What a Weekend!!

WOW!  I'm not sure we could have squeezed anything else into our weekend!! 

We went to St. Joe for some shopping & dinner on Friday (pretty laid back compared to the rest of the weekend!)

Saturday we woke up bright & early - "we were up before the sun" as Madi would say.  We had 3 soccer games, the first being at 8am, the kids were not happy about having to be on the soccer field before they would normally leave for school, but somehow (sarcasm) they managed to make it through ;)  Boston's games were 12-2 & 15-5, they kicked butt  - WAY TO GO GALAXY!  Madi's game was 3-2 with a win as well!  NICE JOB WILDCATS!  After that we went to Willie's to have lunch and see daddy for a little bit.  Then it was grocery shopping to get everything for Madi's fiesta the next day.  Home, cook, clean, shower, get ready, more cooking, out the door for KC.  We were off to Legends so Madi could do some shopping with her Justice card and then it was off to Arrowhead for TAYLOR SWIFT.  Madi & my niece Hayley got tickets for their birthdays from DJ & I and they were PUMPED for the concert!  We got to share a ride with Madi's friends so we didn't have to fork over the TWENTY-SEVEN dollars for parking alone!  THANK YOU LIZ FOR THAT IDEA!  The girls had a great time, but were a little cold, hey, if that's the only complaint, I'm a happy lady!!  We didn't get home until a bit after midnight, but the girls slept on the way back while I was trying to keep myself awake the whole drive home!!

Sunday, another fun packed day!  Short trip to the grocery store for forgotten things & the cake, then it's time to make lunch for the party.  We had Madi's birthday party with the fam.  She got some great gifts and lots of cash!  She is loving money because then if she sees something she wants, she can buy it herself!  In the middle of the party I had to leave for kickball.  The team we played won the game before 13-0 so we were a little scared before the game even started!  We didn't win, but we stayed with em!  Only lost 4-1.  Not terrible, but not so good.  Came home, hung out with the fam some more and then headed to Maur Hill for Boston's first flag football game!  He was SO excited!  The kids really didn't know a whole lot about what was going on, but by the end of the game I think they were getting the hang of it.  Boston's stand in coach didn't know what was going on either, so that didn't help a whole lot.  We think they won, but were never given the score so aren't real sure, but the kids had a great time, so that's all that matters.

Boston played Quarterback the entire game (he didn't really love that, he wanted to RUN)

One would think that was enough for one day, but not us, it was our anniversary, so DJ & I packed up & headed to KC for the night.  We had a really nice meal at Capital Grille on the Plaza.

We slept in, ate lunch at one of our favorite BBQ places, Jack Stack, and then walked around the Plaza - what a BEAUTIFUL day!!  Madi dropped her iPod a few months ago, so I decided to see what they could do about fixing it at the Apple store.  To my amazement, they replaced the iPod at NO COST to us!  I could not believe that!  Not only that, when I asked for a new protective case for it so this wouldn't happen again, the Apple employee told me I should try an Otter Box and they didn't sell them.  I've forgotten what this kind of customer service is like!  No where do they do that for you anymore, it's how long have you had it, how did it break, is it under warranty, no sorry, we can't help you, etc etc.  They were so nice & weren't trying to push anything I didn't need on me!

Now, I'm ready for a laid back Tuesday... O wait, not gonna happen!  O well, such is life. Happy to be happy with our crazy busy life!
