the weekend

the weekend was crazy long!

friday night, anna and i had to do some last minute shopping. we were running around all over town buying various items for the baby shower, that she would be having with her family the following day. we hit up 2 different grocerie stores, best buy, and the dollar store. we had to do all of this in under 2 hours because the in-laws were almost in town and had not eaten anything yet. anna's family is not shy about expecting food from you! lol we hurried up and then stopped at kfc to grab some chicken to feed the family. we were dead tired when we got home. we quickly set up dinner and then the family arrived. i played with my neice and nephew. one is a 4 year old boy and the other is a 1 year old girl and man did they hate each other. lol mad fighting! have you ever seen super nanny? yep!

on saturday i had to go into work for a few hours. it gave me some time to breath. when i got home we quickly prepared all the essentials that we needed for the baby shower and did some more running around. eventually, the entire family arrived at our place and we squeezed them in to our tiny apartment. 5 o'clock eventually came around and we headed out to the shoreview community center. we set up and ate. we were in a hurry cause we only had 2 hours. the ladies did their thing and the guys and kids went swimming. it was a blast! this is the first time i've been in charge of over 13 kids in a swimming pool. it was pretty easy cause the girls in anna's family are very well disciplined and did a great job with helping me. on the other hand, the boys are mad naughty. i had to keep a 1 year old with me at all times and chase down all the boys if they were doing something naughty..like climbing on things they shouldn't be. it was great to practice watching kids since my little guys are coming in just a few months. i've really opened up to children these past few months. i definetly was not a kid person until anna got pregnate. lol

after the shower the family went to my bro-in-law's place to play poker. we were invited but got stuck baby sitting some kids at our place. so were we really invited? just kidding! some of the in-laws wanted to go to myth so we baby-sat their kids. we missed church on sunday because they never came back for them. lol

after waiting around for some of my in-laws to recover from their hang over we were finally able to run to the store to go buy audrey's birthday present. we headed out to grand slam. it was a blast hanging out with everyone and playing some arcades. i haven't been to an arcade in so long. we got audrey some clothes, which came in handy, because she had an accident so our present was used right away. good call by anna!

we got home sunday night around 8:30ish. anna and i spent a good 2 hours on our favorite hobbies. she scrap booked and i jammed on my guitar. went to bed and i talked anna to sleep and annoyed her for a good 30 minutes before knocking out myself. i think it's in the "her" genetics to annoy their spouse. hehe
