All around FUN weekend

This past weekend was one of those weekends when we were constantly busy, party hosting, party hopping, social butterflies if you will- my feet hurt from wearing flip flops for 4 days straight, my neck is a sweet shade of pink, I ate waaaaay too much meat (hot dogs and burgers at every sit down) and suddenly my house has been introduced to the world of microscopic Legos (which we are loving and greatly appreciate party guests :)

First off: Friday morning, gorgeous day in Seattle, can't beat it when the sun comes out. Our primary took a special trip to the temple. So fun to be there with my boys, everyone was well behaved and it was just a nice , calm experience walking around the grounds and enjoying the view.

Next it just so happened that Wall E was coming out ON Jack's official date of birth so we had a little movie date with Cole and dad. *Insert movie review- We are HUGE Pixar fans, love, love, love all around. I was a little leary of the whole "robot" plot. Needless to say after a minor cat nap, fiddling with cell phone settings, and one too many jr. mints....I still was leary. I won't spoil it for any other folks who plan on wasting /spending their hard earned cash, but just know.....Buzz Lightyear is NO WHERE TO BE SEEN in this robot flick. Please Pixar, no environmental/political messages inserted into movies...Thomas parents NO LIKEY!!!

We hit Red Robin after the show and Jack finally had the pizza and ice cream sundae combo he'd been dreaming of. A dinner with no vegetables makes me anxious and feel yucky so I had to look away and think happy thoughts. FYI- no tomatoes at Red Robin till after the salmonella scare. You can just imagine my delight when they bring me my side "salad" consisting of shredded lettuce with a few tortilla strips on top - Are you kidding me??!!

Saturday was the big party where long lost friends from school came over. It's been a whole 2 weeks and they were thrilled to see each other. Kyle and I had a game plan: 1 1/2 hour time frame..party on, then be done with it. The kids were cute, it was blasted hot, more meat was eaten, pinata was defective (grrrr), all in all.... good times!

Party goer quote: "That was like the shortest party ever!" -mission accomplished!

-pssst Jack, you're only 6!

We had another birthday party that night for family friends which was a fantastic success. They had a water slide and more meat..yummy, yummy, meat. It was a fun get together and all around fun day.

Yea, so now that it's July -our calendar is w-i-d-e open....we're looking for some parties to host/attend, some tomatoes, the direction manual for the lego set, and most importantly... burgers and dogs...
