Friday: My dad got 4 tickets to Boeing's suite at the Staples Center for the Circus on Friday night. After searching forever to find a babysitter for the twins, I was able to get my good friend Kimberlee to do it. She had to call her mom in for back-up because the twins screamed for 45 minutes straight... I felt so bad. But they only had to watch them for 2 hours, then my mother-in-law came to relieve them. I've come to notice how difficult it is to find a sitter for 2 babies. If I only need someone to watch one of them, or 1 baby and Derek, I don't have a problem. But for the both of them, I usually need to get 2 people. Luckily we live close to both of our parents.
The circus was really cool. Our suite was amazing! Couches, kitchen, flat screen TV, and then great box seats to watch the circus in. Derek was in heaven.
Jason, my dad & Derek about to walk in to the suite
The boys checkin' out the place
It's amazing how animals can be trained to do these things!
Saturday: Jason worked really hard in the yard removing almost every bush, plant, and tree that wasn't his version of 'tropical'. He hated most of the existing trees and plants, and is replacing them with a more tropical theme. Lots of palms and bright flowers.
I went to Robbin's Brother's to get my rings cleaned with Jillian. Then we went to Nordstrom and did a little shopping. She was a good little girl!
Maria came over later that afternoon with dinner in tow; roasted chicken, rice, beans, chips & guacamole. Sooo yummy! We left the kids with Jason and his dad and went to my parents house so I could give her a facial. A thank-you for all her babysitting services. The kids went to bed and Jason went over to a friends house to watch the UFC fight. I watched The Reader and fell asleep. A little too boring and strange for me, I guess.
Sunday: Relaxed at home. Did a little swimming. Jason's dad came over with a couple of his workers to help Jason clear out more plants. Jason never relaxes on the weekends. There is always a project going on.
Derek played with worms.. very gross.
And he became a photographer again, capturing James in a little tantrum.
But then his brother gave hime something new to play with...
I made chicken madeira for dinner. This is my favorite dish at The Cheesecake Factory, so I thought I'd give it a try. It was very delicious!
I hope you all had an enjoyable weekend!
