What a weekend!!

It was super busy. Saturday, Chris had to work Saturday until 3. We woke K up from his nap and headed out for errands. We spent the evening over at the Jackson's house for burgers and cards. It was so much fun watching Madison and K play. He really enjoys being around other kids. Is that a hint, kiddo??
Sunday, we played hookie from church. Since we taught our children's SS class for the month of April, we decided to sleep in and go out for breakfast. We went to Mimi's Cafe in Arlington. We really have enjoyed everything we've had there. The manager sat us at our table. He returned a few minutes later with a small plate that had a quarter of an orange and some Cheerios for K. We were so impressed! It was K's first time to try oranges. He really liked them and was smart enough to spit out the pulpy part of the orange. He is really interested in what we are eating but he didn't get a taste of our meals since we both ordered eggs. Afterwards, we headed to Target and Home Depot. We finally found a patio set that we liked, could comfortably seat 6, and not be over $400. We then headed home to meet up with my parents so that we could go to the Airhogs baseball stadium to pick up our season tickets. It was so much fun! We saw so many people that we knew. We found our seats and were delighted to find out that the people next to us were members of our church who also have young kiddos. Opening Day is the 19th of this month and we are so excited about going!!! We came home and cooked up some beans for our Dave Ramsey class graduation. It lasted 13 weeks and was totally worth it! We have enjoyed Dave for years and it felt so good to have the class. The cool thing is that once you take it, you can take it over and over again as many times as you want and not have to pay again. Also, your children can take it without paying - so cool!! When we finally got home, we were beat! We put K to bed and then called up our pals in Houston. We both have Wiis and just got Mariokart. This game is so cool because we can all go and race in the same race even though were hundreds of miles apart. It was so fun!
Monday was a great day - no school!! Gotta love not using those bad weather days! We dropped K off at the sitters and then headed out for breakfast at Cracker Barrel. It was so good!! Then we went to Best Buy to start using Chris's employee discount. Finally got the TV he's been wanting!! I met some friends from work for lunch at Cotton Patch and then we headed over to the movies to see "Made of Honor". It was so funny and will probably be one that I have to add to my chick flick collection!!

Thanks, Rhonda, for those good tips about how to avoid using the word no but still saying no. I'm going to try them out!!
