Another weekend in the books. The last weekend of April. I can't believe how fast this year is going. It seems like only yesterday it was Christmas and we had piles of snow on the ground that we thought would never go away. Now flowers are up, the grass is green and thunderstorms are in our forecast! We have had quite a bit of rain but I'd rather have that then snow. I think most everyone would agree with me on that note. This weekend has, as usual, flown by in a blink of an eye.
Friday we were suppose to go watch my dad play at Church. He got an awesome opportunity. It started at 7. Michael has been working OT all week. He was suppose to get home at 5:30. This turned into 6, which changed to 6:30 and at 7:15, we walked in the door. I felt horrible. I had called my mom prior and told her we probably couldn't get there. Jake was not in a mood that I would want to cart him anywhere. I have a theory that men PMS just like women. I think Jake had a PMS weekend. It's been an adventure. After feeling horrible for a while, we finally ate dinner and around 8ish we watched Avatar. I am sort of thankful I did not see it in theaters. I believe I would have been sick with it in 3D. It still was a pretty good movie. I would watch it again. It's pretty fascinating seeing how the created everything. No wonder it took 10 years. We were up late enough to watch some awesome lightning and hear a pretty great storm!
Saturday the rain continued! Jake was still not having it. With anything. He hated everything, didn't like food, and was just a poopy pants! We headed down to Ottumwa to see David. It was a good trip. We went out for lunch and went for a walk. We went to his church and met a few people. We then headed to Pella. We picked a great weekend for it. The flowers were blooming and just gorgeous. I hope they fly more in or something because I don't know how they will last another 2 weeks. We walked around for a few hours. It was fun! Plus we got caught in the rain so Jake danced around in it and had a blast! We of course had to stop Jaarsma to spend a heft amount of money! We were having a girls night so I picked up a sampler of a few things. Michael of course had to get his 8 Dutch Letters that wil be consumed before Monday is over! We then headed home! It was a great day with Uncle David! That night I went to Beth's house for pizza and a Lifetime movie girls night in! Haha. The movie never happened but we all had a good talk! I enjoy the talks more than the movies! Ellen and I didn't end up leaving till about 11:45. Yikes.
Today has been a very lazy Sunday. Michael had to work from 7-11. I was fortunate to have a very tired child from the previous day and got to sleep in till 9. I woke up a few times to a howling Hawkeye that cries when Michael leaves. So annoying. After Michael got home from work, we went grocery shopping and then did nothing. I mean, laundry and all that, but nothing else. We were all just exhausted! Have another full week/weekend ahead. Wedding season is kicking off on Saturday and we have a baseball game on Friday! Hoping to squeeze a few more things on in later this week too. Now we are just relaxing while Michael watches Armageddon for the 100th time while eating our Dairy Queen treats! Hey, get one blizzard, get another for $0.25. Good deal! Count me in!
On a side not, I got a letter from the court on Saturday. I WAS DISQUALIFIED FOR JURY DUTY!! Ha! I did a happy dance and shredded that piece of paper and my juror information. Until the next round court system!
Here are a few photos from this weekend.
