Fantastic Weekend!

So, this weekend was one of the best I have had in a long time. I woke up Friday morning with a seriously hurt neck. I quickly showered and took Allie to the dentist to have 2 cavities filled and she did awesome. Then I went to my chiropractor's office to see if he could squeeze me in and he did thankfully and I was able to have a gentle adjustment and electric stimulation to help heal my neck. Then I headed home and luckily my baby napped for 4 hours in the afternoon and I was able to nap for 3 of those hours, yay! Justin came home with some beautiful flowers and picked up a pizza for dinner and then we just chilled and watched TV, it was a nice evening.

On Saturday morning I was still really hurting so Justin let me take a nap. He tried to get out the door on time to Tim's soccer game but was running late so when he brought me lunch in bed I took the baby off his hands and sent him out the door. The baby napped and I cleaned up a bit and then he watched the kids in the afternoon while I went grocery shopping for some food for Mother's Day and more pain meds. Then we got a babysitter and went to dinner with my siblings in SLC at Red Robin for Liz's graduation and we had a great time talking and laughing.

Then on Sunday morning at 2 AM Justin got up with the baby and fed him and got him back to bed so I could sleep all night, thanks honey! I woke up at 7 AM to start getting ready for church and opened my Mother's Day gift from my kids that they made at preschool and it was hilarious. It was a Mom's cookbook and basically the kids told Mrs. Parke what they would make for their moms and she wrote it down exactly how they said. I will post below what they both wrote in the cookbook, so funny! Then Justin made me scrambled eggs with cheese (he doesn't even like eggs!) and bacon with hot chocolate for breakfast, yum! While I showered Justin wrapped my kids up in 5 beach towels to give me for Mother's Day, which I wanted and asked for :) Then at church the baby slept the whole time and I was given some yummy Dove chocolate which I ate during church, yum again! Then we came home and Justin made me a tasty lunch and didn't play video games at all on Sunday and got some organization projects done which I liked. We watched the Emma Smith movie and hung out with the kids and headed to my in-laws for dinner. We had a yummy dinner and the guys all cleaned up while the girls talked and enjoyed each other's company. We headed home and got our kids to bed and then went to bed early ourselves, it was so nice.

What a great weekend, truly! Also, what made it really nice was I still had some Percocet left from having a baby and it truly made the pain in my neck bearable and it makes me relaxed and happy which definitely helped. Gotta love great pain meds!

Here are my kids cookbook entries:

Allison McMurray -

Princesses:
3 cups milk
5 chicken pieces

Mix milk and chicken together. Then put dresses on them and make some eyes on them. Ariel needs a pink head. Then we need some fingers on their hands. Then add some feet.

Timmy McMurray

Peanut butter and Jelly sandwiches:
2 pieces of bread
Jelly
Peanut butter

Spread some peanut butter around on the bread and then add the jelly. Then we close them up and then cut them into 4 triangles. Then we eat them.

Timmy's was exactly right and Allie's was just funny!!
