Wednesday visitors

This day started bright and early with me chugging way too much water for anyones good.  I had an ultrasound (no, not the super fun-see your baby-type of fun ultrasound).  I've been having some pain, and my doctor likes to keep an eye on a cyst that I have.  I showed up to the ultrasound place and the tech asks me when I had my gallbladder removed.  Pardon me??....I'm pretty sure I still have it.  Oh, the lady says, it says in your last report that it had been surgically removed.

Throughout the entire exam, I'm seething with rage.  I'm trying to figure out just when exactly, my gallbladder could have been taken out without me knowing...I narrowed it down to 2003, when I had a cyst removed.

Turns out the gallbladder is still there, and no law suits will be filed this month.

When I arrived home, my boys were waiting at the window, their noses pressed up against the glass.  They were SO excited.

"Guess what time it is mommy???"

"It's time that mommy is home!!!" I say super excitedly

"No, mommy....look, it's almost 10:30....aunt Laurie will be here soon!!!!!"

Silly me.

We have a pirate in our midst!

Aunt Laurie and Hadley came to visit us Wednesday morning and the boys couldn't have been more excited.  Drew must have shown the girls every toy he owned, and even dressed up in his pirate costume for them (something he reserves for his special guests).  It was such a fun morning, although I'm not sure Hunter knew what to make of little Hads.  He kept looking at her funny whenever I was holding her.

Thanks so much for making the trip over girls.  We loved seeing you, and really need to do it again soon!!

After the girls left, Hunter went down for a nap and Drew had some quiet time with some books and then some tv.  I then took him over to Terra, where they were having a paint your own pot and plant a seed activity for children.  We met up with some momstown friends there.  It was a fun activity that lasted for about an hour.  Drew is really into the whole gardening thing this year.  Am really going to have to get my act together and clean up the gardens.

Planting their seeds.

Hunter had just woken up once we arrived home, so we had to continue the planting fun by planting some more seeds.  I had purchased a "mini-greenhouse" kit at Terra and some vegetable seeds (pumpkin, pepper and tomato).  We set to work and a great mess was made!

Once the seeds were planted, it wasn't long before the machinery was brought out....

Since East Side Mario's was doing a kid's eat free promotion for march break, we decided to capitalize on the free meals and head there for dinner.

Drew's awesome drink...complete with cherries and cotton candy.

Hunter with milk and apple juice....will eventually share in the awesome drink above.

Thanks for sharing with me, brother.

Happy camper.

Dinner is always great there (knock on wood).  Free kids meals is always a nice bonus.  We also had a 5$ off coupon.  We rock.

After dinner, we weren't done with the awesomeness yet.  It was James' last day off, so we decided to go out with a bang and head over to Skedaddles to close out the evening.  The boys had a blast, and seriously didn't stop running the entire time.

Fun times with daddy.

It was one of the best days that I can remember.  So much fun.  Capped off with a bottle of wine....can't get much better than that!
