Weekend update

Well that was a fun weekend. On Friday my fiancée and I, did a little shopping while we were waiting to pick up the boys. We got her some new prescription sunglasses. We also had dinner at Luby's. Has anyone else ever been to Luby's? I know.. it's a cafeteria and it is filled with senior citizens, but the food was good and we could get different things... as Alex says "I like Luby's for the variety" It was also fun to see a totally different crowd.

The boys were only with me for one day this weekend, but we had a great day. Alex and Andy played with the next door neighbor boys, they went to the park, the played at the playground, they rode bikes. Alex and I had some time alone together, we went to get some bottled water and he got a Hawaiian Shaved Ice. We went to my sisters for a couple of hours and the boys went in the pool, then we came home and Alex and I picked up some pizza and the video "Extreme Ops". I invited the boys from next door over and we all had pizza and watched the movie. The boys took their showers and were in bed by 9pm.

I had called in the morning to tell my ex wife that if she wanted the boys on Mothers day that she would have to come pick them up. my ex father in law picked up the phone.. I gave him the message and hung up. I think it is only fair.. I was half tempted to tell them that "we had something to do in the morning, so come by at 10:30am instead of 8:30am" but I told myself long ago that I will not become the monster that she is. I was just going to make her drive out to pick up the boys on Mothers day. Besides, I did have something to go to. My nephew was having his first communion.

I sat with the boys in the morning and we laughed because Andy thinks that his bed is bouncier that Alex's. It probably is, he has a different mattress.

Well,, the got there at 8:30am and Andy was in no big hurry to get dressed or to put his shoes on. I am glad that I sat with them for awhile, because even though they were in the house and the couldn't be seen from the car outside.. they refused to give me a hug goodbye. They kept their arms at their sides.. as if their mother could see through walls.

After the first communion, we all went up to my sister's to celebrate Mother's day. My fiancée is getting very comfortable with my family.. that's very good.. because my family is sort of crazy sometimes.


We went home and took a nap.... and here I am, back at work... with only


more days to go!
