Weekend Recap: Hangin' w/ my babies

I pretty much told the story of Friday already so I'll start w/ Saturday.

As I predicted, I was woken up by Ella when she got up in the morning w/ my mom and sister-in-law. I pretended like I was still asleep but it wasn't very restful. I went to bed too late and since I slept on the coach I was in the middle of the living room so couldn't really hide from any noise.

I can't remember exactly what I did this weekend. Everything blends together. Lots of playing w/ the kids, mainly Ella. I taught her how to do CPR, how to neuter a cat, how to make an abdominal incision and sew it up. Lots of useful things for a toddler to know. Oh yeah, we went to Target and spent a while there. I bought Ella a groomer's kit. It came w/ a kitty and a kitty carrier, scissors, nail clippers, blow dryer that actually turns on and makes noise, plus a bunch of other pieces. She really likes it! I also did a short run in my brother's neighborhood.

Later that night we went to a surprise party for my brother's 30th birthday. He's usually very nosey and you can't keep secrets from him, somehow he finds out but he genuinely seemed surprised. We had dinner there and stayed until 10 or so but then the kids had to get to bed. At the party I brought my laptop and all my music and we picked up a pair of cheap speakers and I played music for Ella while she danced for everyone. After the party me and mom brought the kids home and my brother and sister-in-law went to my brother's work holiday party. I guess my brother got really wasted and after coming home spent a couple hours outside in the freezing cold w/ the neighbor until 3am drinking whiskey. Evidently they were very loud and woke my mom up and she couldn't get back to sleep. I didn't hear a thing.

So of course on Sunday my brother was very hung over. My sister-in-law had to work so me and mom had to take care of the kids. My bro was useless in bed. So we played around all day and my mom and I took shifts so we could both get a long run in. When she got back I went out and ran 8 miles again around my brother's neighborhood. It was very boring! The neighborhood isn't big enough for that long of a run so I eventually found another neighborhood to run in too and luckily I didn't get lost.

For dinner we had Jimmy John's subs which I was happy to get. I used to get them all the time in Manhattan, KS during vet school but they aren't around in Boston. Got my usual Turkey Tom, cucumbers instead of tomato. It was yummy! Had leftover birthday cake for dessert.

Today was similar. Just playing around all day w/ the kids. Went to the mall so they could ride the merry-go-round and ate at Rainforest Cafe. Mom made meatloaf for dinner. That was yummy too! Now trying to get JJ to go to sleep. He went down really well but for some reason Ella went in his room and woke him up and now he won't go back to sleep. He's just screaming his head off!!!

I'll leave here early tomorrow morning and stop in Niagra Falls again to run. Get back home to my mom's around 5-6p. Leave Wed morning from my mom's, drive back to Albany, and take a bus from there back to Boston. What a trip! At least I got to see my babies for a little bit. And I got some Christmas presents.
