This past weekend was such a blast. We finally had a weekend off with no sports – HOORAY!! It was so nice to have no agenda!! Friday night Zach and I had date night. Now I’m not a big believer in the whole Valentine’s Day but it does give Zach and me a free babysitter for night when Cathi offers to babysit for us. So of course we took advantage of it. We went to eat at Oyster Bar – Oh my…it’s so good!! It was very busy but it was still a very good meal. We got to talk and take our time to eat. It was nice to have grown up time!

Saturday we got to sleep in and that was so nice. I almost forgot what it was like to sleep in. Ashton and I played Monopoly for over 5 hours!! Neither one of us were willing to let the other one win so it was down to the very last dollar. I am happy to say that I beat the pants off that child – ha ha!! It was after 9:00 at night so we were happy to put the game up and snuggle on the couch and watch the Olympics.

Sunday we got to sleep in again and Zach went to get us donuts!! We got to go skiing with some great friends for the day (Clark’s, Moore’s, O’Haver’s and Sausaman’s). They each brought their own kids and it was a blast. I stayed in the lounge and kept a few of the other parents company. We got home at 10:30 that night and getting the boys up for school this morning was easier than I had thought. I’m glad we are able to give our kids these things. They get to grow and become independent and learn how to grow with their friendships. I cherish everyday I get to be their mom.
