We had such a busy weekend. Friday night we thought it would be fun to go out to dinner. Ben and I don't get to see each other much during the week. He wakes up at 4 am and usually gets home at a descent time, but both kids are usually awake and it is crazyness. I start the bedtime routine at about 7:15 and once I am done with Courtney, then it is time to feed Caylee about 8. Ben goes to sleep about 8 because he wakes up so early. So that leaves us with no time to chat. So we decided to do dinner out, every place was so crowded and it was not relaxing like we wanted. We barely had two minutes to chat. On my way home, I got a text from a friend who needed me to come over, so I came home and quickly put the girls to bed, but by the time I got to my friend's house it was 9:45.

Saturday was good, Ben had to play at a funeral so the girls and I stayed home. It was good to finally have a morning home with nothing to do. However, I didn't get anything done really because both girls were awake and nothing much happens. But I did get to play with Courtney a bunch. We had fun. I had plans to get my hair done and then go to a baby shower, but then I found out from a friend that I had the wrong date for the shower. So I just got my hair done. I'm glad the shower was a different day, because they took forever on my hair. But the girl did a good job. I just love getting my hair done. I love the head massage and it look so good. All clean and light. Ben stayed home with Courtney and I took Caylee. Since Caylee won't take the bottle, I am stuck taking her. But she was so good. I sang to her in the car as we arrived and rocked her in the carseat and she slept for 2 1/2 hours so I could get my hair done. So nice! We wanted to do something fun as a family so we went to Benihana, where they cook in front of you, there was an 1 1/2 hour wait. We didn't feel like getting back into the car to find something else so we just ate in the bar. Courtney was being so bad, I had to take her out of the restaurant like 3 times and Caylee was fussy. So between the 2 I had to scarf down my food and be on guard for choas. All the way home, Courtney was yelling and screaming and Caylee cried. Our stress levels were thru the roof. After trying to talk to each other all night and not being able to, Ben made one last attempt, I said "Just text it to me!". It's sad but that is the only way we can communicate sometimes.

On Sunday, Ben had worship at church and then we went to some friend's house afterwards. They have a little girl Courtney's age and a great backyard, so Courtney had a blast. But she accidently pooped on their daughter's floor! Whoops! She has been pooping at naptime, so when she skipped her nap that day I forgot that it would possibly happen. After the kids played, it was back to church for 415. Courtney loves this time. All the families get together to worship, eat and there is a little lesson for the kids. Courtney sings and does the motions and plays with all the girls afterwards. It's so funny because all the little 8-10 year old girls play so well with her and she loves the attention.

All in all it was a busy, yet good weekend.
