza and watch movies and have strawberries with cool whip for dessert and it was going to be a blast! How bad could it be, right?? Well I woke up Saturday morning feeling like absolute hell. I was completely congestion and had full on chills. It was HORRIBLE!! The kids showed up at 7:30 and so it began. I took them all to dunkin donuts and then on to the older boys soccer practice. I tried to get the kids to hang out at the park for a while so I could just sit but they wanted nothing to do with playing. They wanted to go home which is so unusual for my kids at least. I can't remember my kids ever asking to leave the park but that's what happened. So we head home I feed the kids and proceed to try to sit down and rest. The kids wanted to watch TV and play video games ALL DAY! I had to beg them to go play outside and give me a break but they kept coming back inside. Someone always needed something so I finally gave up on the idea of rest. We got to dinner time and we ordered pizza and wings which the kids ate outside. FINALLY!! I got them all showered and ready for bed around 7:30 but of course they did not fall asleep until 9:30. We finally got them all to sleep just to be woken up in the middle of the night because someone had a bad dream. Ended up with 2 kids and myself on the couch and 2 kids in Landon's room. The good news is I felt tons better on Sunday morning and the kids got picked up at 1:30 and I was able to take a nap with my little one. That was A.W.E.S.O.M.E!!! My sister and I took my parent's out to dinner Sunday night for my mom's birthday and to celebrate my dad getting a job. It was great to get out without any kids and be able to spend some quality time with my parent's. One last thing...D learned how to make a number one with a new finger last night. Take a look.
