Memorial Day Weekend!

This was such a wonderful and much needed weekend!  The weather was perfect at 82 & sunny all weekend long!  We also successfully wore Maci out by having activities all weekend long but this also wore out mom & dad too HA!

This past week was a very busy one for me again at work but the end is in sight with the next 2 weeks still being fairly busy but then the former comp portion of my role starts to draw to a close and life should be more balanced again.  Clint had to go to Iowa for two days this week too and Maci ran a 103 temp one day for no real visible reason.  Therefore, with all that, the week was a bit nutty.

Saturday - We started the day with some lil gym fun but not before Maci acted like a goofball while eating her morning banana.  After gym, we ran our usual Saturday errands, napped and then got ready for date night.  Our neighbor Stephen watched Maci Saturday night while Halston/John and Clint/I went out on a fun date.  We started the night at the Yard House for drinks and dinner.  Afterward, Clint wanted to see Godzilla SOOO bad.  However, I was trying anything I could to get out of this one.  Clint didn't really care if I came or not so Halston and I sat at the movie theater bar talking and next thing we know, the movie was over :)  Needless to say we had a few to drink (a total of 4 Captain/Diets for me just at the movie) and so we were feeling good when the guys got out :)  We were able to get our money back for the tickets b/c they made a whole lot more off of us drinking than seeing the movie!  Afterward, we did a night cap back at the Yard House before I passed out at home.  I have not drank like that in a  while and well Sunday am I was feeling it at first OUCH

Sunday - We started a day with lots of yard work and cleaning up the house.  We had our friends Ryan/Jaycee/Natalie and John/Halston/Harper over for a typical Memorial Day holiday BBQ.  The kids had so much fun playing together at the water table and on Maci's slide while the adults played quite a few rounds of Cornhole and ate too much.  We ended the night with Harper going to bed in our Pack N Play while Maci had her first "Slumber Party" with Natalie.  It was so funny to sit around the fire and watch Maci and Natalie on the video monitor in her crib.  They were both so tired but Miss M would NOT shut up.  =)  Maci kept babbling and talking to Natalie, offering her the pacifier, showing her the book she had etc.  However, very Gilroy girl style, Miss M then passes out and Natalie has to lay there by herself.  It was really cute and a good time for all!

Monday - We went with the same friends from Sunday to the ZOO to spend our Holiday Monday morning.  I am so glad we went at the ZOO open at 9a because it got HOT and crowded FAST!  The kids are loving the zoo more and more each time.  We got out of there around 1200p just in time for afternoon naps.  Maci/Clint and I then all took a good nap from pure exhaustion from all the weekend fun and sun!  Maci is still napping right now while I am about to do some work before we meet our good friends Trip & Lori for dinner at the Red Cow.
