Busy, fun weekend

It looks like we have busy weekend schedules coming up!  Starting with this weekend.  Hopefully I'll start feeling a lot better soon and be able to keep up more!  I had to take a nap both days.  Beca and I started Friday doing some shopping and dinner at Red Robin while Steve was playing poker.  He was home pretty early but all of his girls were exhausted, including Zoe, so we were all passed out asleep.  Saturday morning, Beca and Steve went to a fun birthday party - and Beca got to bowl for the first time.  At least not on the Wii but with a real ball and pins bowling.  She got a 66!
Saturday night we went to the Leahy house and played with the A-team!  It was so much fun to watch the twins and Aidan1  But even more fun to catch up with friends!  I ate too much so I stayed full for about 3 hours and then had to eat again anyway!  Steaks, twice baked potatoes, green beans, bread, fruit, pound cake and chocolate fruit dip!  Alec loved the pound cake and Addison wanted more and more fruit!  Beca and Aidan just wanted to play!  I'm starting to remember some of the craziness of having really little ones and the importance of their schedule.  We got home pretty late with a little girl who was exhausted but she still insisted she was hungry.  Then she slept until after 8 am and I think she only woke up then because she had a bad dream.
I had several pregnancy moments this morning.  I had to stop at the grocery store on the way to brunch but then I remembered something else I had forgotten at the house.  Then when we left the house a second time, I couldn't remember if I had left Zoe outside or not.  She wasn't - she was upstairs somewhere asleep and didn't pay attention to the fact that we had come back home.  Eventually we made it to brunch at Traci and Carl's.  It was fun but Beca insisted that she didn't like French Toast.  She was in a combative mood all morning about everything though.  Eventually the berries sufficed.  She did get to go ride on Traci's old go-cart with Carl.  Traci and I used to ride it up to the pool.  I don't think we'd both fit on that seat any more though!  I love their house.  They have lots of sweet pictures around the house - mostly wedding so it was fun to see her bridal portraits hanging up.  It also made me think about photography a bit more.  I love when I can take photos of people I know and love but I'm always so worried that it isn't going to turn out well.  I know it is just an occasional hobby and I'm good with that.
Then I slept for over 3 hours.  Beca did not have a nap so now we're headed up to read a chapter of Charlotte's Web and go to sleep!
