Birthday Weekend

It was my birthday weekend last weekend! Don came home from work at 12:45 on Friday, my mom came over to take the kids and we were off. First we checked into a super nice hotel (the one we stayed at for Don's birthday) then we went to the movies, which we haven't done in FOREVER. We saw the Hobbit, it just seemed like one of those movies that is epic enough that it should be seen in the theater.  Then we went out to dinner, I even wore a dress to the occasion! Finally we went to the symphony to listen to music with a Diva theme. The next day we had a late morning- strolled around shops, hung out in comfy leather chairs of Starbucks and generally relaxed. We showed up at home in time to make sure that our VERY tired children took a nap. The kids seemed to have as good of a time as we did- they get to stay up VERY late with Grandma and Grandpa and they generally get to do anything they want. When we got home they looked hungover- they were so tired and in need of water and healthy food it was funny to watch- they took huge naps (they usually don't sleep at all) and then laid around the rest of the day which made it seem like our little vacation lasted even longer then it actually was. Over all it was a great time!
