weekend

 saturday was cold and windy.  went out to lunch without kiddos as a mother's day treat. went to the vine. major yum.  i could eat there everyday too and not get bored.  what can i say? i love food.  while we were out, kaylee was at the movie theatre eating popcorn and watching the movie earth with her good friend katie from playgroup.  it was katie's 4th birthday.  afterwards they went to dairy queen. then kaylee came home with a toy and some petite cakes that she shared with all us.  another yum!  i was kinda nervous about kaylee, she's such a mama + daddy's girl i was afraid she would bust out crying in the middle of the movie saying "i want to go home. i want my mom and her name is kristi" like she did for nana but she didn't.  michelle said she was really good.  {and dr. reid said i needed to take her to see a shrink and that we need parenting classes- humpff!}

after lunch, mike and i came back just in time for the neighborhood community pickup.  there were a handful of people walking around the pond picking up trash and big piles of leaves or sticks.  mike did the most work, of course, out of all of us.  i was freezing and would of stayed inside but the night before around the fire pit, i was complaining how we i wished we lived in one of those great neighborhoods where people just invite themselves over.  {we had a great fire going and no one joined us, maybe we're still too new?} so i stayed outside hoping to get to know some neighbors but we were all spread out.  i did see a group when i was heading back to our house for more trash bags when the herd moved into someones garage as i got closer.  so much for getting to know my neighbors.

mother's day was just fine.  very relaxing even while doing the laundry.  kaylee, my little love bug, gave me hugs and kisses while ham said "happy gimps day", aren't they the sweetest?  went over to my parents house later for a cookout. the only thing i wanted was a photo of me and the kids together but that never happened.  i miss my camera.  stupid, clumsy me for breaking both lenses!  yesterday it really would of came in handy.  as i was walking out the front door to get my mail, i saw 3 deers across the pond. i did get to take their picture with my purse camera but i know it wont be as clear or as close-up as it could of been.
