Ouch!

For not having a lot going on this weekend, it ended up being pretty packed, as usual. And painful as well! But I'll get to that in a bit....

Thursday was the jewelry party at Amy's house. It was really fun! Ria came with me (though Erica was sick and had to sit this one out) and because she was with me I got 10% off. Sweet! I can't turn down something on sale so I got a couple things for Mother's Day... and it wasn't ALL for me. :) Amy's hubby, Ria's hubby and Shawn stayed here with all the kids while we were at the party, which was an exhausting experience I think. Amy's little girl, Addie, is quite the little spitfire and clobbered all the other kids (she is the youngest, by over a year!). The kids had fun, though, despite getting bitten and hit with plastic hammers. ;)

Friday was the usual errands, laundry and attempt to catch up from all those I neglect throughout the week! That night I made a dinner that even my boys didn't complain about - fresh corn on the cob and pan fried Cod. It was actually pretty yummy!

Saturday I had good intentions to work out but ended up catching up on Oprah and hanging out with Shawn instead. That night we ran errands and then met Ria and her family at El Jardin for Cinco de Mayo. We got a free meal for the boys as well as free sopapillas for Gavin's birthday. We stuffed ourselves silly and I have never wanted more than to throw up in my life! But we had a really good time with the Wickers, as usual. :) We tried something new, too - Italian Margaritas!

Today we spent the day working in our yard. We bought a swing for our patio (thanks to Shawn's folks!) as well as some stuff to make our gardens. I am doing bulbs in thefall but we wanted to put mulch in now to make it look prettier. We picked up a couple bushes for the back of the house and got some seeds and topsoil to make a vegetable garden. I hope it works - I have never done a garden from scratch before so we'll see.

I'm supposed to be getting some herbs from a client this week so when we get it all put together, I'll be sure to post some pics. For now, I'll leave you with a picture of Gavin's first black eye. He isn't really complaining now, but he had a run in with a monster Frisbee and needless to say the Frisbee won. He's Ok but it looks pretty nasty!

Hope you had a great weekend...
