Honestly, it was a great weekend! For the most part.

Friday night I go to go out to dinner with six other ladies. We are all friends from church and we just sat around talking for hours with no interruptions. It was wonderful. We went to Faang Thai Restaurant & Bar in Warrenton. The service was very speedy, our waiter didn't mind if we sat there chatting, and everything was delicious. Afterwards, we walked to Border's for coffee and ended up talking there until well after 10:00 pm. We actually lost track of time until the coffee shop started turning off their lights while we were still there.

On Saturday my older sister and I went with my two little ones up to Maryland to visit my Grandmother. She is 90 years old now and I just love her. I try to call and visit her as much as possible.This is the two of us in her bedroom. She loves to have company over and cook for them. I am a lot like her and consider that a great honor. She is my only living grandparent that I have left and I am cherishing the time that I have to spend with her and learn from her.

My children love her as well and know that their Great-Grandmother will spoil them! Which is fine by me. That is the job of the grandparents and the great-grandparents. N even learned that he just had to run over to her and make his lower lip wobble and she would pick him up and give him love.

They also enjoy riding in her new walker. I love this picture with C holding onto N so that he doesn't fall.

And she enjoys having them around her too.

Plus, showing them off to her friends up there is a treat.

Yesterday was Sunday. Which means church day. We all got up, had breakfast, bathed, got dressed an out the door. On time! With hardly any fussing at all! Which is a minor miracle in and of itself. Then on the way to church, C started crying and saying she had a boo-boo and needed to go to her doctor instead of church. When we got to church she had a red splotch on her back the size of a dessert plate with little white spots on it. I asked a lady in our church with a medical professional background what she thought it was. She told me it looked like an allergic reaction to something. We checked C's back about 10 minutes later and the red mark had moved. Not spread, just moved. On the way home, C kept scratching at herself and asking for her doctor. She took Benadryl and went right to bed almost as soon as we walked in the door. Jason said he would stay home her last night so that I could go back to church. He also said that if she was still sick the next day, I'd be the one taking care of her so it gave me a small break.

Which was nice. We had a new member fellowship after church and I got to go all by myself and just talk to other adults without having to constantly watch my little ones. I love them dearly but it was nice being me for a while and not someone's Mommy.

Looking forward to today!
