Mother’s Day weekend was a blast. Saturday we all went out to eat with Yvette and two of her kids. Always a pleasure. After lunch we went on a crazy yard kick at my house. I needed help on a ladder. later, Chris and I had a drink and picked up some carry out for my mother and us and we drank wine and laughed. We laugh. That Sunday morning it was Mother’s Day brunch and it was a mad house. Of course it was. We knew it would be. I think over all we did good, aside from some technical difficulties.
The baby shower was finally upon us. Friday after work we all got together to setup everything so it was behind up on Saturday. It turned out to be a lot of fun. That night Yvette and her daughter brought over fruits for me to cut and pretzels to dip in hot chocolate. Some extra snacks for the party. It was also very fun.
Saturday was the main event. We still had things that needed to be done, of course. Finished setting up and came back all dressed pretty. She scored a large amount to goodies and had a fantastic spread of sweets and savory. I think we were all pretty satisfied. It was my first baby shower and I was actually really social. I walked around and talked. Helped where I could. The games were fun. It was just another new experience with Yvette and her family.
That’s evening I made queso and we all made burrito bowels outs of the leftovers. It was a long two days and we were all tired but it wasn’t u til after 11 that I left her house. It would be an understatement to say I didn’t crash hard.
Sunday we had a ritual lunch with my mom. We went to Zero One. These lunches are always after 1. Gives us time to do whatever needs to be done on the more ing half of the day. That might be the yard, sleeping or running around round while it’s less hectic. it’s always fun.
Afterwards I went strait to meal prepping. I prepped both breakfast and lunch for a few days. I was tired but she was ever more so. This would save her the trouble. I also decided I’d get together more stuff for us to have dinner, which I did. I made queso smothered steak burritos. Her son did the same. Another fun evening.
All in all a great two weekends. Hope
