Great Weekend!!

We had a really nice weekend. It wasn't anything overly exciting, but it was nice. On Friday we were supposed to have dinner at my mom's for her husband's birthday, but those plans fell through. So, we just hung around at home. My little nephew came over and spent the night with us. It's always fun to have him around! He's my little buddy. Saturday was spent at Taylor's soccer game, getting haircuts, and then dropping the kids off with their dad. That night my mom and I went with friends to see Rent at the Fox! I wish I would have gotten some pictures. It was fun to get out and do something. I also love going to the city! I will live there someday... mark my words! I felt really cute on Saturday night.. I was wearing a really fun black top, my favorite super dark denim jeans and my pointy-toed black shoes. I had also flat ironed my hair, and was having a really good make-up night. It was really nice to feel good about myself for a change! The show itself was a little dissapointing because the sound wasn't that great. So, it was really hard for my mom to follow the story. The DVD is much better, so I am going to let her borrow it so she can watch it and understand the story.
On Sunday morning I got all of our laundry done, and then my Grandma and I had a baking fest! We made 2 lemon pies, one with meringue (sp?) topping, and one with whipped cream topping. I also made Savannah Cheesecake Cookies (a Paula Deen recipe) and they were soo good! I'll have to post the recipe. That evening we went to my mom's for dinner. We grilled hamburgers & hotdogs, and had potato salad, mac & cheese, baked beans, and birthday cake. My sister, BIL, and their kids came over, too. It was fun! Corey brought the kids to me at my mom's house so they could be a part of the birthday dinner. It was good to see him, and I am so glad that we are getting along better. I know it makes it a lot easier for the kids, too.
The kids had a really nice time spending the night with their dad. They ordered pizza on Saturday night, and then yesterday they went to visit Corey's parents, and then to the movies in the afternoon. They saw Forbidden Kingdom with Jackie Chan and Jet Li. They all enjoyed it!
Well, that's it for our weekend! I really need to get to work!
