Weekend Update

Well, my long weekend was very nice. It started out Thursday evening, my parents, Aiden and I went to dinner at a local Mexican place. Chris was still working so we brought him some take-out.

Friday morning, Chris went to get us coffee and donuts after dropping Aiden off at school, then my parents and I got ready for our annual day of shopping. Chris has given up on going he can't take shopping for that length of time. My Dad is the only man I know that will just walk around the mall without any complaints and hold our bags for us. We were gone from about 10 until 4, so we picked Aiden up on our way home. That evening we just relaxed at home, watched some tv and played Wii. I thought my Dad would enjoy that but, unfortunately the way his mind works he wasn't really able to catch on that well, he got frustrated which mad me sad but, I try not to focus on that too much it just makes him feel worse.

Saturday, we woke up and headed to Burlington where my Mom and I went a little crazy on the clearance rack of girls clothes! Then to Kohls where the line was halfway around the store. We also hit the dollar store and praise the Lord for this place at Christmas, I got all my gift bags, tissue and wrap for 20 bucks! Then we went back rested a little before our trip to the fish market for dinner. That was really nice, they gave me a rose for my B-day and a candle in my dessert. We sat back near the lobster tank which kept Aiden entertained. Except when the big rake came down to grab the biggest one in there and he was visably confused. We told him the lobster was going to be with his friends in the ocean. Luckily he didn't notice the three pound creature coming back out onto someones table about 30 minutes later with a bowl full of melted butter ;-)

Sunday was pretty uneventful, we got up, Chris made breakfast and my parents got all their things together including loading the car with all of the Santa toys for us and they headed home. I laid around most of the day. Chris re-strung the Christmas lights! He ended up going out and purchasing all new lights, the big ones that screw in so he doesn't have to deal with the little ones burning out (see previous post). Whatever makes him happy!

Monday was my official Birthday. I came to work and a co worker brought me a mocha frapacchino with a candle in it, she is so sweet! Another co worker took me to lunch. Once I got home Chris had a cake and balloon ready for me and my presents all wrapped, in all different paper of course but it's the thought that counts! He and Aiden got me a new pair of boots, a sweatshirt ( I knew I was getting), a prenatal massage which I cannot wait to schedule at Kenneths and most precious the with child willow tree figurine. I have always wanted her and was waiting for the day I was pregnant again so I could finally have her! We just ordered pizza as Aiden was a bit tired from school and I really didn't feel like heading back out and we had our cake and ice cream and played candy land. It was a very nice evening. After Aiden went to bed Chris and I watched the Hills and I cannot believe I still watch that garbage! Spidey gets on my nerves more than anything in this world. If they eloped, why the heck were the camera there, and Us Weekly taking pictures, it's so fake, yet I continue to watch....I guess that's my own fault.

I also have a new addiction. The Twilight series! I have heard everyone talking about these books and all the news regarding the movie that came out so I grabbed a copy at the pharmacy a few weeks back. Well, I haven't been able to put it down! I love reading but never really have time. I just bought the second book to the series today! More on that later!

Today I just about finished my holiday shopping at lunch I have a gift card to get and that is about it! (I also got a few more pink items......couldn't help myself)
