Weekend Recapppp...

Woah! pretty busy around here this weekend- good stuff, good stuff. Friday night, Ryan and I decided we needed a DATE- like all by ourselves, at a nice restaurant, etc. So my mom babysat Maeve and Ryan and I headed out to "Daryls." It was sooooooo bizarre being by ourselves- really I know this sounds pathetic- but we never, EVER go anywhere by ourselves! First off, because we loooove having Maeve with us, 2nd because sometimes its more of a pain to get a babysitter than its worth, and 3rd, when we do go out its usually Applebees and its Maeves fave! SO no joking here- I cannot honestly remember the last time we went out ALONE- I am going to take a wild stab and say maybe sometime over the summer???? YIKKKES! That's bad! I know its so important to get some alone time in there, but honestly, I end up missing the bug and would rather just have her with us! :) As it was, ALLLLLLLLL we talked about was Maeve! hah... we've really turned into those old people that turn in early and get tipsy from one glass of wine :) That's okay though...

Saturday, Ryan had his class ALL day long- BOO. So Maeve and I went book shopping- we found some good kids books on super sale... we also picked up a few things for Ponce and the puppies. In the afternoon, Maeve took her nap, I took a nap, and Ryan got home an hour early from his class... we were kind of desperate for something to do- that all 3 of us could do, that wouldn't require mass amounts of money. We decided it might be fun to take Maeve to a mens gymnastics meet up at UMICH. 3 bucks a person? Can't beat that!!! It turned out to be an awesome night- Maeve loved the meet- the entire women's gymnastics team was there, rooting on their mens team, and Maeve won them all over with her clapping and screaming "Yeaaaaahh!" So that was pretty cool :) She even grabbed one of their purses and I didn't notice it until they were all laughing- I turned around and said "OMG I am so sorry!" and they were like "NO! She is fine! She's more entertaining than the meet!" For those that don't know, I get star struck really easily... so I was in complete awe of these girls and the fact that Maeve was socializing with them!!! We're going to go to a women's meet one of these Friday nights and I'm hoping they'll remember her and take some pics w/ her :)
Sunday came with a wonderful surprise- Maeve slept in until TEN!!!!!!!!!! WOAHHHHH! We kept checking on her- we were in complete shock that she was fine- just sleeping! ahhhh it was so incredibly nice to just relax in the AM :) At ten, Maeve woke up and was ravenous- after all, she's used to eating breakfast between 7:30-8. So we took her out to "Alpha Omega" our fave. grease pit... she digs the oatmeal there and we love the sausage.... also, its great because its right in the mall, so we usually hit up Target and take Maeve for a visit to Toys 'R Us. We never buy anything at TRU (our house IS a toy house!!!!) but they have this dinosaur set up that she LOOOOOOOVES. She pushes the button and gets the biggest kick out of it stomping and roaring around... we also let her out of the cart when we get to the stuffed animal section and she goes nuts running around doing all her animal noises. Anyways, its a good way to get out of the house and kill some time. :)
Tonight, we went to my parents house for a great dinner- YUM. And on our way home I had maeve in my lap (we live like 10 seconds from their house, so sometimes instead of putting her in the car seat I sit in the back with her on my lap) WELL, she head butted me SO HARD and so straight-on, square in the nose... I heard a nasty crack and instantly tears were rolling down my cheeks and my face was soaked with snot. I was yelling "RYAN SHE BROKE MY NOSE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" So we got inside and took a look- she didn't hit it sideways, so it doesn't LOOK broken... its probably not... but I SWEAR I heard a crack and it freeeaaked me out. I took a shower and Ryan gave maeve her bath... and the entire time I was in the shower I kept blowing my nose- it feels like there is something up there- but I think its just swollen or something... UGH who knows. I have sneezed like a thousand times though...
Tomorrow I was planning on the Y, but just looked at the calender for this week and realized I have an appointment in AA tomorrow morning... that means ANOTHER day I am missing my workout... BLAAAAAH! And I ate so bad this weekend! YIKES!!!! I really gotta jump back on the workout/dieting thing cause I am going to undo all the hard work I've already done!!! SO frustrating!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Oh update on Ponce... for all you bird haters, he is an awesome buuuuurdy, as Maeve calls him! :) I am not sure if he's stunned by the noise in our house or what, but he just kind of hangs out- doesn't make noise or anything... he sits on our fingers and is perfect as can be! Hopefully he stays that way... I don't want a nasty, mean, loud bird! But for now, all is good :)
