From Ed's Day to My Day...

Ok so I wanted to run through my weekend which contained Ed's Birthday Friday, to Ed's Birthday Party Sat Night, To Mothers Day here on Sunday.

And I wanted to keep it in the simple format of highlights and 'lowlights'...here we go!!!


FRIDAY

Highlight: Ed's Birthday + Babysitter = Date Night!
Lowlight: Ed had a cold and felt like death
Highlight: I got my way and coerced him into going out 
Lowlight: I was on a date with someone who felt like death
Lowlight/Highlight/Lowlight: Ed wanted to go out for Gourmet Hotdogs (???? I KNOW!!!) 
But he forgot to get directions so I got to pick the restaurant...
Then my pick ended up being a dud  - but it was OK because he couldn't taste the food anyway.
Highlight: We went to the drive in to watch a movie
Lowlight:It was a stupid movie
Highlight: We were still in bed by 11pm!!


SATURDAY

Highlight: Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu!!!
Lowlight: Ed still felt pretty death like and didn't want to spread the plague so he didn't get to play.
Highlight: We then got to hang out with my dad and shop for my mom all afternoon long.
Lowlight: Ed hates shopping and was trying to shop for my mothers day gift with the kids (and death) in tow.
Highlight:Ed was being so sweet and shopping for my gift anyway
Lowlight: We got home around 3 and needed to leave again by 6 for Eds party and I needed to make a carrot cake, cream cheese icing, pie shells (from scratch!) and lemon meringue filling (which I suck at because it is not an ADD friendly recipe) all before we left!
Highlight: I got it done!!!!
Highlight: We got to Ed's party and UFC night on time!! And we had a good time. Oh and everyone like the dessert.
Highlight: We were at home and in bed by 11:30!!


SUNDAY:

Highlight: I got my mothers day gift from Ed and the kids  - Tuck the turtle from Gabe, A ballerina lamb from Eliana and a Phone Jack (????) ((which turned into a gift card with store credit)) from Ed
Lowlight: He also got me a recorder...like the musical instrument that makes you want to cut your ears off.
Highlight: Had breakfast and went to church with my parents.
Lowlight: The kids wanted to bring the recorder along.
Highlight: We had an afternoon BBQ out at the farm - SO much fun!!!
Lowlight: The kids played with the recorder all afternoon
Highlight: We came home and conveniently forgot the recorder at mom's house!! Happy Mothers Day Mom!

PS - Lowlight: After reading this to Ed he informed me that he found the recorder and it is in the van!! Guess the jokes on me....
