What a weekend

This weekend was extra busy but wonderful! So many great things happened within two days.

For the last couple months, I have been going behind my husbands back planning a Surprise 30th Birthday Party. Like I did not have enough on my plate! But I love him and he does so much for us, plus he has not been looking forward to this birthday. I had lots of help from my wonderful parents and that made it possible to pull off. He was completely shocked, surprised, happy and grateful for the party. It was a great mix of friends, family, good food and lots of donuts. What more could you want?

Saturday during the party prep my little chunky monkey finally decided to roll from tummy to back and back to tummy! We have been getting very anxious about his lack of rolling seeing how he is now 7 months and had not rolled yet. We are hoping he keeps it up! He did it once more Saturday night and has been moving around a lot more when he is on his tummy.

This morning we woke up and got the boys ready for Pirate Fest. We made the drive to Saint Charles, stopped in to see my Aunt and Uncle for a short visit. Stopped for lunch at Cracker Barrel then on to Pirates! It was cool and muddy but well worth the drive. The boys had a great time going on a treasure hunt all over the Festival, getting treasures from the pirates to put into their treasure chests. Grandma bought them both wooden swords, Nevin was super excited! He was the one who asked for them and is going to cause lots of trouble with it. My hubby did the axe throw and hit the dummy in the middle of the chest and the middle of the head! It was kind of scary, not going to lie, don't mess with my husband! It was fun to watch though. The boys got to see the cannons get fired, lots of people walking around in crazy pirate outfits and Nevin even petted a rat. What a crazy day! How many times do you get to say things like that in a blog?

Tomorrow back to reality... Preschool, Cardinal Glennon, therapy..... Gratefully for a short break over the weekend.
