Bonding with Busia

This week has been kind of crazy. None of us have really been feeling all that well and I think poor Aaron has caught the worst of it. However, we did have a great time with my Mom before the illness hit the house.

My Mom came in last Tuesday and stayed with us until this past Tuesday. I was able to take some time off work to hang out with her and it was a much needed break. We took her to a few places she had never been before, like Keke's (our favorite breakfast place).

We were also able to pick up the kiddos from school each day, which was a nice break for them, too. We spent a lot of our afternoons playing board games, and maybe Busia was a little competitive with the 6-year-olds.

She pretty much wiped the floor with them in Sorry, but had her rear end handed to her in Yahtzee by Miss Jill. And yes, she really did throw her arms in the arm when she won, against two 6-year-olds.

We also played some mini golf, went for frozen yogurt and just had an all around good time. Naturally, we spent a day at Disney, too.

The kiddos wanted to go to Hollywood Studios, so that is where we went. We checked out the vaudeville act that they have in the morning, which neither of my children wanted to participate in which resulted in none of us scoring a dream Fastpass.

We did catch the Indiana Jones Stunt Show complete with Kurt and Brenda Warner. I almost died. Then we had some lunch, went to the Little Mermaid Show and ended at Beauty and the Beast. It was so insanely hot outside, we knew it was time to call it a day and head back home to cool off.

We cannot wait for Busia to return in July with Dzia Dzio, Kevin, Meghan and Adam!
 

Mother's Day Weekend

First and foremost, Happy Mother's Day to all of you Mommas out there! I hope you had a wonderful Mother's Day.

My weekend started with the Girlz on Fire 5k. Michelle and I thought it would be a great way to start the weekend and celebrate us. I PR'ed on the run, even in the heat and humidity. My next goal is to come in under 35 and then ultimately under 30. Baby steps...

After the race, Michelle and I celebrated at Keke's. It's one of our favorite places for breakfast.

The rest of the day was spent hanging out with the kiddos. Scott and Jillian went to lunch and Aaron and I went to lunch. I love individual time with kiddos, it gives us time just to focus on them and learn their little personalities.

Today we started our day with mass. I love that my church does May crowning on Mother's Day. There is something incredibly sweet about that. After mass, we stopped for passion tea lemonades at Starbucks. Can you tell they are my children?

We continued the Mother's Day celebration with a late lunch at Bonefish Grill with Mimi and PawPaw. Normally, I love Bonefish, but this location has really sucked it up the last few times. It was a great afternoon with them though, so that made up for it.

When we came home we did a ton of work in the yard and played some baseball. All in all it was a fantastic weekend. I hope yours was just as wonderful!
