This weekend turned out a lot differently than we had originally planned!
Before “the cold from hell” we were suppose to go see my MIL and FIL this weekend. On Saturday morning I was registered to take the GRE (which will finish my application for the Ph.D. program I am applying for at NIU) and on Saturday night Mike and I were suppose to spend our first night without Bo — at the Herrington – to celebrate our anniversary.
After Bo was in the hospital this week we decided that traveling with him this weekend probably wasn’t the smartest idea ever. We’re sad because we wanted to do all of those things (and spend time with Mike’s parents, especially Mike’s dad because today is his 60th birthday!!) but overall our weekend did not turn out too badly!
Friday afternoon I went with Mandy for haircuts and Mike made dinner. As we were finishing dinner we were greeted by a knock at the door — one of my favorite yearbook girls and her boyfriend came by, with a homemade lemon cheesecake for us! They came in and I put Bo to bed and we ended up playing Wii with them (and another one of my favorite yearbook girls) until 11 when I had to kick them out because I was just so exhausted. Bo decided to punish me for having fun and woke up at 12:30 and 4:30 that night too!
Saturday we spent most of the day just working around the house and playing with Bo. Mike even worked on the wine cellar some. Mom came over in the evening to let Mike and I go out for a little while on our own — we went to the Trace Inn for dinner and went shopping for a little while. It was nice to get out on our own — and we are both so glad that we are all feeling better! We really weren’t gone that long and we managed to make it back with plenty of time to give Bo a bath and put him to bed. (No punishment from Bo on Saturday night — he slept from 8 to 7:15 — straight through!! I wish I could figure out what is different the nights he sleeps all the way through!!)
Today we did our typical Sunday morning newspaper routine. I can’t help but love Sunday mornings at home — it really is one of my favorite times of the week. This afternoon Mom came over again and kicked us out of the house (I think she just needs her daily one-on-one fix with Bo) so we went to see Juno and I loved it!
If you haven’t see Juno yet, you definitely need to. This was our first movie since before Bo was born so maybe that made it extra good for me but I really did enjoy it. Some of the lines were classic. I may have to write an entire post about this later in the week!
Now, Bobee is in bed and I am getting ready to cuddle on the couch with Mikey to watch the LOST episode we DVRed this week. I guess it just goes to show that even when things don’t go exactly as planned they can still turn out pretty well!
