Best Saturday ever

I honestly never thought in a million years that the things that happened today would happen, but I am truly, honestly, extremely thankful and grateful that they did!  In the morning my sister and I had an impromptu picnic at a playground with her crew and mine and it was a blast.  We played for a few hours and had burgers.  My sister and I got to hang out and just talk.  And talk talk about stupid random things... things that you would expect friends to talk about without any weirdness or worry of a lecture about to happen.  It was awesome.  And the things that we talked about were amazing and fun.  It was a whole new side to my sister that I have never experienced before, and I gotta say, its my favorite.  I know that picnic and a playground don't sound earth shattering but it was... and it was awesome.  I was sad when we had to leave but my kids needed a nap and I had to get ready for a birthday party that wasn't actually scheduled for today!







A friend of mine had her son the day after Lucy was born.  She came into the hospital at the same time I did but since mine was a scheduled c-section I knew that I was having Lucy that day, but she came in and labored and then had Max the day after.  We got invited to his birthday party and I just assumed that it was going to be that Saturday (since his birthday was on Wednesday).  They planned to go on a bike ride (since their family is really into that) but I couldn't see how we were going to fit all our bike riding gear in the car along with everybody... so we planned on hitting the party at their house afterwards.  She estimated that they would be home between 3-4 so we came around 3:45 because I figured that it would take longer than expected.  Nobody was home.  I sent her a text to see how far out they were but no reply.  Since the day was so nice I thought that we would just walk around her neighborhood until we either heard back from them or we saw them come home.  Lucky for us there was a little playground a few blocks away that the kids enjoyed playing at.  I finally decided that we shouldn't wait any longer so I called her to find out what was going on and she said that they were in a different city than the intended bike ride destination!  I was so confused... and then she said that Max's party was a totally different weekend NEXT MONTH.  It never occurred to me that it would not be the weekend of his birthday but... looks like I am all ready to go for when his party actually is!  haha.  We had a nice time outside though so it wasn't a total loss.






Later that night I realized I had gotten sunburned from our outings all day and I have to say, I kinda enjoyed it.  Another first happened with my sister that night as well.... we did car bombs together.  haha.  She is the world's SLOWEST drinker though... we had a laugh about that.  It was really just a great day with family and friends.  Later that night we hid the eggs for Easter which was fun to do!
