Friday morning, my mom and I took the boys to Seattle to the Tiny Tots Symphony. It’s pretty cool, actually, they have a few of the instruments featured and it all geared down to a kids level. Levi took a minute before it started to give Papa a call, Trey and Nana cheesed for the camera and Carlos stole my hat but looked so darn cute in it I couldn’t fight him. Trey gets so into the symphony, claps along and really enjoys the music, but late mornings are tough for Trey, as it’s naptime and he just couldn’t stay awake for the whole performance. As a treat after the symphony, we always go across the street to get gelato. Cute pic of the guys enjoying their treat!

Friday night Dee and I went on a date….gasp!…..and saw “Fools Gold”. Pretty good, it was mindless entertainment and nice to have a break. We don’t get a ton of us time so when we do we really cherish it.

We did a little shopping before heading home (Children’s Place was having a half off their clearance sale, got some new jean for Trey, pants and a shirt for Levi and Carlos got a new tie). Also picked up a Valentine’s shirt for Levi.

This weekend we’ve been lying low….Mary made us a yummy breakfast and she I took Levi and Alice to the Democratic caucus. I haven’t seen so many cars parked along the road at Woodward since the Rotary Auction. Levi was bored, hell, I was bored but it was all important to get my vote to count. It was overwhelmingly Obama supporters, I figured it would be a closer race with Hillary. I’m still not sold….anyhow, no politics here!

Nana and Papa brought dinner on Saturday and that was a treat! The boys hadn’t had hard shelled tacos before and they loved them. Dean came to visit as well and we had lots of laughs as we always do with Dean.

Today I woke up coughing, fever, sore throat….yeah, pretty much feeling like I’d been run over by a truck. Life goes on, though, in this house and Carlos and I ran to the store to grab some breakfast and much needed coffee before the others woke up. Got home, ate and just let the boys play around for awhile. We had a memorial service to go to for a friend’s mom, came home and headed out to do my Sunday shopping with Suzanne. Just had a lazy evening, trying to feel better and get some laundry done, boys through the bath and tucked into bed. Needing some sleep here and hoping to feel human again in the morning. Either way, there will be 3 needy boys ready for me to be functioning by the a.m.
