Phew! What a weekend! I am not fit to party like a rock star, as is evident by the slow pace of my Monday morning. But what fun.
First up was a Thursday afternoon Royals' game. We had four tickets so we invited John's office-mate and his wife. We had great seats for a horrible, horrible game (I meant to say horrible twice). But as they say, a horrible day at the ballpark (fishing, golfing, shopping, etc) is better than a good day working.
Thursday night we celebrated John's birthday with my family. Dad grilled steaks and veggie kabobs and mom made apple pie with ice-cream. Yummy!
Friday was John's actual birth-day. I got his present about a month ago. I worked so hard at keeping it a secret. For a month I've been lying, sneaking, and hiding things. You see...one of John's favorite entertainers was in concert...IN Kansas City...ON his birthday. He knew it, I knew he knew it. But I still wanted it to be a surprise. I managed to instill just enough doubt that there was a teeny tiny little bit of surprise still left.
Surprise! We're goin' to see Brad Paisley! Tonight! Right now! Clean up these dishes! We gotta go!
We had great seats (better than I thought they were actually). This picture is very blurry because it was taken with my phone. He sang all the songs we wanted to hear. The weather was perfect. Happy Birthday honey!
Saturday we did what we do every Saturday...worked on the house. Even in the midst of fun...we got a house to build!
On my way home from the work site I came across this! About 200 motorcycles coming down the road. It was quite the sight. I think I scared a few of them because it's hard to take a picture and not swerve into the other lane. Sorry about that fellas.
Saturday night we joined Amber and Lucas for the play, "Bunkbed Brothers", at the Heartland Theater. It was funny and great to spend time with them.
Sunday was of course Mother's Day. We had a great time celebrating mom.
The kids got her her own plot of land out at our house, complete with a gardening kit she can keep out there to use anytime she'd like. Once she figured out what it was she said, "I have land!" I made her a sign and took a picture to put in her gift and no matter how I took the picture it looked like a burial plot. But I assure you...it's for planting daisies not for pushing them up!
Dad got her a digital camera (welcome to the modern age mom!).
So there you have it. On our calendar for next weekend...absolutely nothing! Shhh, don't tell anyone.
