Well "girls weekend" is officially over. We had a great time. After I got my boys off on their way on Friday, it was clean, clean, clean for me. I was a cleaning fool! It felt so good to have my house spotless, (which is rare). I was exhausted. My sister in law Dana came in late Friday night. She was the first to arrive. We chit chatted for a bit then off to bed. Saturday we got up and dressed and headed to pick up the group from the airport. We first had to make a pit stop at the car rental place to pick up our "Babe magnet" 12 passenger van. We were looking so sexy in the thing. HAHA. It was actually kind of fun to drive, I must say. It was pretty funny when we pulled up at the airport. Dana and I had made a big sign to hang from the van that said OPPORTUNITY VILLAGE TRANSPORT. Anyone who is from Vegas would think that was pretty comical. After getting on the road back to my house we stopped at a sandwich shop to get some food. Were were hungry, but didnt want to get too full because we wanted to go out to dinner later. ( the first of many food feasts) Can I just say that we ate SO much this weekend. I feel like my fat rolls have multiplied! We were lucky enough to have Tyler (Hollys daughter) come and babysit Brennah and Addison while we went out to eat. She did a great job.
Sunday we were very naughty and decided to go to San Francisco for the day. I know, I know very bad. We did feel guilty, but we had a fun time. We went to Fishermans Warf (along with about a million other people in the world) and that is about it for Sunday. Oh yah, we did come home and make some goodies. We dipped strawberries and made Magic Bars.
Monday we headed to the mall and shopped for a bit. Keep in mind there was 7 women and 4 kids at my house getting dressed every morning, so it always took forever to get out the door.
We shopped for awhile and then later went out to dinner.
Tuesday, we headed to San Jose to the Valley Fair Mall. It is a huge mall. We had a great time, but we were all exhausted after. We were not able to fully enjoy the mall because we needed to be back on the road home to beat the afternoon commute. It is brutal and we wanted to avoid it. Came home and again enjoyed way too many sweets. Later that day my family came back home from camping. They were excited to see all 0f their visitors and they so kindly dumped all of their smoky, dirty laundry at my feet. Lucky me! We later left the kids home and went out to eat. Chris was lucky enough to eat with all of us girls.
Today, I got my kids off to school ( we all woke up late of course) and then we went to run a few last minute errands, a yummy lunch, and then it was off to take my family to the airport. It went by so fast, but we had a great time. I am thankful that I have such a great husband to take the most of my kids with him for the 4 days and he didnt even lose any of them and they all survived! Now I am back to realityville by doing laundry and dishes and all that fun stuff. I will try to get some pictures on this blog. Well I am off to bed. Morning comes WAY too fast. Goodnight!
