Happy Tuesday!

So I was so lazy I slept in yesterday and didnt get on here and update everything from our SUPER busy weekend! I said all weekend "come monday I am getting up at 6am...no matter what" and then on monday at 6am I woke up....with just enough power to turn my phone alarm off and went back to sleep til 8! Haha!

Well, the weekend was a blast for the most part. I honestly dont remember friday night at the moment so I will recap since Saturday. :P Saturday we got up and had breakfast and got bundled up because it was in the 20's again to go down to Atlanta for the christmas parade! (pictures will be added in next 48 hours). We got to Atlanta with a good hour to spare...and by the time we FOUND peachtree street since there was no directions at all online to get there, we had to run to get to the front of the parade so we could watch the whole thing as it happened! What a mess! I was literally dilusional as we hit Peachtree street saying "I found it!! I found peachtree street!!!!" It was awful and so stressful and then with one block til the parade I said "well I lost, I cant find it...if I make a left right now we can at least take the kids to Fernbank" and then as I was turning my blinker on, Brians says "no, THERE IT IS!" and we seen floats and were over joyed with the fact that after an hour of roaming the streets of Atlanta, we made it!
The parade was awesome! So much better than I thought it would be! The kids really enjoyed it and we were right on the side of the street and they had tons of goodies given to them by parade workers. They had one group of about 60 nurses in all white with full getup on and hats and the ones on the outside lines had I.V bags on holders colored red and green. The sight of them swelled me up with such emotion that I had tears and even lost a tear or two! I dont think anyone in the world has wanted to be a nurse as much as I do and I was just so proud of those girls out there doing what they do. (remember this was a parade to help the Children's Healthcare of Atlanta Hospital hence the nurses). Christopher loved the clowns and huge Spongebob float and Laci loved it all but only sqealed in delight once and that was for the Llamas! LOL!! Brian says he loved seeing us love it and that was his favorite part. We have decided to make this a yearly event to help get us in the Spirit. :)
After the parade, Laci paced out on me and slept all the way home. We got some lunch and then went to the neighbors kid's birthday party. It was fast but the kids had fun. Christopher did fall off the top floor of their double decker fort thing in the backyard and we had a bad scare but other than being shaken up and sore he was ok, Thank God! He is now banned from it permanently. He understands and doesnt want to get back on it anyways.
Saturday night I went alone to the mall to do some shopping for my moms bday gift.
Sunday we got up and did some christmas shopping and then went to my mom's to bring her a gift. Then we went grocery shopping and came home to have cookies and play Guess Who. :)
Yesterday was pretty dull and slow after the big weekend, but it was ok. I went to the gym for the first time in 6 months! I was so scared to go because I hadnt been in so long, but I dont want to wait until january to make some half hearted resloution to lose weight. Because, quite honestly, for the first time in 6 years, losing weight is NOT goal this next year. I plan on getting healthier, but losing weight will be a bonus. If it happens it happens. :)
Well thats all the time I have today. Hope you all have a wonderful day!!
