a weekend of "obligations"

to be honest the above title references to an inside joke; although we do have several things planned [practically] every weekend, i wouldn't necessarily call them "obligations". lol

friday night i took the kids to eat at brooklyn's pizza with grandma, grandpa and uncle alex. russ had to work late and celena had plans so it was just us for our weekly ritual. i don't know whether there was something in the pizza or if we were just REALLY HUNGRY but for some reason, me and kids couldn't stop eating! it was slice after slice after slice! i don't mind the kids eating so much, but as for myself, i have GOT to watch my pizza cosumption next time...

saturday we spent the morning and afternoon in st. augustine for the MARCH FOR LIFE procession in the honor of the anniversary of Roe vs. Wade. We went last year and this year was just as cold! no worries -- we just bundled up the kids and with the sun shining nice and bright you couldn't even tell the temperature was in the 30's and 40's. it was a beautiful afternoon all around!

beautiful st. augustine

Cemetery of Innocence

These 4,000 crosses represent the numher of babies aborted each day in the U.S.

we had to leave a little early because we had a birthday party to go to at 4:00. so we drove straight home, ate lunch on the way, did the whole potty thing with the kids when we got home, re-packed the "diaper" bag, grabbed the birthday gift and got right back in the car to head to the party. it was at a cute little gym center and the theme was dinosaurs! the kids had lots of fun!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY ASHTON!

what a horrible picture but it was the only one i got of russell and then my battery died :(

while we were at the party, russ received a text from our friends emily and charlie asking if we had any "obligations" that night ;) we made a quick call to russ's mom and after she so wonderfully agreed to hang out at the house while the kids slept, we we were able to join our friends for a fun night of catching up, eating, drinking and playing games. those nights are so few and far between for us!

sunday morning we went to mass while the kids went to "sunday school".

that afternoon, we had yet ANOTHER birthday party to go to! isaac turned 3 years old and was having his party at mcdonalds. i brought my camera but decided not to take it out because brittani had hers and i know she always getst the good pictures! besides, when i got home, i discovered that my camera was missing my battery pack! so i wouldn't have been able to take pics even if i wanted to! pics of the party to come (i'll have to steal these whenever brittani uploads them).

so i end my night with my normal sunday [legal] work... and a nice long blog just for you guys!

hope your weekend was just as eventful, exciting or as happy as ours!
