Well if you read yesterday’s post you know that it was Mom’s birthday yesterday. So today after dinner, any of us kids who could make it to Mom’s for birthday cake came over to help celebrate with her.
So with a house full of kids and grand kids, we had a great afternoon celebrating her birthday. Of course you can’t go to Mom’s without her having just tons of food too! Now how in the world do you think I’m going to meet my running goals with all this good food? But it’s a sin to leave it go to waste, so I guess I’ll have to figure something out.
We beat it home early from the party so we could do our weekly Skype with the boys. We were able to catch Kyle in Korea, but William ended up calling a little later to talk. Both kids are doing well and it’s so nice to just touch base with them every week to hear how their week went.
And so with all this going on this weekend, we talked about staying home tonight and maybe just vegging out by the fireplace. But instead .. off to town we went to go see a movie. We haven’t been to a show for a long time and tonight’s movie ‘American Sniper’ was really good and I was glad that we didn’t do the sleeping thing on the couch tonight instead.
Now it’s time to get things organized and ready for the upcoming work week. I’ve got a lot to do around the house that I want to get done and I also need to get stuff ready for our upcoming town’s Irish Fest. Whew! I better make some good ‘to do’ lists tomorrow.
But for now? Well it was a fun weekend and Happy Birthday Mom!
