wonderful weekend

This weekend was a pretty nice one.  John came home from work early, which was awesome, and surprised the boys by picking them up from daycare.  On a side note, our daycare is still working out REALLY well and we love it and the boys do too :-)  As I believe, everything is in God's plan so there is a reason our kids are at this daycare.  At any rate, we decided to go out to dinner, and not fast food, which is usually all our kids can really handle.  We went to Chili's and the boys were awesome!  We have not enjoyed a meal out as a family of four that was that enjoyable in a LONG time. 

On Saturday we cleaned the house in the morning and ran some errands.  John and some buddies went up to the Iowa State/UNI game and the boys and I hung out at home.  It was really cold and rainy most of the afternoon so we snuggled up and watched Home Alone that was on TV.  John had a good time at the game and got to see Ben Boothby play for UNI. 

Sunday we relaxed most of the morning and then headed over to the outlet mall and I bought a few items of clothing :-) and John took the boys so I could shop by myself.  It was a wonderful day and the weather was GREAT!  When we got home I had to run to the mall to get one more thing and John and the boys hung out at home.  When I got home we worked in the yard and took a couple walks around the block.  We also stopped and chatted with a newer neighbor gal.  She has a little boy that is a month older than Jacob.  She is a super nice gal and I always enjoy stopping by and visiting with her.  All and all a nice weekend.

Next weekend we head to Champaign to visit John's parents and go the Illinois/Ohio State game.  Should be a fun weekend as John and I will also go out on a date that night :-)  We haven't done that in MONTHS so we are due for a date night :-)
