Birthday Weekend

Andy and Ra's birthdays are only 4 days apart.  That makes it a crazy time for me - plus this year we've moved and we're trying to unpack.  We found time to break away from the craziness and go out for dinner for Andy's birthday.  He loves seafood and we rarely go out to eat a seafood places because I don't like it at all and Ra is picky and Sis will eat some, but not much...We took him out to dinner at The Fish Company which is his favorite here at the beaches.  Friends of his from work joined us for dinner as well.  It was a nice celebration and he got his fill of clams, shrimp, crawfish and gumbo!

Sis and I made him an apple pie for his birthday.  He loved it and Ra got a little jealous that we made dad a pie and not him.  I had to explain that his party is going to be in a few weeks - hopefully we get the house in order before then - and he can have pie or cake.

As a bonus, our sitter called on Saturday to see if she could take our kids to the movies with her little brother and sister.  All we had to do was drop them off at the movie theater.  She got them candy and bought their tickets then her dad drove them home for us afterwards.  What a great treat!  We decided to go out for an impromptu appetizer and drinks.  Such a nice surprise.  The kids are tired because they've been busy.  Friday was a 2 hr. gymnastics practice then dinner with Andy.  On Saturday, Ra played with a friend all day and then they got home late from the movies.  Then both kids went to play Star Wars on Sunday with my friend Leigh's kids for May the 4th...Early to bed for my kiddo tonight - after we go to Moe's to celebrate cinco de mayo in our Mexican hats!  :)

Sis and her friends Taylor and Annah ready to defend the Empire!
