This weekend Andy decided to take the 2 kids down to California for 1 overnight. My parents were going to my sister's house to bring the girls home, and at the same time they decided to stay and celebrate Brayden's 4th birthday. Because it's only a 2 hour drive, Andy thought it would be fun for Alyssa to go down, see the new house and have a fun birthday party with the cousins.
On the contrary, this meant mama would have Friday night and all day Saturday to herself! I was thrilled, but also knew I had a few things I wanted to get done while they were gone. I decided to go ahead and go grocery shopping Friday night. It was nice to do this without kids in the cart, asking for stuff, Jaden taking things of the shelf, etc. It was actually peaceful and I was able to browse, something I rarely get to do these days. I got some take out on the way home and enjoyed a quiet Friday night. Caught up on some "mom" shows ~ thanks to HGTV and Food Network!
Saturday, I slept in a bit, cooked myself a nice breakfast and headed off to Kohl's to spend a gift card that I had received for my birthday. I came back home, mopped the floors and it was time to get ready for a girl's night out. Jo Ann bought Alan Jackson concert tickets for the 3 of us to go for my birthday gift. Michelle, Jo Ann and I headed to the "M Resort & Casino" for dinner and the show. We ate at Marinelli's Italian restaurant. It was delicious, and the best part of all was enjoying a great dinner and adult girl conversation! Then we headed out to the pool, which was where the concert was set up. We had 6th row seats for Alan Jackson! It was such a great show. Towards the end of the show we boogied our way up to the stage, danced a bit and then waited for some souvenirs. Michelle was lucky enough to catch a guitar pick and then I was the luckiest to get the play list off the stage! I was so excited!
After a great night out, we headed back home. Andy and the kids were back from California by the time I got home. Kids were fast asleep and I headed off to bed!
