Quite the memorial day weekend.
Saturday, the entire clan headed to Dickinson to see Jen's very pregnant sister Carrie (by very pregnant, I mean...gonna pop any day).
We spent most of the day which was fun...and then headed home thinking the kids would sleep. Nope. Screamfest 2005.
Thus Sunday there was much "crab-ability" in our children.
Fast forward to Sunday evening, after watching Return of the Jedi and The Phantom Menace.......it was 11:30 and we get a call from Jen's mom....Carrie was in labor.
The adrenaline rushes. Jen showers and readies herself for her mom to come pick her up for the trek back to the Queen City. About 20 minutes later we get another phone call. The labor is going too fast....there is no way they will make it in time. If you have ever had a baby, you will know how unexciting the next few hours after all the excitement are.....so Jen and her mom decided to head down Monday morning.
Bright and early Monday morning....news is delivered that at 2 am a baby boy arrived...mom and baby are doing very well.
Jen arrived home around 5 pm Monday.....tired and noticeably happy!
Tonight is a preplanned Girls night out....so Jen is going out with her mom and sister for a night of shopping and food. They should have a good relaxing time.
What's that? What did I do with the kids while Jen was in Dickinson? Well, I'm glad you asked.
We got ready and headed to the zoo. We smelled the animals, rode the train and otherwise had a very fun time as I was lead around the zoo by the kids.
Afterwards, we came home for grilled cheese followed by GameCube tournament....which was Mark, his buddy Mitch, Sabrina and I as Annie napped.
Mark and Mitch handed me my butt as these two are professionals at this game. I held my own for a while...or so I thought. I thought I was doing well for the first time ever playing that game. Turns out...they were taking it easy on me.
Thanks Guys!
