Me and the kids had to do some errands while Chris went to work for the day. Laundromat, grocery shopping, visited my mom for a bit and washed my car at her house. Then about 5pm, I got back home where I met up with Chris. He brought my best friend Jessica, Jessica's fiance Nate (Chris' best friend), and their baby Ashley :) We all hung around the yard for a bit before the guys decided on Pizza for dinner. So, us girls grabbed pizza while the guys bought some drinks and we all met up at the bait shop. No shrimp. Thankfully there's a gas station 30 seconds down the road who had frozen shrimp.
We went down to the bridge that goes over Manatee River on Hwy 41. It was crazy windy and we have never had the best of luck there so before we even started, we left and went to some pier that I've never been to. The walk down the pier was SO long, my legs and ankles were so swollen (stupid hypothyroidism). We started at 9 and left just after midnight. Eric, Chris' good friend from childhood, caught a catfish in the beginning so I was hopeful for this new fishing spot. But there was a whole lot of nothing out there. So at the end, I was reeling up my line and it gets heavier very suddenly. I ended up catching a mudfish. Lol. But we all had a good time and the kids slept all the way home. The moms and kids all left and we stayed at my house until the guys finished fishing at wherever else they went to. They got back home about 3:30am.
Left to right: Eric, Chris, Nate, Elaina, Jessica, Ashley in the stroller. I'm guessing Lily and Jonathan were both next to me or just out of the picture. It was a nice group of people to bring along. Everybody had a good time :)
Sunday
Sunday, Sunday, Sunday!!! What did I do today? Lol, stupid brain fog. I had a terrible time sleeping last night. I had a cold wet frog jump on my chest this morning. UGH! I grabbed it and body-slammed it against the back of the couch. Then I stood up and looked for it but it was nowhere. I woke up Chris to try to find it but he couldn't see it either. Whatever. I tried to sleep with him in bed but he's only got a twin bed. It wasn't long before I was back to the couch. I think I got 2 hours of sleep this morning. I'm so tired of these frogs. Grrrr....
So, Chris tells me that he's going fishing today but he's only taking Jonathan and 2 of his guy friends. So he gave me a few dollars and he says "You can go hang out at WalMart or something". That's usually my popular hangout spot. Lol. But I figured I haven't taken the kids to Party City in awhile so I figured I would surprise them :)
Stopped by my favorite area which is the separate candies that you can get 15 for $1 OR they're 7 cents each. I made a $1 bag for me, Jonathan, and Chris. The girls brought their own money and they picked out their own items there. I also got Jonathan one of those Ninja Turtle PlayPacks with the coloring book, stickers, and crayons inside.
We then swung by Dollar Tree on the way home. We were all wanting some ice cream so I bought a little tub of what I thought was cookies n creme but come to find out, it was plain vanilla. But it's ok because on the way home, I was thinking about making a root beer float. And I totally did make one! it was so yum and delicious ^_^
Elaina was not wanting to cooperate or listen to me so I sent her to bed maybe 30 minutes ago so she could calm down and collect herself but I'm pretty sure she fell asleep. Lol. I am feeling just so exhausted right now. Oh my gosh. I think I'm going to lay down. Remember: Sunday should be a rest day. It's the last day of the weekend for you to catch up on all the relaxation you missed during the week. Soak it up when you can. Now, I'm going to take full advantage. Have a great rest of your weekend.
