We had a great weekend- sans pictures...

We had some fun family time over the weekend. I took Ava swimming on Thursday (not the weekend!) with Mindi, Kari and the kids. It was a little windy and chilly, but of course- Ava completely loved it and wasn't fazed. Friday is my long long work day so nothing fun ever happens, but at least Luke and I get to spend quality time together when I get home from work :) Saturday Luke, Mindi, and I ran a 5k for the Hemophilia foundation and Mindi and I did it in 32 minutes- pretty impressive for a 15 week pregnant lady! Luke did it in 26 minutes which is also very impressive :) When we got home we showered (thank goodness!) and ran errands. We took Ava to Barnes and Noble to play with the trains and to get some new books, went to Old Navy and got 2 great dresses for $30 which I thought was pretty good, went to Hogi Yogi and used our race coupons on some delicious sandwhiches, went to Smith Tixx to find our tickets to The Fray are twice as expensive as advertised :( and then went home. After Ava's nap we saw a matinee of the new Disney movie "Up." Ava did so great for the first time during a whole movie- except she is deathly afraid of sitting on the stadium chairs since they can fold back up if your not heavy enough!--- figures, she's not afraid of anything, but put her on a folding chair and she freaks! The movie itself was alright I thought. I was a little bored and I miss the cute little Aladdin and Cinderella type movies. ***Spoiler: any movie that startes out with a couple nbot being able to have kids and a old lady wife dying is not my idea of entertainment**** Anyway- afterwards we went to the mall and I got a $108.00 shirt for $15.00 which I consider a HUGE success!!! Then went to our favorite Japanese/Sushi joint and filled ourselves up before fast sunday :) Sunday was relaxing with a fitting dinner of homemade chili and cornbread (it was gloomy, rainy day) finished up with scotch-a-roos for dessert. We played games for hours (well, not me exactly- I don't like the game everyone seems to be obssessed with so I look for any excuse to opt out!)- but I was able to get some quality reading in. *** Wives and Daughters, an 1800's novel by Elizabeth Gaskill which after reading 650 pages I learned that the book wasn't going to end because she died right before completing it!! ARRRGGHHH- couldn't it have warned me of that from the beginning!? Anyway- great weekend. My mom's up this week to watch Ava until our nanny gets home from vacation :) Fun times to come. Oh, and I will be spending a glorious day at Girl's Camp on Wednesday.... Hope it doesn't rain that day! I have some super sexy metallic red cowboy boots in honor of our theme!
